sasl service for other app

[Alessio Cecchi]

Yes,

we are using dovecot, also, for SASL only as authentication provider.

Here some relevants parts of the configuration:

# probably not necessary but dovecot requires it so i set it to /tmp/

mail_location = maildir:/tmp/%u/Maildir:INDEX=memory

# setup a mysql database with your users and password
passdb {
   args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
   driver = sql
}

userdb {
   args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
   driver = sql
}

# here is the most important part, with this you can query SASL via port 
"12345" or via socket
service auth {
   inet_listener {
     port = 12345
   }
   unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
     group = postfix
     mode = 0660
     user = postfix
   }
}

# SASL don't support SSL
ssl = no

Ciao
