Re: dovecot sasl support

Why authenticating over imap takes so slow?

my saslauthd runs like that

/usr/local/sbin/saslauthd -a rimap -O 127.0.0.1 -n 0 -r

imap server is handled by dovecot of course.

to be sure it's not sendmail i've tried testsaslauthd

testsaslauthd -u wojtek@puchar.net -p mypassword

works but takes 5-10 seconds. server is lightly loaded.

telnet 127.0.0.1 imap responds instantly.

what to check?

seems like saslauthd problem, tried telnetting to imap server and entering login command by hand - works instantly
