- What is the benefit of using Dovecot's SASL as compared to Cyrus SASL? Is there better performance? Probably not, but I've always hated configuring Cyrus SASL. It's not as flexible and the error and debug messages are worse. I agree... but the one disadvantage to dovecot sasl is it cannot be used as CLIENT mechanism... is adding this capability by any chance on the radar?
Well, as a client Cyrus SASL does pretty well already. And having Dovecot support also client SASL would require a lot of new code which isn't used by Dovecot itself anywhere. It could however be used in the test suite somewhere, e.g. to test the SASL mechanisms themselves. So it would have some merit :)
