Good one :-)

Hello Group,
I have a fully operational postfix server (ver. 2.1.5) set up to host separate domains with virtual accounts. Tests show that the postfix server is successfully sending email messages by way of telnet and it receives and stores new email messages to virtual accounts from the internet.
Now I want to move forward and integrate dovecot imap server to work with postfix. I understand that I need some way for users to be authenticated by the imap server, so I also want to use cyrus-sasl. Ultimately I want to provide a webmail interface using apache and squirrelmail to my users.
I'm finding many different examples on the net that install the software components in very different steps. I'd like a push in the right direction as to what is most logically installed next to achieve the goal.
Thank you for your help in this regard.

Umm... no.
Dovecot comes with its own SASL implementation, which will save you the pain and mental anguish of having to touch Cyrus-SASL.
If Postfix is delivering mail, then once you have Dovecot installed, you just need to tell it where to find the mail, user list, and passwords, and you're off. It really can be that simple.

BTW, does anyone know how to make Exim talk to the SASL in Dovecot?

exim can do almost anything with sockets, and dovecot provides one to send auth requests to. Last time I looked into this, it seemed possible to have exim ask dovecot's auth demon, but I didn't implement it. No need to write any code though except for exim's config file ;)

Search for "dovecot" in the exim Wiki, there's a patch to talk to dovecot's auth socket. Don't know why Phil didn't integrate it.
I'm not used it, but tried it once and it worked.
Wow, shweet. Thanks Curtis, I think I'll be digging into dovecot's sasl features and giving it a try. Rather than meander around in the how-to's, I should've asked my question alot earlier in the process. Definitely appreciate the help.
