I need to support Outlook/Outlook Express users of Sendmail with SMTP Authorization. From what I can see, the LOGIN method available in Outlook/Outlook Express is the only applicable way to go at this time. It appears it is not supported in Dovecot right now. Is this correct and, if so, how would I go about adding this support?

Hi Ken -

I think you may be confusing the IMAP/POP server (Dovecot) function with the SMTP server (Sendmail) function. You need SASL support in the SMTP server, which has nothing to do with the IMAP/POP server.

Unless you're talking about authenticating the SMTP users and the IMAP/POP users against the same database and you are using sasldb for the SMTP authentication in which case I think you are out of luck right now. You can configure the SASL library to use password/shadow, SQL, LDAP or PAM though in which case Dovecot and Sendmail could use the same source for authentication.
