I wouldn't say that! Cyrus SASL does not in any way depend on Cyrus IMAP,
so if it works it works :)

I'll try to have a look at this in the next week or three, but in the
longer term I might have a crack at writing a "sasl" authenticator (server
only) for Exim, which would be able to advertise DIGEST-MD5, GSSAPI etc.
The SASL API looks quite straightforward, and the Exim's idea of an
authentication conversation seems to fit quite neatly.

Is anyone else looking at this?
