Well, could you explain the reason of not using saslauthd in your
configuration? It's simple, secure and efficient, does not break
another software. And it is working right out of the box.

I'd like to know why is the saslauthd so bad, that you did elect to make
such exaggerate comments.

     Skinner's Constant (or Flannagan's Finagling Factor):
       That quantity which, when multiplied by, divided by, added to,
       or subtracted from the answer you get, gives you the answer you
       should have gotten.
