The docs on that page point to 4.10 spec. 4.52 was just released.

I use authentication via SASL. With Debian 3.1, I installed sasl2-bin
and then set 'CYRUS_SASLAUTHD_SOCKET=/var/run/saslauthd/mux' in the
Makefile (that's the default path for Debian). For my Gentoo boxen I
emerged cyrus-sasl and set 'CYRUS_SASLAUTHD_SOCKET=/var/lib/sasl2/mux'
in the Makefile (Gentoo's default path). Not sure what FreeBSD is. I
have the PAM config to check for system-auth.

My auth section in the conf:

begin authenticators

plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_prompts = :
server_set_id = $2
server_condition = ${if saslauthd{{$2}{$3}}{1}{0}}
server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{no}{yes}}

login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = ${if saslauthd{{$1}{$2}}{1}{0}}
server_set_id = $1
server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{no}{yes}}

Works beautifully with Outlook and Thunderbird.
