[TriLUG] Postfix plus Cyrus IMAP

[Ken VanDine]

I can't help with the SMTP Auth stuff, but I would recommend checking out
web-cyradm for a web interface for account management.  I am using it now and am
pretty happy so far.  I uses a MySQL database for authentication and general
management.  So, you would need to build Postfix, SASL and Cyrus with mysql
support.  You can find it at:  http://www.web-cyradm.org/  There are also plans
for integration with IMP for password changes and vacation auto-responders.

I hope that helps.
