Postfix SASL with AuthdaemonRC?

After spending about two weeks following the Virtual Mailhosting Guide

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml

And being unable to get Postfix to SASL AUTH users accounts stored in a mysql user database, even though testsaslauthd -u <username> -p <password> works, I think I have finally given up.

I was wondering if anybody has tried compiling SASL with Authdaemond support and used this as an authentication mechanism for doing Postfix SASL AUTH. I have only seen very limited documentation, and I don't think any of the Gentoo SASL Packages have AuthDaemon support activatable via portage.

My Courier IMAP does not seem to have any problems authenicating accounts with the mysql database using authdaemond, so I was hoping this might be a viaable option.

Has anybody who is having problems with the virtual mailhosting guide tried this?

What does your logs say?

Authdaemon should be one of the packages/part of package in there somewhere. Don't remember exactly.

Pretty sure one of your logs says something with =plain

hehe

As i said, don't remember right now.. at work and tired after working 14 hours straight.
