Exim and Dovecot SASL
=====================

Exim v4.64+ users can use Dovecot SASL instead of Cyrus SASL for authenticating
SMTP clients.

conf.d/10-master.conf
---------------------

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
service auth {
...
#SASL
  unix_listener auth-client {
    mode = 0660
    user = mail
  }
...
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

exim.conf
---------

Create authenticators for Dovecot:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
dovecot_login:
  driver = dovecot
  public_name = LOGIN
  server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
# setting server_set_id might break several headers in mails sent by
authenticated smtp. So be careful.
  server_set_id = $auth1

dovecot_plain:
  driver = dovecot
  public_name = PLAIN
  server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
  server_set_id = $auth1
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
