It would seem that 'rimap' is the simplest authentication
method. You are asking saslauthd to do the IMAP login
request for an SMTP authentication. It's fast and it's good.
CYRUS-SASL2 is what you'll need to install first.
Your /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf would be:
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN ANONYMOUS
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
Postfix's main.cf should have *at least* this:
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
Your /etc/default/saslauthd would need this:
START=yes
MECHANISMS="rimap -O localhost"
Yup. I was surprised to learn myself it's really that simple.
Using SASL2 saslauthd/PAM/SQL
i.e.:
where /etc/pam.d/smtp is something like:
auth sufficient pam_mysql.so user=dbmail
passwd=dbmail host=127.0.0.1 db=dbmail table=dbmail_users
usercolumn=userid passwdcolumn=passwd crypt=1
account required pam_mysql.so user=dbmail
passwd=dbmail host=127.0.0.1 db=dbmail table=sbmail_users
usercolumn=userid passwdcolumn=passwd crypt=1
In the alternative to rimap you can have SASL2 do direct PAM
SQL queries to the database which you might find a tad
challenging (annoying?) to configure -- very efficient once
working. Saslauthd doesn't quite play nice with MySQL unless
you do a tiny re-jigging of the Makefiles (via configure).
This latter method also requires that you insert user
account passwords as plain text which is not the case with
rimap.
I now use rimap for smaller systems and SQL for large
(*large*) systems.
If you would like a 1-2-3 how-to on the SQL, see the Wiki or
give me a shout out and I'll send you mine. Rimap is likely
your best bet.
best...

Hello
Has anyone setup dbmail with pam
I made an attempted to do this but I am not sure what to do with these:
logmsgcolumn=msg logusercolumn=user loghostcolumn=host
logpidcolumn=pid logtimecolumn=time
account sufficient pam_mysql.so user=dbUserName passwd=dbUserPasswd
host=localhost db=dbmail table=dbmail_users usercolumn=userid passwd$
auth sufficient pam_mysql.so user=dbUserName passwd=dbUserPasswd
host=localhost db=dbmail table=dbmail_users usercolumn=userid
passwdcolumn=passwd crypt=encryption_type logtable=last_login
## What about these? ##
logmsgcolumn=msg logusercolumn=user loghostcolumn=host
logpidcolumn=pid logtimecolumn=time
