Bloody hell. KISS. Use rimap. On debian: /etc/defaults/saslauthd START=yes MECHANISMS="rimap -O localhost" /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN ANONYMOUS pwcheck_method: saslauthd And that is all she wrote. Postfix will use saslauthd for authentication, saslauthd will use an imap connection for authentication. Done. No need to worry about the imap server used, or the encryption of the passwords therein.
