You're going to have to compile CRAM-MD5 support into SASL (if you don't
already have it). Then you're going to have to allow your users to
create a CRAM-MD5 secret in /etc/sasldb. If you search the archives, I
think you'll find a PHP-based front-end for doing this. If you go ahead
with this, you might want to just use sasldb for plaintext passwords as
well.
