Just like the UNIX login name, the SASL login name can't contain
':'. With Cyrus SASL configurations, they can be the same thing.

As a matter of principle, avoid special characters in identifiers
such as login names and email address localparts. Special characters
may cause problems when an identifier is used as part of a filename,
in an email address, in a command line, or in some other context.
