My guess is that your sasl2 configuration is configured to use your imap server
to authenticate users. Check your sasl2 software's documentation.
You're correct. This server is our smtp, imap, and pop server. All
authentication is done there, supposedly through PAM, but dovecot seems
to interfere with sendmail's smtp auth processes and overrides what
typically was done in a non-interferred way with sasl.
