I don't know if this is a helpful forum to raise it, but I would like to
request that SASL be enabled in the default build options for

possible, and so far this is the first where I currently have to build
it myself.

If consensus can't be achieved or there is a good reason not to enable
this by default, then postfix-sasl as a slave port may be a desirable
alternative, which I believe has existed in the past.

  +1 on security related options enabled by default
  +1 on OPTIONS_DEFAULT matching upstream defaults
  -1 on OPTIONS_DEFAULT introducing large dependency sets

I am encouraged to hear there are a couple of different options which could be explored. As I have gone and built the package, I have discovered that I do not actually use the SASL option, but the DOVECOT2 option. I now have a couple of questions:

1. What is the difference between DOVECOT{,2} and simply SASL? Is SASL actually Cyrus SASL? After reading the Makefile, I'm not sure.

2. If I actually want the DOVECOT2 and not the SASL option, is it likely I am going to be able to (advocate for and) get a binary package from upstream servers at some point? How can the range of options be handled?

Cheers,
Greg.
