The value is passed to the SASL library when creating the SASL server handle as the "realm" argument, for example with Cyrus: SASL_SERVER_NEW(service, var_myhostname, realm ? realm : NO_AUTH_REALM, server_address, client_address, NO_SESSION_CALLBACKS, NO_SECURITY_LAYERS, &sasl_conn) what that means is up to the SASL library. The Dovecot SASL driver ignores the realm. -- Viktor. Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored. Please do not ignore the "Reply-To" header.
