he best way to bootstrap SASL is to first get it working with the sample server and client outside the MTA. Once you have a working SASL system,

Yep, I'm learning that now.  But all<1> my users are in postfix-admin
virtual domains now and it seems a bit late to change that.

Well, some people have MySQL password back-ends working, but IIRC using hashed passwords with the MySQL driver requires patches to that driver...

All the help I've found on this has people adding a plaintext password to the mysql database. This just feels wrong, immoral, sticky, icky, and fill in any other words you like here from your favorite Thesaurus.

I like postfix admin because it allows 'domain admins' who can manage their own users without my having to do everything. If I can migrate to some other virtual mail setup that is still going to allow easy web- based admin of individual domains by individual users, well, at this point I'm considering anything.

Right now I've been trying to get authdaemon (which works fine for impad-ssl) to also for for submission. Apparently this SHOULD work. I am just missing some essential step/knowledge/configuration.

Haven't given up yet, have just given up posting about it for right now.
