But the backend is a part of the setup. Shouldn't it cover it?

My wishlist features for example would be:

/etc/postfix/some_ldap.cf:
...
ldap_sasl_auth = yes
ldap_sasl_mech = EXTERNAL

or something similar. How hard could this be to include into the ldap_table 
code? Not meant ironically.

Postfix uses SASL for "user to service" authentication, right? But what is with 
postfix as user to backend services?

I am very new to this topic, so if my question sounds silly or even shows some 
"not understanding the material", then I apologize for it. I try to learn and 
to understand. :)
