        Feature: smtpd_sasl_service (until now, this was hard-coded
        internally as "smtp"). On request by Michal (sksoft.cz).
        Files: global/mail_params.h, proto/postconf.proto,
        mantools/postlink, smtpd/smtpd.c, smtpd/smtpd_sasl_glue.c.

>From the postconf(5) manpage:

    smtpd_sasl_service (default: smtp)
       The service name that is passed to the SASL plug−in  that  is  selected
       with smtpd_sasl_type and smtpd_sasl_path.

       This  feature  is  available  in Postfix 2.11 and later. Prior versions
       behave as if "smtp" is specified.
