On http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html
it says: 

To find out what SASL implementations are compiled into Postfix, use the 
following commands:

% postconf -a (SASL support in the SMTP server)
% postconf -A (SASL support in the SMTP+LMTP client)

On our RHEL 8 server, postfix 3.5.8-1, dovecot 2.3.8-9, the responses are:

% postconf -a
cyrus
dovecot

% postconf -A
cyrus

Checking installed packages, we find
cyrus-sasl
cyrus-sasl-gssapi
cyrus-sasl-lib
cyrus-sasl-plain

all 2.1.27-5

Does this mean that smtpd_sasl_type should be "cyrus" if we want to use LMTP ?
Does this also mean that the rest of the Dovecot SASL setup described on the 
page is worthless ?

Thanks.
