As I have gone and built the package, I have discovered that I do not actually use the SASL option, but the DOVECOT2 option. I now have a couple of questions: 1. What is the difference between DOVECOT{,2} and simply SASL? Is SASL actually Cyrus SASL? After reading the Makefile, I'm not sure. 2. If I actually want the DOVECOT2 and not the SASL option, is it likely I am going to be able to (advocate for and) get a binary package from upstream servers at some point? How can the range of options be handled? Cheers, Greg.
