No clue - I'm quoting hearsay, where someone on the Cyrus mailing list
mentioned that they were moving to sendmail as nothing else supported
pass-through of AUTH from SMTP->LMTP. If was certainly mentioned that
Postfix developers were actively against this, sendmail just did it
automatically unless specifically instructed not to, and Exim wasn't
discussed at all.

I'd be curious to know if anyone actually has it working with anything
other than sendmail, just for future reference.

Mike.
