>Description:
    From version 2.1.17 of cyrus-sasl2, realms are dropped from usernames. This means that when authenticating against an SQL with usernames in the format "user at example.com", SMTP-AUTH will never authenticate because saslauthd will only pass it the "user" part without "@example.com".

A good discussion on this subject:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&c2coff=1&safe=off&threadm=c4pfnm%242s4b%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dsaslauthd%2Brealm%2B2.1.18%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26c2coff%3D1%26safe%3Doff%26selm%3Dc4pfnm%25242s4b%25241%2540FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw%26rnum%3D
>How-To-Repeat:
    Using cyrus-sasl2 v 2.1.17 and later try authenticating against SMTP-AUTH using a "user at example.com" username format, and watch the SQL logs for what is being passed.
>Fix:
    Possible options:
- Don't allow cyrus-sasl2 v 2.1.17 or 2.1.18 to be installed?
- Put --with-authdaemond option as available to the port so that a workaround can be quickly installed?
- Get some more blurb into the compile process so that admin is aware of the changes as opposed to blindly nuking his install (and this was not a fun thing to debug!)
