I am interested in doing this very thing, but rather with Postfix, to use
cyrus-sasl.
Example: During the postfix install, it brings up a text menu, and asks what
options to compile into postfix.  Is there a way to bypass the menu, but be
certain that everytime postfix is portupgraded, or make deinstall/install
(or make reinstall'ed) that SASL and TLS will be selected and compiled in?

I'm really looking for a solution that won't be "broken" by cvsupping to a
new version...
I'm just looking for either documentation on this, or a nudge in the right
direction.  ;)
Thanks!
