Package: libsasl2-2 Version: 2.1.24~rc1.dfsg1+cvs2011-05-23-4 Severity: normal
Under 2.1.24, libsasl fails if it can't resolve the current hostname. That is, if my current hostname is resolved by /etc/hosts, I get $ imtest -s -a tyson my.mailhost.ca verify error:num=18:self signed certificate TLS connection established: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) S: * OK Dovecot ready.

If it is not, then I get $ imtest -s -a tyson my.mailhost.ca failure: SASL initialization If I downgrade to the 2.1.23 version it does not matter whether my current hostname resolves or not. It works either way. Cheers! -Tyson PS: This is the root source of the very strange KMail error Unable to authenticate via PLAIN.
