Hello, Let me first restate your question to make sure I understand it. First assumption is that your servers are imap servers. You have two servers, A and B. Server A is using sasl to authenticate users. You want to have Server B authenticate to Server A. This can be done, but there is at least one caveat. The user on Server B must be able to be authenticated by Server A. So, if you are using sasl with a sasldb or /etc/passwd, this may not be a workable solution. If Server A is using something like kerberos or ldap, it can work. What you can do is have Server B use saslauthd and specify the rimap mechanism and point it to Server A. Then authentication requests on Server B go to Server A which then uses whatever( the aforementioned kerberos, ldap, etc. ) to authenticate the user.
