My guess is that you don't have PLAIN for _any_ of the services because the plugins aren't installed where Cyrus/SASL can find them. By default, they should be in /usr/lib/sasl2. This can be changed via configure options at compile time, but you need to make sure that both Cyrus and SASL are configured similarly. -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.
