You need to use TLS before PLAIN will be advertised.



Thanks! That worked.


One more question (*I think*).  I added some debugging statements to
imtest and it looks like it's sending the normal username (-u;
"pointer") when it logs into the IMAP server.   What is it sending to
the IMAP server to tell it that you want to authorize (-a) as another
user (ie. cyrus)?

Just realized that you have the options backwards:


-a is the user to authenticate as (user whose password you know)

-u is the user to proxy as (behave as if you logged in as this user)



I'll start poking through the SASL docs...


The PLAIN response has the form:

authzid\0authid\0password
