    On FreeBSD, I've installed these ports:
    cyrus-imapd-2.2.12_1
    cyrus-sasl-2.1.21
    cyrus-sasl-saslauthd-2.1.21

    imapd.conf includes:
    virtdomains: userid
    defaultdomain: riboflavin.net
    sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
    sasl_auto_transition: no
    sasl_mech_list: plain login
    unixhierarchysep: yes

    The rest of the settings I would think aren't related; paths, etc.

    The ldap filter in saslauthd is set for:
    ldap_search_base: ou=%d,<base org>
    ldap_scope: sub
    ldap_auth_method: custom
    ldap_filter: (mailRoutingAddress=%u)

    Though I tried without to make sure that wasn't the problem, I run
    saslauthd with the -r flag, so realm should be appended to the userid
    if passed.

    When I run testsaslauthd -u -p <password> I get:
    0: OK "Success."

    When I run imtest -s -a localhost, first it
    pauses for about 20 seconds, which I can't explain; happens with a
    standard imap client as well. When I enter the password I get:
    S: A01 NO authentication failure
    Authentication failed. generic failure
    Security strength factor: 256

    If I look in the auth log, it shows:
    Oct 5 15:30:10 testsrv saslauthd[85649]: do_auth : auth
    failure: [user=marcus] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=ldap]
    [reason=Unknown]

    which I'm assuming means it was passed marcus in %u and no realm
    instead of in %u and/or marcus in %u and
    riboflavin.net in %r/%d.
