    He wants to know how the user can login with login name 'foo' to mailbox
    called 'bar', that has login 'bar' associated with it.

    You can solve this with perdition. You let perdition translate username
    'foo' into username 'bar'.

    I don't know if you can achieve this with saslauthd.
