| If you want your username to contain an '@' sign, you need to patch SASL to
| make this work, otherwise you'll get '(-13) NO User does not exist' errors or
| something (forget the message off the top of my head).  This is because SASL
| internally uses the '@' character to delimit the SASL realm from the
| username, which messes up your authentication scheme.

Where would I get this patch for SASL?   This was the problem I was encountering
and reported last month and no-one mentioned having to patch SASL!
