hi sebastian,

i made the suggested change:

    --- sasl_minimum_layer: 256
    +++ sasl_minimum_layer: 0

and tried again.  alas, same error & log entries as before, with one minor 
difference -- i'm now asked for a pwd ...

% cyradm --auth DIGEST-MD5 --user testuser --server 
mail.internal.testdomain.com --port 143
   Password:
   cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with DIGEST-MD5 as darkmatter


thx!
