Hi Sergey,

no, I am shure, it is not. I have never had segmentation faults.

As far as I have understand the docs, saslpasswd2 _always_ takes the
domain name of the local machine if you don't set it at the command
line when initialising the password. That is a pitfall, if you change
it after having implememted your mailusers. That is because password 
is correct, but login doesn't match anymore.

Think it over, Sergey, how should sasl destinguish between
user.name at domain.one and user.name at domain.two if you have user.name,
too? Does it belong to domain.one, domain.two, all or none?
