I'm not sure about "recommend", but we just use sasldb2. That gives us the 
greatest flexibility as far as auth mechs are concerned. We offer PLAIN, 
LOGIN (only over SSL/TLS), CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM. That's necessary 
because of the huge variety of mailers that people are using. We sync 
sasldb2 with our own user database for shell accounts with custom scripts. 
Of course it would be nice to have only one centralized user database, but 
with our very heterogeneous environment that's not really an option.

Cheers, Sebastian Hagedorn
