cyrus.conf and Cyrus.conf
pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasldb_path: /usr/local/etc/sasldb2.db

sendmail.conf is this even being used i use postfix
pwcheck_method: saslauthd

smtp.conf this was working with my postfix bincIMAP combo hope it still
does should i be using auxprop here too or will that break postfix and
bincIMAP

# This sets smtpd to authenticate using the saslauthd daemon.
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
# This allows only plain and login as the authentication mechanisms.
mech_list: plain login
