I've been using this setup for a while, and a few weeks ago, I wrote
finally wrote it down

http://wiki.linuxwall.info/doku.php/en:ressources:dossiers:cyrus:imapd
look for chapter "Cyrus SASL and OpenLDAP"

But, then, I realized cyrus-imapd could bind using SASL directly to the
LDAP directory without using saslauthd. I've been trying to make this setup
work but didn't succeed yet. (I need to spend more time on the LDAP
configuration side).
