Description Christian Axelsson 2002-07-15 19:56:00 UTC 
Compiling postfix (1.,1,11-r1) with SASL (cyrus-sasl 2.1.5-r1) support doesn't
work as expected.
It fails when trying to link because of it cant find -lsasl.
I've checked my system and found out that I dont have -lsasl but I have -lsasl2.
I hacked the ebuild and replaced -lsasl with -lsasl2 and I got to a point where
it couldnt find sasl.h, so I added /usr/include/sasl also.
Now it seems like -lsasl2 isnt backward compatible with -lsasl so the build
breaks anyway. I notice this as a major bug because SASL is needed for SMTP AUTH
and that's very importand when hosting virtual mail-servers where users need to
connect from untrusted IPs.

postfix-1.1.11.20020613 which is currently in portage fixes this problem.
