Yuk!! Mozilla Messenger's brain-dead enough as it is. ldapdb (2.1.22) 
works o.k., even with Openldap 2.1.23 and I use that for CRAM smtp AUTH 
direct to Postfix 2.0.16 snapshot. Messenger insists on CRAM if it's 
advertised.

The 2.1.23 ldapdb auxprop doesn't allow CRAM, though (insists on SASL 
proxy authorization). I'm happy though, I'm rid of the SASL 2.1.13 bugs 
in a very elegant way (thanks Howard :)
