    Try auxprop ldapdb.
    get patch 2406
    https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=2406
    and a cyrus-sasl tarball. With cyrus-sasl-2.1.20 you either have to
    tweak configure.patch or configure.in after applying the patch.
    Hints on how to set up SMTP,sasl and ldap see my signature.
