Sadly, SMTP auth on Postfix _feels_ like an even bigger hack, due to the joy that is SASL. It does work well once you get it setup, but man it's a pain.
Actually it's not. It's a proper way to do it.
Most people think SASL is a PITA. But most of the pain is standard procedure for public key authentication.
Multiple versions, obtuse interaction with PAM, permissions issues, multiple ways of using SASL (authdaemon or not) all make it much more difficult than it needs to be, IMO. And I've never set it up with the advanced methods, only LOGIN and PLAIN, which I imagine most people would want it to work with to be compatible with their POP/IMAP passwords (over SSL only, of course).
Yes, I've used this how-to many times, with a bit of modification to work with Postfixadmin.
Maybe I'll write some docs on it soon here on how to adopt these install procedures, while installing Postfixadmin. That'd be kinda neat. The only thing that you need is some SQL hackery, but it does work quite well.
