MTA Auth Host?

[graffiti]

Hi folks,

I just want to clarify the function of this new MTA server option, MTA Auth Host. According to your documentation, this option points to a zimbra store server so I guess your modified cyrus-sasl will SOAP that store server to authenticate SMTP user. Is it right? This option is introduced from the GA version, just curious how did cyrus-sasl do its job in the past? How could it know which store server to SOAP without the MTA Auth Host option?

TIA,

Previously, it assumed that the auth host was the localhost - which caused problems during multi-host installs. So, the answer to how it worked before was "poorly".
