Hello Dieter. Thanks for the input, Debian supports more than 8 characters, but sasl package inclosed in Debian seems that don't support more than 8 characters, I will take a look about this and write in debian mail lists, and if can't be solved will write the Debian Package Maintainer asking for this issue. Thanks for all answers.
