Does saslauthd handle backslashes ok for the rest of you? Cause it

I can't reproduce this problem while using the PAM backend. Which saslauthd
backend are you using? If relevant, what sasl configuration is your imap
server using?
Both of these work for me:
testsaslauthd -u username -p 'test\1234'
testsaslauthd -u username -p test\\1234
Where the password is:
test\1234
Saslauthd at the smtp server uses RIMAP as the backend, and the
remote imap server to which it connects (Dovecot) does not use
saslauthd, it uses LDAP. As I said before, this imap server can
understand backslashes in the password, since I successfully
authenticated on it using telnet.
I can reproduce the problem while using the rimap backend.
I've filed the following bug report:
https://bugzilla.cyrusimap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3493
Also, saslauthd has an ldap backend you may want to use, as a work around.
See doc/LDAP_SASLAUTHD in the sasl source for configuration documentation.
