Hi dmitriy,
thanks for the answer.  but I can't understand how anonymous can secure
the system.
I see people shouting for disallow_bind_anonymous. any how here is my
saslauthd.conf file
with clear text password

ldap_servers: ldaps://linux.kolkatainfoservices.in:636
ldap_bind_dn: cn=Manager,dc=kolkatainfoservices,dc=in
ldap_bind_pw: secret ### CLEAR test PASSWWORD !!! #####
ldap_search_base:  ou=Users,dc=kolkatainfoservices,dc=in
ldap_version: 3
ldap_filter: uid=%U
ldap_default_domain: kolkatainfoservices.in
