The "dovecot-sasl" option for pkgsrc/mail/postfix enables xsasl_dovecot
code in Postfix and drags in mail/dovecot as a dependency.  May I suggest
to remove this option and build with -DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE="dovecot" by
default?


Motivations:

- the code is in the Postfix distribution itself and does not depend on
  dovecot at all for building, hence it is stupid to "have to" rebuild
  Postfix when rebuilding dovecot.

- this makes a default pkgsrc-built Postfix more resemble a NetBSD-shipped
  Postfix (which builds with dovecot SASL enabled).
