I do have apt-listchanges installed and it does mail me the
changelogs, but I haven't figured out what 'sasl secrets' actually
are. And with a quick glance through groups.google.com I see word
'Cyrus' used with it, and Cyrus is also used with IMAP. Still, I
can't say that I'd know what 'sasl secrets' are; I admit, I'm not
very good with search engines... and for what Google gave me, I
didn't get very much more educated. Maybe I'm just tired.
As I mentioned in my earlier mails, I just do not know what sasl
actually is and what piece of something would use this group.
Anyway, this is no biggie, as I know understand that it isn't
world-shaking issue for me. :-) I just have to dig more information
about this.
