Perhaps you should read the documentation on saslauthd. The SASL
library has plugins for different authentication backends, such as DB,
LDAP, PAM, etc... In other words, Postfix is oblivious to the
authentication backend, it merely passes the request to the SASL
library, who then in turn, tries to authenticate against the
configured backend.
