Quoting "Evans, Tim" <Tim_Evans@troweprice.com>:

> Well, turns out that, since there was no data in the SASL CRAM-MD5 database

> database exists; if not, it goes on to other methods.

Not to be too picky (okay, to be picky), but: removing it doesn't force PHP or 
IMP to do anything; it means that Cyrus doesn't advertise it, so c-client 
doesn't try it.
