I use my own mail server and relay using my ISP provided email
account. AFAIK, you need both dovecot and cyrus.

Here's my own personal modification to postfix slackbuild.  I've
included another option "both" that will include both cyrus and dovecot
support.

I've used this mod to build last 3 or 4 versions of postfix and haven't
had any issue.

# Build with dovecot sasl by default, cyrus/dovecot are supported
SASL=${SASL:-dovecot}
case "$SASL" in
     dovecot) SASLARGS='-DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE=\"dovecot\"'
              SASLLIBS="" ;;
       cyrus) SASLARGS='-DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I/usr/include/sasl'
              SASLLIBS="-L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/sasl2 -lsasl2" ;;
        both) SASLARGS='-DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE=\"dovecot\"
- -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I/$
              SASLLIBS="-L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/sasl2 -lsasl2" ;;
           *) SASLARGS=''
              SASLLIBS="" ;;
esac

Hope that helps,
