The subdomain users are not already defined, but we are thinking in
define them in a sql (mysql) database. Another SASL authentication
backend I think we could use is the imap authentication of SASL.

What I don't know how to do is to configure SASL in our MTA to
authenticate our users against an LDAP directory and the subdomain users
against the other backend. Maybe with differents SASL realms anda
authentications methods based in the realm we could do it, but I don't
know exactly how to do it, and the SASL documentation I have is really
poor.
