+===== Configuring SASL =====
+This section provides details on configuring the saslauthd to provide authentication for Exim4.
+Install the sasl2-bin package.
+<code bash>
+apt-get install sasl2-bin
+</code>
+To configure saslauthd edit the /etc/default/saslauthd configuration file and set START=no to:
+<file bash /etc/default/saslauthd>
+START=yes
+</file>
+Next the Debian-exim user needs to be part of the sasl group in order for Exim4 to use the saslauthd service:
+<code bash>
+sudo adduser Debian-exim sasl
+</code>
+Now start the saslauthd service:
+<code bash>
+sudo /etc/init.d/saslauthd start
+</code>
+Exim4 is now configured with SMTP AUTH using TLS and SASL authentication.
