cyrus-sasl is required by several things, including sendmail and
evolution connector.
you can do this from the command line to see exactly what you have
installed that needs cyrus-sasl
rpm -e cyrus-sasl
(that will fail and tell you every package that depends on something
provided by cyrus-sasl)
My guess is that you can not remove it easily.
