Why do you need pam for virtual users?

Back in the old 0.99-days, I had this:

auth_passdb = passwd-file /passwd
auth_userdb = static uid=103 gid=104 home=/var/spool/vmail

with passwd lines looking like "someuser:{HMAC-MD5}something". The
"{HMAC-MD5}something" parts were generated with 'dovecotpw -s HMAC-MD5'
(you need this for CRAM-MD5).
