There's no such function. In fact with some setups (passdb PAM +  
userdb static) it's not even possible.

Maybe the closest thing you can use is doing a userdb lookup and  
seeing if it returns anything (but that still assumes you're not using  
userdb static). But in which process do you want to do this? In  
dovecot-auth you can modify src/auth/* directly, with others you'd  
have to use connect to dovecot-auth's master UNIX socket.
