[Dovecot] Password and special caracter

[Patrick Domack]

Seems to all be working for me.

I tested using the password: test!@#$%^&*é

My first test was using postfix -> dovecot -> mysql
This was to verify if sending email via postfix would make it to  
dovecot and though dovecot without getting messed up. Test passed.

My next test was to setup dovecot to authenicate against win2003  
active directory.
This was just to test that from dovecot -> ad would work without  
issues. This test also passed.

My LDAP config for dovecot:
hosts = ip_of_ad_server
auth_bind = yes
auth_bind_userdn = DOMAIN\%u
ldap_version = 3
base = dc=domain, dc=com
