Ahh, OK. For some reason I was assuming that the best match was used.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work either. I've got it set up just as
you recommended:

[root at cc-popmap7 ~]# cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf | nl | grep -B1 -A4
passdb
    35    local 128.223.142.138 {
    36      passdb {
    37        driver = sql
    38        args = /etc/dovecot/proxy-sqlite.conf
    39      }
    40    }
    41    passdb {
    42      driver = pam
    43    }
    44    userdb {
    45      driver = passwd

It still doesn't respect the driver for that local block, and uses PAM for
everything:

May 31 16:48:16 cc-popmap7 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH    1
PLAIN    service=imap    secured    lip=128.223.142.138

Interestingly enough, if I run 'doveconf -n' it doesn't seem to be retaining
the order I specified. The local section is dropped down to the very end:

[root at cc-popmap7 ~]# doveconf -n | nl | grep -B1 -A4 passdb
    31    }
    32    passdb {
    33      driver = pam
    34    }
    35    plugin {
    36      quota = fs:user:inode_per_mail
--
    82    local 128.223.142.138 {
    83      passdb {
    84        args = /etc/dovecot/proxy-sqlite.conf
    85        driver = sql
    86      }
    87    }

Ideas?
