I'd think so.

Also another thought :) I guess you have now two login services for imap and pop3, one for proxy and one for backend? You could do the same for auth processes and override the other one's settings. Something like:

# disable default auth process for proxy lookups
service auth {
  executable = auth -o passdb/proxy/args=ignore.conf
  unix_listener auth-login {
    mode = 0
  }
}

service auth-proxy {
  unix_listener auth-login {
    user = dovecot
    mode = 0600
  }
}

For the -o setting override to work, you need to name the passdb:

passdb proxy {
  driver = sql
  args = ..
}

The ignore.conf would contain sql query that always returns 0 rows, so that it continues to pam.
