[Dovecot] Multiple Authentication Databases

[Jonathan Tripathy]

Yes, but the problem there is that each database is controlled by 
different untrusted individuals. If someone were to create a 
username/password on a database that is higher in the list, they could 
authenticate as that user, which is undesirable.
