i have googled every where, i can not find how to modify poppassd to 
modify virtual users passwords at /etc/dovecot/passwords
, Is there any other way ? i am sure that some one in this mailing list 
have virtual users and uses modified poppassd or other utils so that his 
clients can change their password
