[Dovecot] dovecot: auth-worker: order of authentication types

[David Obando]

I found out myself how to control the order:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases.

still asking how to set up dovecot authentication so
*users that authenticate with only their username (i.e. system users)
always and only use PAM authentication
*users that authenticate with their e-mail-address always and only use
SQL authentication

thanks,
david
