thx for your help and support, but changing stuff in qmail is not what I 
really want.
in my case the system is not the real Mailserver its just an archieve 
sitting in between an smtp proxy and the real server, capturing just the 
mails I want, but deliver *everything* to the real server.

so not much to do on the qmail side. and thats the reason everything 
user related is done in dovecot itself.
we do passwd lookups and user lookups only within dovecot. Filter looks like


user_filter = 
(&(|(objectClass=msExchExchangeServerRecipient)(|(objectClass=group)))(|(proxyAddresses=smtp:%Ln@%Ld)(|(mail=%Ln@%Ld))))


...but if nobody knows if its possible inside the dovecot lookup 
process, a new/seperate lookup process that calls dovecot-lda with the 
username instead of the mailaddress might be the only opportunity.
