Anything that allows you to log in without password checking. For
example a passwd-file containing only valid usernames and nopassword
field. Or maybe SQLite query always returning success.
My pam.d/imap file now looks like this.

#auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_allow.so auth include system-auth account include system-auth session include system-auth
This fails the authentication.
Yes, because you're still doing a system-auth lookup. You want to
allow anyone to log in with any user/pass combination, so only keep
the pam_allow.so line there.
