I can't help with your pop-before-SMTP, but I can suggest that you not do that. :) The better way to do it is with SMTP AUTH, which most MUA's should support these days.
If your MTA is Postfix (which appears so from your headers) Timo has a patch which ties in SASL AUTH support without using Cyrus SASL. I use it and recommend it highly. See the Postfix SASL_README and the patch at http://dovecot.org/patches/postfix/ (for Postfix 2.2.x) or my own ports of it to the 2.3 snapshots: http://www.nodns4.us/postfix-2.3-20051121-dovecot-auth.patch.gz
http://www.nodns4.us/postfix-2.3-20050630-dovecot-auth.patch.gz still exists for those who got on the bleeding edge but were too lazy to stay there. :)
I'm not the original poster of the question, yet I have a question about this patch.
What would be the benefits of using this patch? I mean, dovecot is supposed to have its own SASL implementation (as stated in the docs) and we are even using it. So why would one need a specific patch for postfix when dovecot is completely on its own feet?
