38 month ago, I submitted a patch to increase AUTH_WORKER_MAX_LINE_LENGTH to use exotic authentication scheme (see message below). The patch was accepted, but now I upgrade to dovecot 2.1.7, I face the same problem with MASTER_AUTH_MAX_DATA_SIZE. I had to increase it from 1024 to 4096.

Is it safe to do so? Would such a change be accepted upstream? The patch is below.

Couldn't you change the client to use AUTHENTICATE PLAIN command instead? The buffer wouldn't be a problem then..
