If you want to allow the user, deny=yes passdb check must fail. So
exit with 1 in that case.

With deny=yes Dovecot doesn't care about shell or home. USER is most
likely also useless unless your check changes it.

If you want to block the user, the checkpassword must succeed. exit 0
doesn't mean success. You have to execute the checkpassword-reply binary
as specified by http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/CheckPassword

OK thanks.. I'll look into this.
