I've just installed dovecot to replace courier-imap and I've found out it didn't support some of the typical LDAP userPassword schemes, so I've written some based on OpenSSL API. Furthermore I noticed that the MD5 one seems broken. If it isn't a requirement to ship its own implementation of a crypto algorithm, I would send in a patch to replace schema checks with those based on libcrypto.
Any overlap with the LDAP MD5/SMD5 handler at http://www.roughtrade.net/dovecot/ ?
Personally I prefer that Dovecot does its own crypto. I like Timo's buffer libraries, and using external libs would weaken that; you might as well go use Cyrus SASL.
