The complexities associated with authentication will be the most difficult part (at least if you want to build something reusable).

Dovecot has a pretty easily usable auth server that talks pretty simple authentication protocol, and can be also configured to be available via TCP. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Design/AuthProtocol

Also an even simpler way: Just run "doveadm auth test username password" and see if it returns 0.
