attached patch implements Compuserve RPA athentication mechanism.

First time I've heard of it. Does it have some advantages over other mechanisms? Is it useful to distribute with Dovecot, or should it rather be just a separately distributed plugin? Except: @@ -14,7 +14,8 @@ enum passdb_credentials { PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_CRAM_MD5, PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_DIGEST_MD5, PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_LANMAN, - PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_NTLM + PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_NTLM, + PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_RPA }; Plugins can't update this list. And it's already too large. I think I'll change these to strings.
