Why not just use sql/ldap/whatever?
I may do so. I'm trying to setup our mail environment with as little overhead as possible. At the moment, Postfix and Dovecot are retrieving user information from the passwd file. I wanted to add TLS/SASL access for remote clients to send via our Postfix server - and I didn't want to have to maintain a parallel user database just for that. But I may look at setting up an SQL/LDAP backend for these services - I didn't see the need with our small user pool.
Hmm. I think I misunderstood your questions then. You're trying to make Postfix authenticate against Dovecot IMAP server? That works of course, rimap sends normal IMAP login command. I think. I've only read the manual page.
