I am looking for PHP functions that implement passwords that much the dovecotpw implementation.

I downloaded one from PEAR, Crypt_HMAC, but the passwords it generates look nothing like the dovecotpw passwords, which could be my fault because I know nothing about the field.

All libraries/utilities I know generate an HMAC-MD5 string (32bytes). Dovecot uses HMAC-MD5-CONTEXTs (64bytes) for CRAM-MD5 authentication.
