My dovecot is currently configured to authenticate vs. a userdb/passdb passwd-file that contains, for each user:

accounts or in a MySQL/LDAP db. Does anyone else use passdb/userdb passwd-files like above and have a method for allowing users to change their passwords from the web?
Sorry for the slightly off-topic question, but hoping another Dovecot admin has solved this problem. Preference is to not to be tied to any particular webmail client just for this change password feature.
Maybe you can use Usermin for that (see http://www.webmin.com/usermin.html). It has a module to change system passwords.
