Hi, is that here the right place to make feature requests?

dovecot supports as authentication mechanism SCRAM-SHA-1 from RFC 5802 which was updated to SCRAM-SHA-256 in RFC 7677

Can SCRAM-SHA-256 be added to the authentication mechanisms?

I would not like to request, that SCRAM-SHA-1 will be exchanged by SCRAM-SHA-256, since several applications only support SCRAM-SHA-1

Hi!

Adding this is possible, it can even be done as a separate plugin. But I have to ask, why? Do you actually have clients that support this?
