      Thank you, thank you.  I'll be looking forward to testing this in
alpha4.  I may try to download the CVS and test it on another
non-production machine.

Added to CVS:
# Users can be temporarily disabled by adding a passdb with deny=yes.
# If the user is found from that database, authentication will fail.
# The deny passdb should always be specified before others, so it gets
# checked first. Here's an example:
#passdb passwd-file {
# File contains a list of usernames, one per line
#args = /etc/dovecot.deny
#deny = yes
#}
