What I want is for dovecot to strip realms and force lowercase of usernames _before passing them to pop3-login or pam for authentication_

So if a user tries to login as "SoMEuSERNAme@msn.com" it actually authenticates them as "someusername". Stripping the realm and lowercasing the name _before checking it against the passwd/shadow files_.

Other pop3 servers like teapop have explicit support for this.

Sounds pretty ugly and kludgy feature. If you used SQL database to store users, you could easily do this.
