[Dovecot] ANY password option
Hi
We sometimes migrate mailboxes over to one of our mail servers which has a very handy feature called 'ANY password'. This will allow access to a mailbox using the given username and disregard checking for the password. This is a useful feature for many reasons.
Is there a possibility Dovecot could have such a a feature or is there a workaround already.
Thanks

Great. I should read the Wiki more often. This is another case of 'same difference'.
I had a quick read, but do you know if it is possible to capture the password sent from the client. With our current mail server, we are able to capture the password when the client logs in, then we script it to change the password on the server. No changes on the client side.
Thanks for the link.

What passdb do you use? With SQL NULL password means "any password", although with v1.1 you'll also need to return "nopassword" field.
