I've been browsing the wiki and thru my mail-list archives but haven't found an answer. does/can dovecot 0.99.x support authenticating with a SASL database?
I'll be setting up a new mail server for my offices using Sendmail/MIMEDefang/ClamAV/etc with dovecot as the IMAP server.
I'm not familiar at all with LDAP. I know that sendmail will authenticate to a SASL database and it's fairly easy to setup. My goal is that I can support "real" users (actual user accounts) but allow their mail passwords to be different than their login passwords, and changeable via some sort of CGI interface.
(I also have 2 weeks to accomplish this)
any assistance is appreciated

Nope. Maybe some day, but not in my near future plans.

MySQL or PostgreSQL would be probably easiest way to do it. wiki.dovecot.org has some howtos for them.
