Your PHP application generates the password with the given scheme and write it to the password field.

wie soll ich denn via PHP dass Passwort generieren, wenn ich nicht weis in welcher Art und Weise Passwort und Salt miteinander kombiniert werden müssen damit Dovecot es versteht.

I'm not familiar with this but there were a thread in February this year about salted passwords: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-February/046715.html

As far as I know dovecotpw or doveadm creates a random salt on every run so when you use PHP it should be possible to use standard routines with a random salt.
