[Dovecot] Possible Feature request
I've Looked over the list of Auth methods that dovecot can use But i didn't see a option for a custom auth option. Would it be possible to add in a way for dovecot to call a script to check a users login info. have it able to retun the the homedir,gid/uid, and weather or not the password matched.

maybe check out the "checkpasswd" feature. if you make your script compatible to the "checkpasswd" protocol you can "ab"-use this. but iirc only 1.0test releases have that feature.
just my 2 cents

I added checkpassword support for 1.0-tests, but currently it only works as passdb, not userdb. userdb implementation should be pretty easy nowadays, but I think I'll leave it until people actually start asking about it.. :)
