Authenticate system user with alternate password
Is there a way to configure Dovecot to authenticate a system user against a different password list? I want to give my own personal account on my machine a password for IMAP and have that be different from the password I use to log into the system for maintenance purposes.
I currently do this for outbound email by having the MTA authenticate against a SASL database during the initial SMTP connection (STARTTLS).

configure dovecot to use a separate passwd-file and simply use the
same usernames.

username synchronisation may be the challenge...
