[Dovecot] Forcing users to change passwords
Suppose I have users with a default password like "change-my-password" and I want to detect users who haven't changed their password and alert (nag) them about changing it. How would I do that?

Write a script that checks your user/password database for that password, and sends an email to those users.
If your passwords are hashed, you can create a new user with "change-my-password" as its password and check the DB to see what that hashes to.

How is this a dovecot question? The answer depends on what you use for your passdb backend, and whether or not whatever you use to manage your users supports such a thing - if not, you'd have to script it.
