[Dovecot] 'Bind'-method authentication for LDAP

[Phillip Needham]

Has there been any thought given to implementing authentication via an
LDAP 'bind', rather than by a password lookup and hash comparison? doing a
bind would obviate the need to make the passwords readable by the dovecot
process and would lend itself to improved security.
