Great, thanks!

Yes, my initial digging did lead me to conclude it would be a pain to
add new settings into the passdb block. But the format you provided is
equivalent, which works fine for me.

Curiously, what happens when you specify this:

auth_username_format=%n
passdb passwd-file {
  args = username_format=%u /etc/imap.passwd
}

In my attempt to implement something like this, I didn't find any
straightforward way to have "username_format=%u" use the original
username, only the auth_username_format.

Also:
passdb passwd-file {
  args = username_format=%u /etc/imap.passwd.%d
}

Does this provide the full username, or does the %d still truncate
at the '@'?

Although I'm curious how you implemented these points, it's easy to do
the right thing in both cases once you know how it works, so it's not a
big problem either way.

Thanks.
