If you are using Samba 4 (possibly recent versions of S3), any reason
you are not doing krb5 and ldap (for account verification, not
authentication) on dovecot instead of through pam? It is a bit harder to
setup, but no text passwords. I still do pam_krb5 for devices that
cannot do kerberos.

I am using Maildir, but my setup is currently largely idle.
