Something like this:

userdb {
  driver = checkpasword
  args = /usr/local/bin/userdb.sh
}

/usr/local/bin/userdb.sh:

#!/bin/sh

path=/fakedir/$AUTH_DOMAIN/$AUTH_USERNAME
if [ -d $path ]; then
  MAIL=maildir:$path:INBOX=/email/$AUTH_DOMAIN/$AUTH_USERNAME:LAYOUT=fs
  EXTRA=mail
  AUTHORIZED=2
  exec "$@"
fi

exit 1

(I'm not sure if the MAIL/mail should be USERDB_MAIL/userdb_mail instead. Probably not.)
