Ah, that works.

The doveadm server socket does not provide the "user" command neiter in
Dovecot v2.1 nor v2.2, does it?

Is it only because, doveadm_register_auth_commands() is never called, or 
would the "user" command not work in the doveadm server, but in the 
doveadm program only? I already query the doveadm socket for the quota 
information and it would make the script easier to get the user 
information the same way.
