Nice. Feel free to post a link to it on the wiki.
Still. I really don't get the usage of dovecot just for doing SMTP-AUTH.
Plain silly imo. There is this thing called saslauthd which is a
pluggable daemon for just _this_, and also part of the base SASL toolkit.
I've used (and still use) the rimap and ldap mechanisms. They work
really well and esp. the rimap mechanism is trivial to set up.
