Recently we changed Postfix to use Dovecot for our SASL authentication

to username_chars. The slightly longer fix was a pretty simple patch to
Dovecot. I put the trimming in auth_request_fix_username. I didn't think
it warranted a full strfuncs function.
If there is a better way to do this I'm all ears. I don't really like
patching with my own code, even if I did essentially steal if from the
kernel's strstrip().
How about this: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/15ddb7513e2d
Then you can use auth_username_format = %Tu
Ah, a much better place to put it.
Applied cleaningly, seems to be working well. Thanks!
I've added it to the wiki, http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables
