Nope. What do you need it for?
I dont known about Angel, but for me is useful because sometimes i need to
deactivate smtp/imap/pop access from accounts, or change their home after
storage migration, and removing a specific record i can use a long time
cache.
I'm not sure that the auth cache holds that information, but I think you
can at least invalidate a particular auth cache entry by
1) Changing the user password (and save the previous hash)
2) Authenticate using the new credentials (and invalidate
the auth cache entry). For example, you can just
do a manual connection on your dovecot server
x login someuser newpassword
This will replace the cache entry with a new one.
3) When you are ready to put the account back online, change the
password back to the original. A password mismatch forces
a resync to your authentication system which will restore
the auth cache.
