The problem isan't the authentication by Mysql.

The problem is that when a mail is recieved on host, qmail check /etc/passwd at first.
If no user on /etc/passwd, qmail search Mysql database for use name.
If qmail find the username on Mysql, it send the mail to under the directory that you 
set mysql 'home' filed.

I would like that the Qmail not looked for user on /etc/passwd.  I would like that it 
I looked on Mysql without passing for /etc/passwd


The qmail functions in this mode:

                     smtp, pop3
                            |
                    |               found
                       /etc/passwd  ----------------->   ~user/Maildir
                            |
                    |   not found
                    |
                        Mysql

I would like it functions in this mode:

                     smtp, pop3
                            |
                    |
                            |
                        Mysql
