although you said please and thanks I must still ask you if you
haven't got an editor with search facilities... in the very fine
manual, spec.txt, second hit:

pwcheck {<string1>:<string2>}

    This condition supports user authentication using the Cyrus "pwcheck"
    daemon. This is one way of making it possible for passwords to be checked
    by a process that is not running as root. Note: The use of
"pwcheck" is now |
    deprecated. Its replacement is "saslauthd" (see below).

The particular expression you quote does not make sense to me though,
as it should have $1:$2 I think.

(also, try to remember to sign)
