Dovecot uses multiple back ends. I am using more than one. I am also
using the standard shadow/passwd files. And I am developing a third
authentication protocol that will authenticate against an external
server that I don't have direct access to.
Do you want to write an example of how I would authenticate against both
a Linuxconf and a passwd/shadow file system? I'm not convinced Exim can
do it. But a simple IMAP call could.
