 From what I've found, Dovecot and Postfix support Kerberos/GSSAPI, so 
they seemed like good choices for use with Cosign. And I don't want to 
setup some local proxy to allow passwordless logins. Can I supply some 
webmail with single sign-on using Cosign (or anything else), without 
Kerberos tickets or some passwordless login proxy?

Regarding authN, are you suggesting I keep using something like 
postfixadmin (and it's MySQL storage) for the mail lookups and authZ, 
and some link to LDAP (or Kerberos) for authN? This is new ground for 
me. Any more help is appreciated.
