I've hacked together a checkpassword style program, which I've called 
courierpasswd, that authenticates users against courier authentication 
modules. Not only does it authenticate users, it can also change their 
passwords. I've set it up on my system which uses qmail as the MTA and 
courier as the IMAP server. Qmail has the smtp-auth patch applied and 
I've added my courierpasswd program to the qmail-smtpd run script. I'm 
also using courierpasswd with TMDA (the anti-spam software I use) to 
authenticate users when tagging outgoing mail. I haven't encountered any 
problems yet since I installed the program.

I would like to know if there is any demand for such a program. If so, 
I'll make it available for download.

There's only one catch (isn't there always). I'm completely clueless 
when it comes to writing portable makefiles. The one I have works for me 
but it won't work for anyone else without some degree of fiddling. I 
would like to set it up using autoconf but I have no idea how to do so 
and it would take me some time to learn how given the other projects I 
have on the go.

I'm hoping someone out there with knowledge of autoconf is feeling 
charitable and will offer to create the required files for courierpasswd.

So, if you can help with the autoconf setup or are just interested in 
using courierpasswd, let me know. The more responses I get, the faster 
I'll find a site to post the program to.
