Could you elaborate here?  I'm not totally sure what you're thinking, but
it's very possible that this problem is far more simple that I make it out
to be.  Currently, we do this password string prepend/strip by placing a
Java wrapper in front of your IMAP/POP3 server.  Since we have your lovely
open-source product, we figure that it'd be best to put our gross changes
right into the authentication code.

We just need to cover a couple cases:

 1 - User/Password comes in with the pre-determined string prepended.
    A - Strip the string, check user and pass (we're using MySQL auth)
 2 - User/Password comes in without the string
    A - Make sure the user is the right account type

>From what I understand, Courier can already cover 2A.  I *think* I need to
add code to cover 1, 1A, and 2.

I'd be ecstatic if I was shown to be wrong though.  ;-)
