Since SMTP AUTH is an extension to the SMTP protocol itself, and qpsmtpd specifically claims to implement only the SMTP protocol, it makes more sense (to me anyways) to add a Qpsmtpd::Auth library module, instead of as a plugin. From my standpoint, that will be much easier to deal with, since I will want to have the authentication go against my vpopmail database instead of some textfile on the disk.
FWIW, I think it sounds like a splendid idea.
I agree the "check username / password" code should still be in plugins, as you said in the later email.
