Easy. It's also possible to do as a plugin. Here's one for Dovecot v1.0:

It probably needs some small changes for v1.1. At least __attr_unused__
has been renamed to ATTR_UNUSED.

[Dovecot] Adding new password schemes?

[Ian R. Justman]

Hi, all.

I was curious how difficult it would be to add a new password scheme to 
Dovecot?  I have to transplant mailboxes from one machine to another, 
the older machine running Post.Office from now-defunct Software.Com, 
which was bought by OpenWave, then discontinued.  Apparently, Netscape's 
mailserver offering from the day also supports this scheme.  There's 
code out there that was incorporated into OpenLDAP a while back which 
can read this scheme, but I need to use MySQL as a source for this.


Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
