dovecot - Jan 2005 - dovecot + vpopmail

I was just wondering how dovecot interacts with vpopmail. Does it just call the
vchkpw and pass the username and password to it then wait for a it to tell
dovecot weather the user is vaild or not ? Does vchkpw pass back the users
homedir ?

PS. My plan is to just replace vchkpw  with a script/program of own. that
dovecot can call to auth a user again xmail passwd file. And using
"auth_passdb = static uid=<uid> gid=<gid> home=<dir
template> mail=<dir template>" to fill in all the holes.

No, it uses vpopmail library directly.

For that you could use checkpassword passdb in 1.0-tests.
