dovecot - Mar 2010 - Authentication userdb file / configuration help - newbie question...

Hi All,

     I need to configure Dovecot with a XMail server (
www.xmailserver.org ) - this server uses a userdb file with the
following format:

"domain"[TAB]"account"[TAB]"encrypted-passwd"[TAB]"account-id"[TAB]"account-dir"[TAB]"account-type"[NEWLINE]

How can authenticate Dovecot against this userdb file? Was anyone doing that?
Maybe, can I authenticate Dovecot using SMTP Auth?

Thank you for any help!

The only way would be to write checkpassword script that parses it.
http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword

Easier would be to write a script that parses the file and creates
passwd-like file, which Dovecot can authenticate against, and then just
keep those two files in sync.

I don't think XMail supports authentication via Dovecot.
