dovecot - Aug 2007 - ANY password option

Hi

We sometimes migrate mailboxes over to one of our mail servers which has 
a very handy feature called 'ANY password'. This will allow access to a 
mailbox using the given username and disregard checking for the 
password. This is a useful feature for many reasons.

Is there a possibility Dovecot could have such a a feature or is there a 
workaround already.

Thanks

What passdb do you use? With SQL NULL password means "any password",
although with v1.1 you'll also need to return "nopassword" field.
