Hi, We need a small plug-in developed for dovecot. We are looking to pay for for its development. We need to add support for a custom IMAP command. The command is for the storage of a numeric PIN field in a database. The database is PostgreSQL. Another table in the database defines the minimum and maximum length of the numeric PIN field. The IMAP client server exchange after a user login resembles the following. C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 243289 S: A0001 OK CHANGE successful The numeric PIN number is stored in a field within a table the login username as key. Example errors are: C: A0001 CHANGE PINFJ 24DDD89 S: A0001 NO invalid password type C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 24DDD89 S: A0001 NO invalid characters C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 23 S: A0001 NO password too short C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 234567890123 S: A0001 NO password too long C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 0000 S: A0001 NO password blacklisted We believe this is not a big task for someone familiar with the design and implementation of dovecot plug-ins. We want to minimise our leaning and just get a result. If you are interested in undertaking this development please contact me with a simple proposal. We will require the source code and copyright assignment.

What client will be used to issue this command? Regards, Stephan.
