dovecot - Nov 2010 - Virtual Users, PAM authentication, MySql backend

Hi,

I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but i know that is not possible in
Courier, so, I need to check if I can do it with Dovecot.

Can I use PAM authentication, witch get the users data from a external
database (like mysql)? I've found many ways to do this stuff disconnectedly
(like pam authentication with passwd ), but i can put all together? I can't
use the passwd...

Thank's,

So I guess you mean something like (v1.x configuration):

passdb pam {
}
userdb sql {
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
}
