Is there a way to configure Dovecot to authenticate a system user against a different password list? I want to give my own personal account on my machine a password for IMAP and have that be different from the password I use to log into the system for maintenance purposes. I currently do this for outbound email by having the MTA authenticate against a SASL database during the initial SMTP connection (STARTTLS).
