Hi,
People here and on IRC have been asking several times if there was a way
to share a user database with Dovecot.
This could only be done if Dovecot was configured to use ldap/sql lookup
since we didn't support lookups in passwd-style flat files.
Starting with the next snapshot, table_passwd will be introduced so that
you can use passwd-style files for both authentication and users lookups
in OpenSMTPD.
You will be able to create files with the following format:
user:encryptedpasswd:uid:gid:gecos:/home/path:/shell
and reference them from smtpd.conf using:
table mytable passwd:/etc/mail/mypasswdfile
Of course, you can use different passwd files for authentication and for
local users.
I encourage you to test and report issues as I suspect it will be used a
lot given how many times it was requested ;-)
