Dovecot can use authentication with non-system users too.

See /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README. As the aim should be to just have 1 single auth backend and not auth data in different places, the combination of Sendmail and Dovecot could lead to the decision to configure authentication for Dovecot with one of the ways it offers and then to change the saslauthd to use RIMAP instead of SHADOW (/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd). Sendmail's default configuration uses the saslauthd. > Bob...
