You can use any "Lookup database" as listed in http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase > Has anyone created setups where the passwd databases reside in the > individual users home directories? passdb passwd-file { passwd-file = /home/%u/dovecot.passwd } The performance might not be that great though since it'll have to open a lot of files. Also Dovecot never closes passwd files it has opened, so this method won't work if you have a lot of users (I guess a few hundred is still ok). > Is it possible to persuade dovecotpw to update the passwd databases > automatically.

Currently Dovecot is internally able to update passwords only in SQL database. But dovecotpw can't currently update even that. Maybe some day.
