Can Dovecot can handle separate authentication for receiving mail (IMAPS) and sending mail (SMTPS)? In the past, we used Dovecot IMAP for the receiving part and Cyrus SASL for the sending part. This allowed us to use two passwords with mail. Cyrus has grown too old and isn't useful anymore. Can Dovecot give us this functionality: two passwords, one for IMAP authentication and one for SASL authentication?
Dovecot is only an IMAP server, it does not support SMTP and is not used while sending e-mail.
Some SMTP servers can use Dovecot to authenticate users, but if you do not want that, just configure your SMTP accordingly.
