wouldn't it be better to use a syntax similar to other doveadm commands,

doveadm auth test -u <user> -p [<pass>]

This will allow you to syntactically distinguish "commands" from "arguments".
Otherwise you might run into the same "kludgy" syntax problem again, as soon
as the number of subcommands changes.
The problem was with the "auth" toplevel command not having subcommands. I don't think there
are going to be any problems with subcommands. Also there are many commands already that take
<user> without the -u parameter. Actually it's only the "mail commands" that take -u
parameter at all.
Another potential problem is "doveadm user" command. I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to move it to
"doveadm auth user" or "doveadm auth userdb" command. There should be also a similar "doveadm
auth passdb" command that does a passdb lookup without authentication.
Other command it could be usefull is to remove a temporal user-server
association in director. For example, I had a downtime in one server, so
users normally directed to this server is now been directed to other.
Now I want a user to get back to his normal server (force it, I know we
willl get back after a timeout), but I don't want to flush all user
connections to the backup server.
