A good practice would be to use  postfix --> dovecot/sasl --> pam -->
backend server and do the uid vetting in the dovecot pam configuration

Dovecot itself can reject uid < 500. Just set first_valid_uid = 500 and 
first_valid_gid = 500.

Is that in the part of dovecot that 'does dovecot' or is that also in 
the part of dovecot that 'does SASL'
