That was the primary reason for using postfix with dovecot. Years
back, I tried to get both sendmail and postfix working with SMTP AUTH

postfix and dovecot for SMTP AUTH is a welcome change.
I think the main trick is in writing scripts that generate all
databases
from a single main file. This is fairly easy using perl, awk, ....
Of course, this becomes a hundred times more difficult the moment user
administration is not done centrally.
This is exactly why I have hesitated to move to a system based on
postfix and dovecot for my main ISP mail server. I would still like
to do it that way but it definitely brings up some other issues with
easy user administration. My staff needs to be able to add accounts
easily and unfortunately, the command line is not that easy for them.
If I did all of the user administration all the time it would be a
non-issue but that is not practical.
