However, one goal was to also expose this functionality in the smtps
and submission services, where the login syntax is not constrained by
UNIX password-file rules.
The specific form "uid:u...@example.com" won't collide with
"uid:[0-9]+", but other forms could. Perhaps we should make the
prefix for numerical UIDs configurable.
