Koen,

wow!  I think saslauthd is a different thing than dovecot auth, which is why 
you were having problems.  I was going to try to get a start at a 
dovecot-auth module, but it looks like you've already done most of the work.  
Thanks!  :)

For Dovecot, dovecot-auth is a much better way to do things than all the 
plugins.  It seems like it might be able to replace all *three* plugins, 
which would mean no configuration for most pysieved users.

If someone can do the hard work of finding out what string to send to 
dovecot-auth in order to get username, home directory, uid and gid, I can 
whip together a new module.  It may require reworking the pysieved 
architecture a little bit to do all three things in one place.

If we find a way to do everything in one place, would anybody still prefer to 
use the separate modules?  If nobody has a need for this the whole program 
could get a whole lot smaller :)
