What about something more exotic, like dovefix ;) and in the description
you can say what it's for.

Or because dovecot/amavis is kinda integrated in postfix (like dovecot
doing the delivery/auth for postfix, that's a big part of mail
delivery), it could be something with -integrate .

IMHO mail-stack-auth is too generic for a package name. It should at
least contain "dovecot", or "postfix", or as above suggested, both ;)
because it's not really related to sendmail/exim/courier*.
