Ah, I remember working on this a while back.  I saw that he was
attempting a rather atypical configuration that looked like it might be
pushing the envelope a bit on what dovecot supports (the documentation
is vague on if it is or isn't allowed), which is why I directed him
upstream.  I suspected it might be an unsupported feature that would
best be implemented there; and if it wasn't they could course correct
him.

already doing one of them and is really more interested in having the
feature added.

Unfortunately there's nothing we can feasibly do on our end towards
implementing that support for him.  Getting a patch SRU'd might also be
challenging since the setup requires LDAP and multiple domains; this is
one where we'd probably need the user to do the validation.
