+Nodelay extra field
+===================
+
+If the authentication fails, Dovecot typically waits 0-2 seconds before sending
+back the "authentication failed" reply. If this field is set, no such delay is
+done. This is commonly used with <proxying>
+[PasswordDatabase.ExtraFields.Proxy.txt] and <login referrals>
+[PasswordDatabase.ExtraFields.Host.txt].
+
+Note that if PAM is used as the passdb, it adds an extra delay which can't be
+removed.
