If I use the expect driver, the webpage always states that the update was
succesful, even if I entered a wrong password or a too short new
password.

I used the following lines in backends.php to get the script running with
sudo:
------
$backends['sudo_passwd'] = array(
    'name' => 'Webmail',
    'preferred' => '',
    'password policy' => array(),
    'driver' => 'procopen',
    'params' => array(
        'program' => '/usr/bin/expect ' . dirname(__FILE__) .
'/../scripts/passwd_expect -sudo'
    )
);
