dovecot - Jan 2018 - Get parts from username variable

Hi Guys,

When I have a username like foo-bar-candy can I get/seperate foo, bar
and candy as single variables for my storagepath of the usermail ?

Thanks,

Matt

The new lua auth backend is probably easiest for this. Dovecot variable
manipulation has no separator handling. Or alternatively some dict based
script backend.

If there aren't any @ characters, I think you can kludge this by converting
'-' into '@':

auth_username_translation = -@

Then you can use %{username}, %{domain_first} and %{domain_last}
