dovecot - Mar 2009 - [Fwd: Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail now has vusage daemon support]

Is the index modification code portable that other software could link
to a Dovecot library and update indexes on delivery?

Is there a way to update Dovecot's indexes without having it handle
delivery?
In that case, we could easily add support for this into vpopmail.

You'd need to have it use the mail-storage API to save the mail. I guess
it would be possible to link all the necessary Dovecot libraries to
other programs too, but there might be some symbol collisions. Also just
getting all the .a libraries is kind of annoying, because it needs
compiled Dovecot sources. In future there will probably be something
like libdovecot.so and libdovecot-storage.so which can be linked more
easily.
