dovecot - Nov 2010 - Getting plugin config by user

There is a native way to set/get a configuration to one plugin, to various
users ?

Like this:

my_plugin{
      user_a=configurations
      user_b=configurations
      user_......
      user_z=configurations
}

I Have plugin and it can be enable/disabled by user. And i have a lot of
users, like 10 m.

i think if i do like this:

my_plugin {
    configurations=user_a,user_b,user....,user_z
}

Can get much memory to read every line of configuration...

Tks !

Return it from userdb:

Timo,

the SQL Backend for the ExtraField, have a cache ?

Or if 300 users connects to the IMAP 10 times, the backend will get 300 X 10
connections to the database ?

The extra fields come as part of the userdb lookup (by auth process)
that is done in any case. There is no separate extra fields lookup or
connections to database.
