dovecot - Aug 2011 - Sieve and UserDB/SQL support

Hi,

I would like to know if plugins of sieve support UserDB/SQL backend.
For example, for the vacation plugin, is it possible to retrieve a 
field like "sieve_vacation_days", "sieve_vacation_reason",
and so on..
on user_query?

Or, there is a plan for implement this?

Thanks

Not really, especially not in the Sieve standard. There is a 
experimental plugin for something like that. It can use Dovecot 
dictionaries to retrieve external data. It is documented here:
