Please advise: Can I override the user parameter in solr indexing and searching? To understand, why I wish for that, please consider my setup: # Mail is fetched from a remote imap server # dovecot LDA stores into Maildir as system user # Several virtual users exist in a static userdb # They all share the system users Maildir # everybody can see, move, delete etc. all the mails # dovecot mail_log plugin is used for audit So it is like all/only shared folders, isn't it? A cheap groupware, maybe? This works exceptionally well (2.0 and 2.2.11 as of now). The problem: When e-mails are indexed by solr, the uid of the virtual user is passed on, and only this user will later find that mail in a server side body search. I tried and made "user" an ignored field in solr schema, but then nothing will ever be found, because it is dropped when indexing, but will be asked for in searching. So far, what I learned in a day. Maybe someone can help? Thank You in advance -- peter

I guess, I will not get that, if not compiling from source? What else can I wish for? -- peter

Use the new %{auth_user} variable in v2.2.11+ for logging the unchanged username in login_log_format_elements and mail_log_prefix instead of using %u.
