custom mail_location detection for dovecot lda
Hi! Is it possible to do something like "post-login scripting" to detect and set a per-user custom mail location for dovecot LDA delivery? I tried to use a wrapper-script around dovecot-lda that sets the environment variables MAIL="..." and USERDB_KEYS="MAIL" just like overriding userdb fields may be done using imap postlogin scripts, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to be honored. (Also tried with dovecot-lda -k.) Woud be very useful for slow migration from one mailbox format to another. Is there any other way to supply a custom mail_location to dovecot-lda?

But it seems to be ignored. :-( I tried it with a .forward of: | "/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -omail_location=maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs" and postfix logs: ... status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -omail_location=maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs) ... but it still delivers to the default (mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u)> There is probably a better way using a userdb though.Per-user configuration with userdb is static, you have to configure the mailbox format for each user. However, if you'd like to give the user the ability to switch between mailbox formats, dynamic detection would be useful...
