Hello,
I noticed there are ways to instruct various dovecot processes to
preserve particular environment variables.
One way is to use import_environment in dovecot.conf and yet another is
to export DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS variable ? both can contain space
delimited list of variables to preserve.
I found report that this is supposed to work for dsync:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-October/138659.html
Unfortunately I can't it to work for "doveadm quota recalc".
Is it supposed to work or am I doing something wrong?
I did strace on the doveadm process and noticed it does exec() doveconf
which in turn does exec() doveadm again. If I replace doveconf with a
shell script which exports my environment variables then they become
available to doveadm:
# cat /dovecot/bin/doveconf.wrapper
#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD='dovecot-preload.so'
exec /dovecot/bin/doveconf.orig "$@"
