dovecot and vmailmgr/qmail mailboxes
...a "compromise" wrapper solution (attached). It does not require
patching dovecot
(external module) and it's thus (supposedly) durable across dovecot
releases; however,
it cannot help with the colon problem.
The wrapper works as follows:
1) compile and install:
# cc -O2 -Wall -o checkvpw-dovecot-wrapper checkvpw-dovecot-wrapper.c
# install -s -o root checkvpw-dovecot-wrapper /usr/local/bin
2) edit dovecot.conf, setup the auth section as follows:
============
auth default {
mechanism = plain
passdb checkpassword {
args = /usr/local/bin/checkvpw-dovecot-wrapper
}
userdb prefetc...

dovecot checkpassword passdb and vmailmgr
...erface
[ http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd/interface.html ] leaves room to
interpretation
when the scope is not system login. Vmailmgr and vpopmail, for
example, collapse many mail users on the same system account.
So, what "home" is here is not specified.
In the case of vmailmgr, it's "checkvpw" sets HOME to the system user's
home, and returns the path of the actual mail user differently.
The solution I applied for this problem is to generalize the process
that fetches authentication data (what currently is "checkpassword-
reply").
I was set up for a specific passdb-v...

dovecot and vmailmgr
hello
now that dovecot supports authentication with checkpassword-compatible
modules, I tried to get it working for IMAP on a qmail + vmailmgr
server.
For a subtle detail, while claiming to be "a drop-in replacement for
the standard
checkpassword", checkvpw (auth module for vmailmgr) is not "drop in".
It actually
expects 2 args on its command line, not 1. So, a wrapper is needed to
get it
authenticating correctly with dovecot; a very simple one
(argswrapper.c below).
This wrapper is not sufficient though. In fact, vmailmgr represents...
