[Dovecot] Hooks API

[Boris Ivanov]

Thanks for the answer.

Hook API is usefull when u need to do some action on some events:
For example:  Hook on Event - AfterReceivingMail - send sms to user, start
antivirus, any processing of email (analyzing, modifying...)

But its simple case... I have at least 2 project where I need extend Dovecot
functionality. Its possible to write patches for source code but  would be
much better if it will be implemented officially so anyone can use it.

I didnt understand ur idea to be honest.... So its possible to run shell on
when IMAP command arrived? what about parameters? username, mailbox etc...?

Best Regards
Boris
