Well, the --exec-mail interface is going to work with future Dovecot
versions, but there are no guarantees about how the environment
variables will work. There are going to be at least some changes to them
in v1.3. But I guess it depends on how complex configuration you need,
at least the MAIL environment will work in future as well.
