What I can think of now:

# proxy solr and cut off the +user part of the fq parameter
# this will still index any message multiple times due to different ids
# and will return a single message multiple times (if indexed so)

What I wish for: an extra field in passdb "solr_user". I guess, I will 
not get that, if not compiling from source… What else can I wish for?
