Have you checked out Dovecot's own LDA?
No, but I just did, and it looks like exactly what I need... except that it doesn't support passwd-file auth. Or am I missing that?
erm... it's not the place of the LDA to check the user's password. Why would you want to check their password for mail being delivered _to_ them?
The website documentation on this matter is noticeably outdated.
Although it's been around for a while now, it's still considered quite new in Dovecot, so this isn't entirely surprising. Perhaps you'd like to contribute your findings and tips once you're set up?
Do you, by chance, have your mail partition mounted 'noatime'?
No, but I think that my indexing problem is that my self-made LDA/MDA is not following maildir spec in file naming and construction. I'd prefer to use deliver if I could.
Ah, well... yes, I can see that could cause problems :)
Certainly, I'd go with Dovecot's own LDA instead of rolling your own. Then you know it makes filenames the way Dovecot likes, and get the bonus of updated indexes.
Can't wait until I get the chance to move to 1.0 (am still running 0.99 here :/ ) ... deliver, shared folders, oh the bliss! :)
