Re: [Dovecot] variable expansion in dovecot.conf?

hi timo,

thx for the reply =)

...

does dovecot.conf support the definition/use of user variables?

No, and I don't think it'd be worth the trouble. Nothing prevents you from generating dovecot.conf through some preprocessor though (eg. m4)

absolutely true ...

i just got 'used to' the ability to do so in other config files (e.g., Exim) and, naiively, i presumed too much here.

...

namespace private {
    ...
    location                 = $default_mail_env
    ...

default_mail_env is used there if you simply don't set location.

all clear now. thx again!
