Re: LDA doing passdb queries ?

22 Aug 2016


      Sorry... I meant LDA - not LMTP.
More specifically ... the delivery happening during an LMTP session.
I'm trying something like this:
===================================================================
protocol !lda {
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = /etc/dovecot/accounts
}
userdb {
driver = static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/srv/vmail/%u mail=maildir:~
}
}
protocol lda {
#  passdb {
#    driver = static
#  }
userdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-auth.conf.ext
driver = dict
result_success = continue-ok
result_failure = return-fail
}
userdb {
driver = static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/srv/vmail/%u mail=maildir:~
}
}
The point being that delivery is done to an address which needs an
external userdb to rewrite the "user" value.
All other access (IMAP...) uses the defined accounts.
The above config won't do, since dovecot complains about a missing
passdb database (and that PLAIN needs one) ... even if there's no actual
authentication done during delivery.
It doesn't seem to work, since trying to do delivery via LMTP still
consults /etc/dovecot/accounts
