If you use sql userdb, you can just add the insert command into the user_query.
How would I do that? I've tried with a colon, with a backslash-escaped colon, with two distinct lines.
I get ($variables my editing):
Error: auth(default): sql($mylogin,$myip): User query failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '\; SELECT maildir $etc...
With two distinct lines only the last is taken into account (unsurprisingly). I do need the select maildir that user_query corrently represents!
I used %i for IP, inspired by
http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2003-November/002554.htmland while I'm encouraged by the presence of my ip in the error message, i doesn't seem to be the right letter, it expands to the null string.
Anyway,
Another way that already works is to update mail_executable location to some script which does the SQL insertion and after that executes the real imap or pop3 binary.
That does work. For the record (until post_login comes!) this is how I did it:
dovecot.conf:
protocol pop3 { mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/popbsmtp.sh /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 } protocol imap { mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/popbsmtp.sh /usr/lib/dovecot/imap }
/usr/lib/dovecot/popbsmtp.sh:
#!/bin/sh
( echo "Login from $3" >> /var/log/dovecot3
IP=`echo $3 | sed 's/\]//'`
if [ -n "$IP" ]
then
echo popbsmtp logging $IP
export HOME=/root/
echo "replace into popbsmtp VALUES('$IP',now();" | mysql mail
export HOME=/
fi) >> /var/log/dovecot3 2>&1
exec $*
I edited out an ugly pipe in the IP= line that removes IPs from my own network who can relay anyway.
What took me most time was comprehending that even though I'd specified both
login_user = dovecot
and
auth default { user = dovecotauth }
mail_executable was executed 1) as root and 2) without a home directory, which made the mysql fail since I was relying on $HOME/.my.cnf.
But now that it works, it works well :-)
