that allows use of Dovecot's native sasl implementation as an authenticator, and that is _seems_ to apply against 4.63 ok, might it be possible to get this integrated into exim core, and have it become 'official'?
I have integrated this patch (it needed a little work - see ChangeLog). I have done extremely preliminary testing against Dovecot 1.0_beta8 and I think it is OK. The code will be in tonight's snapshot. If anybody who is actually running Dovecot would like to do some more serious testing, that would be good.
I mentioned this before too, but in case you didn't notice:
int auth_dovecot_server(auth_instance *ablock, uschar *data) .. fprintf(f, "VERSION\t%d\t%d\nCPID\t%d\n" "AUTH\t%d\t%s\tservice=smtp\trip=%s\tlip=%s\tresp=%s\n", VERSION_MAJOR, VERSION_MINOR, getpid(), cuid, ablock->public_name, sender_host_address, interface_address, data ? (char *) data : "");
Can data parameter contain tab characters? If it can, you should prevent them from going to dovecot-auth.
