Quoting Marilyn Davis:
if this isn't possible, I'll go tarball. To use the LDA, AFAIK you'll have to go CVS. Going CVS, can we build and install dovecot-lda and keep the dovecot executable the way it is? Or do we have to rebuild the dovecot executable from the CVS tree too?
I don't really know about the current status of LDA, but as it uses parts of lda you should at least compile with current CVS' dovecot, but perhaps you don't have to use it.
I'm under the impression that the lda is currently basically a proof-of-concept implementation, I wouldn't use it on a production server (and the current CVS does not even compile here).
Oh. That's interesting. OK. I'll back up. I have my own edges to bleed on.
Exim allows a conversation to a socket from the configuration file, so it would be even better to talk directly to a socket into dovecot for delivering, rather than via a shell. Then I could talk to dovecot via my python code too.
But cool. We'll wait and continue to dance around the imap server.
Thank you for the scoop.
