Re: Is possible to override Dovecot variables or Sieve env vars and extdata lookups

Are the dovecot environment variables mutable? I'd like to override like:

set "${env.vnd.dovecot.username}" "someuser@example.org"

Or better, I prefer to override %u Dovecot variable during the userdb lookup.

Is either possible?

PS, when Sieve does extdata lookups for username key, where does username come from? %u?  Does an override as above change the dict lookup key for extdata?

You could override the %u variable, but overriding it in userdb will have surprising consequences. Basically this amounts to same as changing username for the user. So don't. Please set some other thing like, my_special_var=something in userdb, then you should be able to access it as env.vnd.dovecot.my_special_var
