Hello,
on my system, I have a copy of /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver located in /usr/libexec/dovecot/postfix-deliver/deliver (only accessible to postfix and with SUID root permissions). If I happen to forget to update this copy after an upgrade of dovecot, the deliver LDA bounces mails:
| Mar 22 20:29:20 host.example.org deliver(user@example.org): Module is for different version 1.0.rc27: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda/lib10_quota_plugin.so | Mar 22 20:29:20 host.example.org postfix/pipe[17344]: <ID>: to=user@example.org, relay=dovecot, delay=1.9, delays=1.5/0/0/0.35, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (Command died with status 89: "/usr/libexec/dovecot/postfix-deliver/deliver")
Should I just set version_ignore=yes and remember myself to upgrade it, or could deliver return a code signaling "temporary failure", or should I rather make postfix interpret 89 as temporary failure? (don't know by heart whether that's possible).
Regards, Milan
