I'm trying to extend the configuration of vchkpw-wrapper.sh script by adding the expire plugin as follows: .. /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test
The problem is that vchkpw-wrapper.sh is now run only when user is authenticating. expire-tool doesn't authenticate, it only does userdb lookup. So you'll need to have the script run for userdb lookups too:
passdb checkpassword { .. } userdb prefetch { } userdb checkpassword { args = /usr/local/bin/userdb.sh }
Then create /usr/local/bin/userdb.sh which does more or less what the vchkpw-wrapper.sh does, except since it doesn't call vchkpw itself, it'll need to get the username from $USER instead of $VPOPUSER.
http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword#Checkpassword_as_userdb explains this extension.
