[Dovecot] LDA Wishlist idea
Hi all,
Sorry if this is out of place, but I've seen people suggesting future functionality for Dovecot on here before.
TBH I'm not completely sure if this would be possible in a LDA.
Demon (an ISP) have extensions to POP3 they call "SDPS" - there's basically an extra command that can be called for an email and it gives the envelope rcpt and from addresses. I was wondering if there was any chance of future versions of Dovecot allowing something similar?
Many thanks,

As demon says, SDPS works by accessing "the same mail spools as are used by SMTP". Dovecot does not do this. And I don't see a need for that. Configure your MTA to put the envelope data into the mail header (e.g. Return-path and Envelope-to). I used this several times for multidrop-mailboxes (which also seems to be the main use of SDPS).
