[Dovecot] Obtaining the chroot-cage directory of the mailstore
Hello,
I'd like to find a function in the sourcecode which enables me to get the chroot-path of the mailstore, so I can concatenate it with the result of mail_storage_get_mailbox_path to get the full path of a mailbox within the filesystem.
Does such a function exist? Who can help me?
Thanks in advance. Stefan

What do you do with it since you're already inside chroot? Anyway you should be able to get it with getenv("RESTRICT_CHROOT").
Hello,
I try to access the files within the maildir-structure directly, because I want to store some files with status data there (I try to implement some experimental ACL stuff). So I thaught that I would need the root cage's path to access it in the file system. But I think you're surely right: I might not need the path , because... *hmm*
I will try this!!! Anyway: thanks for the "getenv"-command respectivly the parameter! :-)
Best regards Stefan
