[Dovecot] whoson plugin for 2.0
I have found a plugin at
ftp://ftp.ufanet.ru/pub/boco/dovecot/whoson-plugin/
I was able to make it function on a dovecot 1.2.8 server, by changing __attr_unused__ to ATTR_UNUSED and strlcpy to i_strocpy (since glibc doesn't HAVE strlcpy, on purpose).
However, it doesn't work with 2.1
this is, of course, because getenv() no longer functions lie it used to in plugins.
so i need a replacement for getenv("IP") and getenv("USER") to make this work.
i know, pop before SMTP is stupid, but the isp i'm doing this for hs customers that have used pop before smtp for ages.
so I MUST make a whoson plugin.
as i said, the remote ip and the email address are required to interface with whoson. (this is superior to DRAC, which just opens the IP)

AFAIR: getenv was replaced by mail_user_plugin_getenv
,--[ lib-storage/mail-user.h ]-- | /* If name exists in plugin_envs, return its value. */ | const char *mail_user_plugin_getenv(struct mail_user *user, const char *name); `--

Ye, but it requires the user struct to be passed as a parameter, which this plugin doesn't even use.
Also, it seems the ip address is stored in a different format than used by the old getenv("IP") (which was a string)
I need to return both the IP and the email address as a string to drop it into the old code.
I attempted to use the drac plugin as a base (the new 2.0 compatible one) but i found the code hard to follow, and also DRAC seems to just use the IP, while whoson also uses the email address.

You could check the code of the doveadm who command
<http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Who>. It shows both, the user
name and the IP address.

That's not much better...
I just want the bare minimum of code to do this. The 1.x code was so simple, and i just want a 2.0 equivalent. is that so wrong? :) WHy the heck did they remove those incredibly useful environment variables anyway?

Because a single process can now handle multiple connections with different IPs/usernames.

Problem solved.
i finally found a working verion. i told the author to switch from strlcpy (which is not part of glibc) to i_strocpy (which dovecot provides). hopefulyl he will listen. if not, that's how to fix it.

someone update the 2.0 wiki link. :)
