From the dovecot wiki: A patch for maildrop that would allow it to perform user lookups directly against Dovecot in a similar way how they are done by Dovecot's LDA deliver depending on used version of maildrop is available at the following locations: maildrop patch 2.0.4 - http://www.max.rs/ozone/maildrop-2.0.4-dovecotauth.patch.txt 2.1.0 - http://www.max.rs/ozone/maildrop-2.1.0-dovecotauth.patch.txt 2.2.0 - http://www.max.rs/ozone/maildrop-2.2.0-dovecotauth.patch.txt 2.3.0, 2.4.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.2, 2.4.3, 2.5.0, 2.5.1 - http://www.max.rs/ozone/maildrop-2.3.0-dovecotauth.patch.txt I'm working on the e-build and will post as soon as it's done and working.
Created attachment 252735 [details, diff] This is the dovecot patch Though the filename says 2.3.0, it does work for the versions mentioned previously.
Created attachment 252737 [details] This is the dovecot authentication patch I decided to use the original filename from the website. I guess it can be renamed if desired.
Created attachment 252739 [details] The updated e-build. I added "r1" to prevent confusion I added a dovecot flag so that the patch is optional though it CAN run alongside courier-authlib.
Created attachment 252741 [details] The updated ebuild. I added "r1" to prevent confusion I added a dovecot flag so that the patch is optional though it CAN run alongside courier-authlib. This particular ebuild is untested as I don't have the ~x86 flag set on maildrop.
Sorry, I won't be adding random patches to maildrop. Upstream is the proper place for this patch.
