Bug 343619 – mail-filter/maildrop with dovecot authentication extension

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description James Young 2010-11-01 03:32:16 UTC]

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.

This is the dovecot patch

Though the filename says 2.3.0, it does work for the versions mentioned previously.

This is the dovecot authentication patch

I decided to use the original filename from the website.  I guess it can be renamed if desired.

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.

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.
