Package: maildrop
Version: 2.0.4-3+lenny3
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
Currently, if we want a Postfix setup with quota support working and that,
without recompiling, maildrop is a good solution.
However, maildrop only support the Courier software (as it is shipped within
Debian) but patches [0] for Dovecot authentication exists.
If you want enterprise class quota support (I mean, for instance, Dovecot can
deliver quota informations to Thunderbord what courier can't)
without recompiling softwares maildrop with Dovecot might be a good solution, I
found.
With that, we could support quota out of the box with quota informations in
your email client.
Could you please apply that patch to the Debian maildrop version ?
Thanks and regards,
Henry-Nicolas Tourneur

I am going to close this bug report as it was previously tagged wontfix and I
don’t think that situation is going to change.
