Here's what I'd like. Limited master users, where someone can be a
master users for some domains but not others. I think I could do what I
want with the right kinds of variable passing that doesn't yet exist.
Let me see if I can explain clearly.
From the example in the wiki:
auth_master_user_separator = *
passdb {
driver = sql
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-master.conf.ext
master = yes
pass = yes
}
passdb {
driver = sql
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
}
userdb {
driver = sql
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
}
Login looks like this:
# telnet localhost 143
* OK Dovecot ready.
1 login loginuser*masteruser masterpass
1 OK Logged in.
I'm assuming that the masteruser and masterpass is passed to the master
passdb and when doing so the variable %u is the master user. I assume
that %n and %d also represent the name and domain part of the master user.
What I need is to also be able to have variables for the loginuser
passed to the master user query. Something like %lu, %ln, and %ld
perhaps. That way with MySQL tricks I might be able to see if the master
user is master for that particular login user. That way I can give
domain owners or owners of multiple domains the ability to manage the
email accounts within their scope of permission.
