[Dovecot] mail_executable's process environment
Hello, I recently had to get Dovecot 1.1.4 to write to a "pop3/imap-before- smtp" db such that my MTA could permit relay after a successful authentication with Dovecot. The 'pop3' and 'imap' processes are executed only after a successful auth, so replacing them with wrappers which write to the db seemed the natural choice. Lo and behold, someone thought of something like this, as the 'mail_executable' directive exists - neat. Upon inspection of the processes' environment I'm pleased to see that there's a load of useful information in there. However, one essential component in my case is the destination network address, which is missing. I added it with the attached patch, exposed as 'LOCAL_IP'. Works for me. Is this something that would be useful to anyone else? -Mike dovecot-1.1.4-local.ip.patch Description: Binary data

PopB4smtp is really insecure, and should be avoided if at all possible... so hopefully , it won't be useful to too many people... ;) I see this mechanic as not being specific to pop3/imap-before-smtp. I'm not sure in what other ways people use replacement imap/pop3 processes, but the destination address seems like a useful piece of information. You really should set up sasl/smtpauth and just deal with the one time pain of changing over... it will be worth it... In fact I have. Thanks for the suggestion! -Mike
