Actually that sounds bogus to me (-: There are lots of reasons for
changing banners, including to make them _more_ informative rather than
less. Especially when you run lots of servers (even more so if they are in
a cluster of some sort) it might be very helpful to include things like
the hostname, the build timestamp, and any of the normal tcpd and authd
variables.
I think on reflection the Exim example I gave is well ahead of what is
reasonable in courier, becuase Courier doesn't seem to be built for
replaceable config file items (Exim does full perl regexes with PCRE.)
But I wonder if a quick hack solution would be to have a line in main() in
imaplogin.c that looks a bit like the existing one for IMAPLOGINTAG:
const char *tag=getenv("IMAPLOGINTAG");
followed by existence checking etc. That way the code can stay untouched
and all people have to do is set yet another environment variable.
