Maybe for > that. :) While we're on the subject, and since you're already working on a (total?) rewrite of the config handling... ;) To continue to borrow from postfix, how about adding some additional parameters - or at least coding to allow for their addition later if it is a lot of work now? Suggestions: Change command from 'dovecot -n[d][a]' to 'doveconf -n[d][a]' etc... Allow config parameters to be added/edited via the commandline ala postfix, for example: doveconf -e "mail_executable=/usr/libexec/dovecot/imap" would edit (-e) the config file and add this parameter setting doveconf mail_executable would show the current setting for mail_executable etc... Obviously, I like the way postfix works... :) -- Best regards, Charles
