Just happened to be surfing the docs and saw this. This is beyond awesome:

Any words of wisdom on using it? I'd be putting a bunch of mysql logic in
it. Any horrible gotchas there? When it says 'blocking', should I assume
that means that a auth worker process will *not* accept any new auth
lookups until both auth_passdb_lookup() and auth_userdb_lookup() have
completed (in which I'd be doing several mysql calls)? If that's the case,
I assume that the number of auth workers should be bumped up.
And is a 2.3 release fairly imminent?
Hi!
This feature was added very recently, and there is very little operational
experience on it. As the docs should say, blocking=yes means that an auth
worker is used, and yes, it will block each auth worker during authentication,
but what we tried, it should perform rather nicely.
The most important gotcha is to always test your lua code rigorously, because
there is not much we can do to save you.
It should be present in master branch, so if someone feels like trying it out,
please let us know if you find any bugs or strangeness. It's not present in
nightlies yet.
We are planning on releasing 2.3.0 this year.
The Xi package builder has this feature enabled since yesterday. It is
available in the dovecot-lua package; the first Xi package that doesn't
have an official Debian equivalent (yet anyway).
Regards,
Stephan.
