Thanks Rick!
your patch is very helpful for me, also passes the HOME to
deliver is a good idea.
Another useful options, for delivery, will be to add the
"extension" via "-m mailbox" so dovecot will deliver the email
directly in this folder (if vpopmail is build with
enable-qmail-ext).
An email to alessio-vpopml@ will be delivery to the "vpopml" folder.
In the enviroment, what is the variable for the "extension"
(vpopml)?
There is none at the point deliver is called - by the time it gets
called, all the qmail-ext work has been done so the HOME directory
is the correct user's Maildir directory. 'deliver' just needs to
drop the email into that location and update the indexes. That's
what I was shooting for. Besides using qmail-ext, I still have
old vacation and forwards that I didn't want to worry about.
vdelivermail still handles all of that. I just wanted deliver to
update indexes on delivery.
I hadn't thought about it - but the version of Dovecot on my
front-end servers that do delivery is still in the 1.2 series. So
there may be some slight differences if you're running 2.0 deliver.

I'm using dovecot 2.1 with native auth-vpopmail. With 1.2 native
auth-vpopmail have some limits.
My idea is to run dovecot-lda like:
/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$HOST -m $Extension
where if original recipient is alessio-li...@cecchi.it Extension is
"lists", but in vpopmail environment how is called "Extension" (if
is present)?
I don't think that's right - according to the Dovecot Wiki -m is
Mailbox. Like INBOX or Trash, etc..
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA
Yes but, with Postfix for example, you can set:
/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${user}@${domain} -m ${extension}
so if you receive an email to rick-vch...@domain.com (or
rick+vch...@domain.com according to your recipient_delimiter) dovecot
will delivery the email in the Mailbox "vchkpw" and this is very useful.
I would like to reproduce this behavior with qmail.
Ahh I see what you mean. In qmail the "-ext" doesn't have a specific
destination, it's just a unique address. If you are going to assume
that "-blah" will be a specific mailbox, you could use the EXT2 variable.

Yeah, I've thought about that. However, I like keeping the development packages off my production machines and for that packages are usually the most convenient. Funny enough, I've tried my packages on another Debian machine now which had the dev packages installed and everything seems to work there. So, I suppose it's some kind of weird dependency problem.

Re: [vchkpw] dovecot LDA with vpopmail
I know one this has been something that's been batted around a few times now. Last I recall the developer (and I'm sorry, I can't remember his name off of the top of my head) was working on some custom modifications to vdelivermail. Unfortunately what is required is fairly complex. The pipe method while functional is potentially dangerous. Especially when you start considering nesting them. If something breaks in the middle, your mail is lost due to how error codes are handled between pipes. I think he was working with the actual file descriptors being passedbut I'll admit my memory is fuzzy, and it got beyond my understanding near the end. Just search the archives. The full thread should be there.

Dovecot IMAP
Dovecot will supply IMAP/SIMAP access.

Install:
cd /var/src

cd dovecot-1.1.4
./configure --with-vpopmail --without-pop3d \
--without-passwd --without-pam \

make install
Setup SSL certificate:
cd doc
Edit the file dovecot-openssl.conf and customize it for your site.
Your answers here should be nearly the same as the ones for the qmail
certificate except for the fact that this is used by the imap server and
the previous certificate is used by the mail server.
Create SSL certificate:

mkdir -p /etc/ssl/private
chmod 700 /etc/ssl/private

A Hey Everyone, I'm in the process of building out new mail servers. Currently we are running qmail, courier-imap, vpopmail on Ubuntu.

I've tried several different dovecot.conf files that people have posted and still can't get it to run. Does anyone have a dovecot.conf file that works. I'd greatly appreciate any help.

I'm using dovecot + vpopmail
using passdb vpopmail works but does not update lastauth
so I tried this:
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
# passdb vpopmail {
# }
# userdb vpopmail {
# }
user = vpopmail
passdb checkpassword {
args = /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
}
userdb static {
args = uid=89 gid=89 home=/home/vpopmail/domains/%d/%u
}
}
and lastauth is being updated

this has solved my quota display problem.

When you compiled dovecot did you include the CFLAGS option to enable vpopmail roaming users integration?
