Is there an easy way to have maildrop do MySQL lookups, using Debian packages? I'm happy to write a script that periodically dumps the relevant database fields into the userdb file, but if there is a cleaner way...

The current version of maildrop optionally uses courier-authlib, which is capable of talking to a MySQL server.
