Hi,

I have searched the mail list archives and wasn't able to find an answer, so I'm hoping somebody can help me out.

I've been using Courier for IMAP/S and POP3/S access on my Postfix based MTA for the last couple of years. It works great, but I'm currently building a new system that has all user accounts, and aliases stored in Postgresql tables.

I am using Maildrop to handle the final delivery of the mail to the accounts, all of which are virtual. I want to set up an autoreply system that uses a value stored in a users table, but am having problems getting maildrop to see the variable.

In authpgsqlrc, I have:

PGSQL_AUXOPTIONS_FIELD 'autoreply=' || autoreply || ',disabled=' || disabled

This concats the autoreply and disabled field in the Postgresql table into a single field that Courier-authlib can parse. If autoreply is set to 1, I want maildrop to reply to the message and store the sender address so that the sender will only get a single automated response. I have found examples of how to do this using a file in the users account, but not from a database field.

My question is - how can I access the values returned in PGSQL_AUXOPTIONS_FIELD from maildroprc? I have tried import PGSQL_AUXOPTIONS_FIELD, import options, etc, etc and none print out the value of that field. Is there a way to do this without adding code to maildrop?

Thanks

Dave
