Hi,

I've taken over administration of a mail server that uses postfix, dovecot and maildrop at the moment. There has been a lot of customising done to the system so I'd rather not have to change it too much.

At the moment we have a single mail store directory and a maildroprc that includes the mail store hardcoded into it. I'm changing the system so that there are two mail store directories, the only way I can see to do it would be to have a call to the mysql client from the maildroprc file to determine which store should be used for each delivery. Is there a more elegant way to get maildrop to use the database for the location of the users maildir?

you can run authdaemon (if not already) and let maildrop use it. this assumes that maildrop is built with authlib support. authdaemon can get the maildir from mysql.

I'm running: Gentoo 2.6.18-hardened x86_64 Postfix 2.2.10 Dovecot 1.0.9 maildrop 2.0.2-r1 (Not sure if that would make any difference to maildrops fuctionality.)

I'm also setting up a new server which I'll probably use a similar setup on, but that will be running Ubuntu 7.10 so I'm not sure exactly what versions would come packaged with that.
