Hi,

I'm looking to replace our current qmail-local with maildrop, but I find that maildrop is currently geared towards looking up information independently via ldap, mysql or getpw*().

If I had a patch developed to replace qmail-local directly (seeing qmail already does this lookup) how easilly would this patch be accepted into the mainline release?

I'd oppose the inclusion. I wouldn't want maildrop infested with MTA-specific code.

These user lookups only take a minor part of the processing, it's _way_ more expensive to actually deliver the mail (if it's not, your configuration is hosed or you're delivering into RAM disk).

What prevents you from teaching your /var/qmail/rc to use maildrop?
