Ok.
#1. deliver won't run as root. This is fine for us I belive, unless you
want to test from the command line as root :/
#2. Once I figured out how to become vpopmail and run commands, simply
doing (I was running csh on FreeBSD):
%set home = /home/vpopmail/domains/havokmon.com/rick/
%
cat
/home/vpopmail/domains/havokmon.com/rick/Maildir/cur/1236788062.63198.mx.vfemail.net,S=2092:2,S
| /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
Delivered a brand new copy of an existing email into my Inbox.
I think it'll work just dandy if vdelivermail set's the HOME variable
and writes the email to stdout.
I assume this would be a compile time option? Or how about one of those
fancy, "if the program is called as 'x' do x, otherwise do y" filename
checks?
I attached a patch, but I think testing this is going to be a pita
unless someone has some sort of shell 'vdelivermail' tester ?
Oh - and I'm not sure what the best way is to 'chomp' /Maildir off the
maildir variable.. I'm just a hacker.
