Re: [pysieved] Authentication problem

Hello Koen,

This looks useful...

I note from http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication_Protocol that the 
Dovecot authentication agent can also return the uid, gid and mail 
location fields - are you interested in hacking up something to get 
these too? (I don't know if I said, but I never coded any Python before 
yesterday when I wrote the htpasswd auth bit!).
