Description-en: secure POP3/IMAP server - Lua authentication plugin
Dovecot is a mail server whose major goals are security and extreme
reliability. It tries very hard to handle all error conditions and verify
that all data is valid, making it nearly impossible to crash. It supports
mbox/Maildir and its own dbox/mdbox formats, and should also be pretty
fast, extensible, and portable.
.
This package contains an authentication plugin allowing password and user
databases to be implemented in Lua.
