Variables
=========

You can use special variables in several places:

 * <mail_location> [MailLocation.txt] setting and <namespace> [Namespaces.txt]
   locations
 * <static userdb> [UserDatabase.Static.txt] and <passwd-file userdb>
   [AuthDatabase.PasswdFile.txt] template strings
 * <LDAP> [AuthDatabase.LDAP.txt] and <SQL> [AuthDatabase.SQL.txt] userdb query
   strings
 * log prefix for imap/pop3 process
 * <Plugin> [Plugins.txt] settings

The variables that work (almost) everywhere are:

 *
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| *Variable* | *Long    | *Description*                                       |
|            | name*    |                                                     |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| %%         |          | '%' character. See <SharedMailboxes.Shared.txt> for |
|            |          | further information about %% variables              |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| %u         | user     | full username (e.g. user@domain)                    |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| %n         | username | user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no  |
|            |          | domain                                              |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| %d         | domain   | domain part in user@domain, empty if user there's no|
|            |          | domain                                              |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| %s         | service  | imap, pop3, smtp, lda (and doveadm, dsync, etc.)    |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| %p         | pid      | PID of the current process (login or imap/pop3      |
|            |          | process)                                            |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| %l         | lip      | local IP address                                    |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| %r         | rip      | remote IP address                                   |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
|            | session  | session ID for this client connection (unique for 9 |
|            |          | years) (v2.1.6+)                                    |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+

These variables work almost everywhere else except in Dovecot-auth (userdb
queries/templates):

 *
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+

+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| %h         | home     | home directory. Use of ~/ is better whenever        |
|            |          | possible.                                           |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| %i         | uid      | UNIX UID of the user                                |

|            | gid      | UNIX group identifier of the user (v2.0.17+)        |
+------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+

These variables work only in Dovecot-auth and 'login_log_format_elements'
setting:

 * Long variable names can be used like '%{long_name} ' or with L modifier:
   '%L{long_name}'.
 * Environment variables can be accessed with '%{env:ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE} '.
 * Additionally, the (self-explanatory) variables '%{pid} ' and '%{hostname} '
   are available.

Modifiers
---------

You can apply a modifiers for each variable (e.g. %Us = POP3):

 * %L - lowercase
 * %U - uppercase
 * %E - escape '"', "'" and '\' characters by inserting '\' before them. Note
   that variables in SQL queries are automatically escaped, you don't need to
   use this modifier for them.
 * %X - parse the variable as a base-10 number, and convert it to base-16
   (hexadecimal)
 * %R - reverse the string
 * %H - take a 32bit hash of the variable and return it as hex. You can also
   limit the hash value. For example %256Hu gives values 0..ff. You might want
   padding also, so %2.256Hu gives 00..ff. This can be useful for example in
   dividing users automatically to multiple partitions.
    * %H hash function is a bit bad if all the strings end with the same text,
      so if you're hashing usernames being in user@domain form, you probably
      want to reverse the username to get better hash value variety, e.g.
      %3RHu.
 * %N - "New hash" - same as %H, but based on MD5 to give better distribution
   of values (no need for any string reversing kludges either). (v2.2.3+)
 * %M - return the string's MD5 sum as hex.
 * %D - return "sub.domain.org" as "sub,dc=domain,dc=org" (for LDAP queries)
 * %T - Trim trailing whitespace

You can take a substring of the variable by giving optional offset followed by
'.' and width after the '%' character. For example %2u gives first two
characters of the username. %2.1u gives third character of the username.

If the offset is negative, it counts from the end, for example %-2.2i gives the
UID mod 100 (last two characters of the UID printed in a string). If a positive
offset points outside the value, empty string is returned, if a negative offset
does then the string is taken from the start.

If the width is prefixed with zero, the string isn't truncated, but only padded
with '0' character if the string is shorter. For example %04i may return
"0001", "1000" and "12345". %1.04i for the same string would return "001",
"000" and "2345".

The modifiers are applied from left-to-right order, except the substring is
always taken from the final string.
