Thanks-- now fixed.

Also fixed. Not sure how that one slipped by.
(Thinking of which, there should probably be a timeout in
reading passphrases. I suspect I'm the only person who
actually uses key passphrases anyway, given the number of
programs which don't support a -P type option....)

Umm.... I remember this behaviour, but I think it's now
been removed. Certainly looking at auth_mysql.c there's no
longer an explicit check for a domain being present.
Obviously if you specify a query involving $(domain) it
won't be run if no domain is given.

Well, perl is a bit bigger than tpop3d ;)

Noted.

Hmm. At the moment the only effect is to generate a
warning when compiling maildir.c. Your suggestion is
noted.
