local / remote blocks
=====================

Use 'local' and 'remote' blocks in this order:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
local 127.0.0.1 {
# next block is used only, if TLS SNI extension is used. It expands to the TLS
SNI hostname.
# Typically this is only used to configure per-host TLS certificates.
  local_name foo {
    remote 127.0.0.1 {
      protocol imap {
      }
    }
  }
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The protocol block is the innermost block always, you can leave some blocks
out.

Change a Setting
================

Typically you can change each setting in another block, like so:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
mail_plugins = quota
protocol imap {
  # overwrites a setting
  mail_location = mbox:~/mbox
  # adds other values to the setting
  mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This way, you can keep all settings for a feature, e.g. ACL in one .conf file.

Unfortunately, you cannot access variables from the plugin section, e.g.:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
plugin {
  sieve_plugins = extdata
}

# other file or later

plugin {
  # this won't work !!!
  sieve_plugins = $sieve_plugins extdata
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
