Would it be possible to specify an alternative mail_executable that wraps the imap/pop processes? I.e. something like: protocol imap { mail_executable = cgroup_wrapper.sh } cgroup_wrapper.sh: #!/bin/sh echo $$ > /cgroup/foo/bar/tasks exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap $* Is the privileges dropped before mail_executable is called, or is it done in the mail_executable itself?
