From the wiki:
ACL groups support works by returning a comma-separated acl_groups extra
field <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields> from userdb,
which contains all the groups the user belongs to. User's UNIX groups
have no effect on ACLs (you can "enable" them by using a special
post-login script <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting>).
I've read that over several times - I still don't understand that. Are
"ACL Groups" defined and managed by Dovecot - and described somewhere
else in the docs - or are they UNIX groups that previously had no affect
on mail access but by being listed in the "acl_groups" field they now
have relevance?
That is a bit confusing. What it is trying to say:
For one, you have acl_groups.
For two, you have UNIX groups.
They are not related at all.
If you want them to be related, you can use a special post-login script.
Ok - so where are acl_groups, and their access, defined?
