Hello,
playing around with Dovecot's v1.2 ACLs I wondered about some things about
the dovecot-acl files:
+ They are created within the Maildirs, as described in
http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL.
But why? Shouldn't they belong to the CONTROL= directories? So it is more
compatible with filesystem quota.
+ They have 0666 permissions, but all other files (e.g. when I create a
new mailbox) have 0660 permissions.
Are the permissions selected explicitly to allow "a"-right for other
(system) users?
+ When one removes all rights, the size of the file drops to zero. The
wasted space is no great deal; but how much processing is wasted if such
file is present? I mean, the log says that the files are opened very
regularily. Would it help to remove zero-size files?
Regards,
