[Dovecot] Problems with masteruser

[Неворотин Вадим]

I've add

$ENV{'MASTER_USER'} = $ENV{'USER'};

to my postlogin-imap script, and it looks like that all is working, thank
you!!! I'll test it next week, but as I see ACL and base operations work, so
I think that all other works too))

But what does it mean when I return in master_user field current user's
name?))) As I understand it increase masteruser's rights to full control of
user's mailbox. But if I return in master_user not a current user name, but
something else?))) What master_user field control?))) (Sorry, I can't find
any information about this feature[?])
