[Dovecot] Maildir and Solaris UFS acls

I have a centrally located shared imap folder location. We have several
maildir folders with different file system permissions. They are for
several groups of people who are loosely related for support purposes.
All mail gets delivered to queue1 just fine. The files are group
writable by group1. Some of the mail gets moved via imap to queue2.
Queue2's maildir tree is configured with Solaris UFS acls such that any
new files are read/write by group1 or group2. If a new file is created
within queue2 anywhere, it has the correct permissions.
However, if a message is moved from queue1 to queue2, it retains the
permissions that it had within queue1. This is what happens if I use
'mv' within the file system, btw.
Is there any way to configure dovecot such that if a person moves or
copies a message to another imap folder, it creates a new file instead
of doing a link or mv or whatever? If not, no problem; I was just
hoping for an elegant solution to my particular problem. :-)
queue1 - read/write by group1
queue2 - read/write by group1 & group2 through solaris ACLs
BTW, if any file whatsoever in queue2 is not readable by group2, those
in group2 cannot read _anything_ in queue2.
thanks
