[Dovecot] Maildir and Solaris UFS acls

[Tom Lieuallen]

thank you.  I believe I have found a workable solution for now.  I am 
using acls within the cur/new/tmp directories of queue1.  group2 can't 
get in the front door of that maildir folder, so those file system acls 
don't hurt anything.

I guess acls got me into this mess, so they should get me out of it too. :-)

thank you
