[Dovecot] dovecot and AFS SOLVED

[Per-Erik Persson]

Well, what you describe would be the correct and security  aware way of 
doing it.

However since I am still testing i just did it the quick and dirty way.
By adding the IP of the server handling the maildeliveries to the group 
called mail-writers which has permissions on every users Maildir.
Something like "pts adduser 1.2.3.4 mail-writers" if I remeber correctly.
In theory this would decrease the load on the kdc and the afs server, 
but in practice I don't know if it would be possible to measure a 
difference.
