[Dovecot] Dovecot - AllowGroups option

[Jacob Neergaard Pedersen]

Hi,
Found It :)

Here it is - very simple.

Add the group you wanna use to /etc/group
maigroup:x:1007:user1,user2,user3

Make a file listing the groups you wanna allow access from
echo "maigroup" > /etc/dovecot/group.allow

Add group authentication to dovecot pam setting in /etc/pam.d/dovecot
Add this line on the top of the file
auth required pam_listfile.so onerr=fail item=group sense=allow file=/etc/dovecot/group.allow

I hope I can safe other people the trouble.
