Whenever Dovecot sees a new mountpoint, it's added. If an old mountpoint doesn't exist at startup a warning is logged about it. Of course many of the mountpoints aren't intended for mail storage. They could be hidden from the "mount state" list by setting their state to "ignore". Dovecot could also skip some of the common known mountpoints, such as where type is proc/tmpfs/sysfs.

I wonder how automounts would work with this.. Probably rather randomly..
