Dovecot already internally filters out many mountpoints and filesystems that
are pretty much guaranteed not to contain any emails

i bet /sys/fs/cgroup will never contain any mail :-)

the bug is taht it also adds fuse-mountpoints where the dovecot
suer never ever has any access permissions and whines later
if they are unmounted

i see no reason for such magic

why does a mailserver touch any mountpoint where it is not
explicit configured to store mails?
