It will work, we do this to set the maildir location to a custom hashed 
directory and muck around with the namespaces a bit.

The script is in perl - the relevant parts look like this.

#set user's maildir location for dovecot
$ENV{'MAIL'} = 'maildir:' . getmaildir($ENV{'USER'});
$ENV{'USERDB_KEYS'} .= 'MAIL';

#pass along to dovecot's next process
exec { $ARGV[0] } @ARGV;
