Thanks Timo, I'll do this in the morning when no one is here...

Hmmm... can this be enabled for this a couple of users (those that I've 
noticed this happening to)? The wiki says that it works 'by checking if 
dovecot.rawlog/ directory exists in the logged in user's home 
directory'... so, does this mean I would just need to make sure I only 
had that directory for the users I wanted to monitor? Or would I get 
lots of errors for all of the users that*didn't* have this directory?
