The only way currently would be to create a new plugin that executes the script. But I added some new code that would make it possible with post-login scripts: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/9ef23179892a

With this you could configure your userdb for example:

userdb {
  ..
  default_fields = mail_pid=%{session_pid}
}

Now in your post-login script you’ll have MAIL_PID environment containing the PID.
