Quoting Odhiambo WASHINGTON:
You can do just that with dovecot, see http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting It's not very good performance-wise, because you spawn extra processes for each login, but it depends on your setup/use-case how much it affects you.
That's worth noting, but...
What about getting notices out to those folks whose IMAP client stays connected (sometimes for days on end)?
You could always kill all their connections. Most clients will reconnect and in an emergency I'd imagine it would outweigh any inconvenience to your users.
Good point, although it would still be nice to have something integrated into Dovecot to handle "alert" messages.
