From the wiki:
ACL groups support works by returning a comma-separated acl_groups extra field http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields from userdb, which contains all the groups the user belongs to. User's UNIX groups have no effect on ACLs (you can "enable" them by using a special post-login script http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting).
I've read that over several times - I still don't understand that. Are "ACL Groups" defined and managed by Dovecot - and described somewhere else in the docs - or are they UNIX groups that previously had no affect on mail access but by being listed in the "acl_groups" field they now have relevance?
That is a bit confusing. What it is trying to say: For one, you have acl_groups. For two, you have UNIX groups. They are not related at all. If you want them to be related, you can use a special post-login script.
Ok - so where are acl_groups, and their access, defined?
