I just barely finished adding that if statement before you replied. You're right though. Best not to play with the default for that. Thanks.

I've started going down the path of the mail_executable script, but I've run into a snag. I have a script that works fine and inserts rows into the database as wanted, but whenever I restart the Dovecot service it inserts a row into the database with the USER variable set to "dump-capability" using the IMAP mail_executable. This doesn't happen with the pop3 mail_executable.
Below is my configuration for Dovecot 1.1.7. I'm assuming that the mail_executable(default) value is being run whenever Dovecot restarts. How do I prevent this from happening? Can I set the default to an empty string?
How about you just add a if ! [ $USER = dump-capability ]; then do your stuff; fi
You could prevent Dovecot from calling it by manually setting imap_capability setting, but I don't really recommend it since you'll probably forget to update it when upgrading to a new Dovecot version..
