(does this really need to be set over and over or can the master process set it and have the environment inherited... it has been a long time since I did any coding related to environment variables accross forks, etc.)?
Environment is inherited, but Dovecot explicitly clears it at the startup of each process, so any unnecessary stuff gets dropped out. But it would be possible to add e.g. DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS that lists which environments variables should be preserved.
