--exec-mail is no longer needed. If you want for example start a imap session, just enter the command: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap And you will see:

Right. Although now that you mentioned it .. Maybe there should be -u parameter also for imap/pop3/etc which also does a userdb lookup so that it'll then be identical to actually logging in.
Let's say I trigger an ACL change by manually setting an administrative user (a permission). Doing so the 'dovecot-acl' file gets owned by the system user who triggered the change, in this case 'root'. Is this intended, as it will break the files OS permissions?
IMHO, I interprete it as "post AUTH" IMAP, meaning the process after auth had taken place. The user id had been changed earlier in the Dovecot process, hence, you need to su before.
