Happy Xmas,

when using a post-login procedure the "verbose_proctitle = yes" has no effect.

If it is feature then please explain else please fix the bug fi

I suppose you mean you modified mail_executable to point to your own script? In that case it's really a bug in your script. Or I suppose also a bug in Dovecot's documentation. Updated:

http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting

Note the added $* in

exec /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap $*

Thanks, now it works as desired.

But ... In http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting the example for "Last-login tracking" says

"Finally execute the imap/pop3 binary. If you use both, you'll need two scripts."

Is this a must?

My dovecot.conf currently contains

mail_executable = /usr/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/post-login imap and mail_executable = /usr/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/post-login pop3

And "post-login" reads

| #!/bin/bash | | PROTO=$1 | | # Set QUOTA_RULE from exim's quota table | ... | ... | export QUOTA_RULE | | exec -a "$PROTO [$USER $IP]" /usr/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/$PROTO

This works. "ps -ef" shows protocol, username and ip as if calling pop3/imap directly.
