Hello,

Sorry for "stealing" your thread but I'm experiencing 
some problems similar to yours. I need a custom 
post-login, which is written in perl language. This
script was working fine with "dovecot 1.0-test59". 
Now I updated to "dovecot 2.0.12" and it stopped 
working, it gives me the following error in my 
dovecot.log: 
"imap(myuser01): Info: Post-login script denied 
access to user myuser01"
Through some debugging I realized that is the 
"exec $@" that's not working has intended, so I've 
created two script, one written in bash and 
another in perl. 

Bash Script:
#!/bin/sh
exec "$@"

Perl Script
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
exec('"$@"');

The thing is, the Bash script works and the Perl 
one doesn't, it comes the error stated above...
I think the problem could be from perl, for 
forking the process, but still I can't figure 
it out. 

Any ideas? 

Thanks,
Fernando
