[Dovecot] Post-login scripting with virtual users

[Mark Willcox]

Much closer!  It seems to run the script, but now I get:
Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/imap-postpop) failed:
Connection refused

I thought it might be because popuser has no logon capability
(/sbin/nologin), but I changed that and connection is still refused.

Can it be my script?  It is just:
#!/bin/bash
echo "$USER $IP `host $IP`" > /var/lib/postpop/db/$IP
exec "$@"

The IP-named file is not being created.  popuser owns the folder.

Also, when I get this working, can I set up a pop3 equivalent?
