I have switched to global ACLs for public namespaces which eases their
administration greately. Now while running housekeeping scripts (e.g. expunge
old mails/archive mails etc.) this requires temporary overriding the global ACLs
with mailbox specifix ACLs to expunge mails. The scripts would then revoke the
temporary changes (delete flags) and the global ACL would take precedence again.
Ideally I would want to get rid of the 'dovecot-acl' file after the
scripts ran so the global ACL kicks in. There seems to be no interface command
to purge 'dovecot-acl' files so this is handled by the scripts for now:
[...]
# Get actual path of dovecot-acl file and remove it as it is handled by global
ACL
acl_path=$(doveadm acl debug -u $mailbox_owner
"$source_mailbox_base/$1" 2>&1 | sed -n
"s/\(.*\)$debug_acl_mailbox_path//p")
[ -f $acl_path/dovecot-acl ] && rm $acl_path/dovecot-acl
It would be nice if purging a specific dovecot-acl would be handled by doveadm
to avoid custom-scripting.
Regards
Thomas
