Hi,

I'm trying to disallow the creating of subfolders for some special folder
for all users. Using ACL plugin for this seems to work at first glance but
is not a full solution or is buggy as it allows the creation of
sub-subfolders.

I'm using the following ACL and namespace separator is "/":

$ cat folder
owner lrwstie

Note: no "k" permission
      ("k" = create = Mailboxes can be created under this mailbox)

Seems to work:

    a001 create "folder/subfolder"
    a001 NO Permission denied

But:

    a002 create "folder/subfolder/subsubfolder"
    a002 OK Create completed.

This is unexpected. Creating a subfolder is not allowed but a sub-subfolder
is permitted? If this is intentional, the description in the wiki should
mention this. And: How to disallow the creation of any subfolders and any
sub-subfolders?

Using "folder/.DEFAULT" instead of "folder" to define the ACL does not make
any difference for the behavior.

My configuration of dovecot is below the signature.

Thanks, Heiko.
