It would be nice if there were a wiki page specifically describing

Even better would be a dovecot/doveconf command that would test the
permissions and, if possible, even fix them (like the postfix
'set-permissions' command)...
The problem with those is that it depends on the installation. Each
user may need different permissions. Many installations don't have a
way to list users to even do a userdb lookup. I guess it would be
possible to write such a tool for specific installations where it
could work, but it wouldn't work everywhere.
Hmmm... I wonder how postfix does it then... maybe it doesn't have as
many potential variations I guess?
Is there maybe just a basic/standard set of permissions that can work
for many installations, then have a way to detect non-standard installs
and just provide a link to a wiki page describing things in more detail?
Is there a wiki page for this already? I didn't find one...
