So a feature (I didn't need) not a bug.

Perhaps I went over the top with paranoid:
chmod go-rwxst -R /export/home/???/Maildir
chgrp bgcuser -R /export/home/???/Maildir

This took a while on NAS.

Once I managed to get users to disconnect and reconnect the
problem went away. They were using the FD for their open Maildir.

The group mailusers was legacy that we never implemented on LDAP.
However, It did not effect dovecot 1.0 from lenny.
It was going to be used as exim4 ACL to filter RCPT as not all
LDAP users use email.

May get tagged wontfix or closed by Debian <jaldhar-dovecot>.

Would be nice if shared mailboxes could just use mode 03771.
