doveadm−exec − easily execute commands from Dovecot's libexec_dir
doveadm [−Dv] exec binary [binary arguments]
This command allows administrators and local users to simply execute commands from within libexec_dir. So for example a logged in system user could start a pre−authenticated imap session, using the command: doveadm exec imap. An administrator would use the command: doveadm exec imap −u username.
