[Dovecot] Configuration file changes

[Farkas Levente]

so what I do not understand:
- what the "group" means? why not just a simple {} pair?
- until no there wasn't any king of grouping eg. what can I write inside 
a login {} part? what is the server part ? etc... it seems to me a 
config file can become a big mass.
- in the 1. case server a is a union of all group where "server a" 
appear or???

everybody else understand it and just I'm so stupid?
