I recall Dovecot 1.0b7 spat the dummy when we tried to run it without
pop3/imap services, for SMTP auth. I was a bit bogged down at the time,
so we just configured it to run pop3, but listen on localhost only.
i.e. in dovecot.conf:
protocols = pop3
...
protocol pop3 {
listen = 127.0.0.1:110
...
}
Might be worth revisiting so we can do protocols = none.
