Should this paragraph be updated in the dovecot-example.conf?

   # /etc/passwd or similar, using getpwnam()

   userdb passwd {
   }

Maybe that should reflect the "set blocking=yes" statements from the 
wiki? Or doesn't this apply to userdb {} blocks? I'm a little confused 
if I should be setting blocking=yes for passdb, userdb, or both...

The example conf lists blocking=yes in the passdb {} blocks, but the 
Wiki specifically gives an example for a userdb{} block. Is blocking=yes 
applicable to both types of blocks? Should I be setting it both places?

Thanks,
