[Dovecot] Configuration Error

Hello,
I am a newbie when it comes to Dovecot, and in following this (
http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/ ) document in setting these
things up, I have run into an error that I am not quite certain what to
do...

I am running Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, and using 1.0.5 for Dovecot. The message I
am getting when I try to 'restart' Dovecot (using '/etc/init.d/dovecot
restart') is:

Error: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 505:
Protocol section not allowed here (section changed at line 505)
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
   ...fail!

Does this mean that I need to move this section of the configuration file to
a different spot in the file? All I did was uncomment these things, and make
the changes described in the link above, I would think that because this is
just an edited version of the configuration file, that something like this
shouldn't happen.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Mike
