Or they modify it in /etc and wonder why Dovecot doesn't see the  
changes.

Then it would also have to keep checking when they change and copy..

Another kind of a problem is that it just makes the master process  
more complex again. I'd like this to wait until v2.0's master process  
rewrite. Then there could be a separate non-chrooted process that does  
tcpwrapper checks and perhaps some other checks.
