We're running Tiger 10.4.11 here.

We run dovecot from launchd.  We unload dovecot, edit dovecot.conf  
and then attempt to reload.

launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/dovecot.imap.plist  and
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/dovecot.imap.plist

Nothing in mail.log but this in system.log...
