However,  if you use its SASL, that's not entirely true if you're
relying on normal message injection methods (smtpd), postfix will bail.

/etc/rc.d/rc.dovecot stop
Stopping dovecot POP3/IMAP daemon...  Done.
Stopping IMAP Proxy...  Done.

telnet 10.10.0.10 25
Trying 10.10.0.10...
Connected to mx3.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

postfix/smtpd[386]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms

But this I feel is (if it can be really called an error at all)
postfix's failure, not Dovecots.
