[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.8 problem on AIX

[Stewart Dean]

Back when (5-6 ? years ago) I first put DC on our AIX mail server, I 
thought to put it in the inted.conf file, as was the old UWIMAP 
invocation.  But a) I had problems with that and b) people here informed 
me that it was much more efficient just to directly invoke it, so I put 
it in the /etc/rc.local file and it has <knock on wood> never failed to 
start and run cleanly.  So....this is an easy one with an easy answer.  :)
