+2. Right from the FHS section -
"/var/spool contains data which is awaiting some kind of later
processing. Data in /var/spool represents work to be done in the future
(by a program, user, or administrator); often data is deleted after it
has been processed."
Having a configuration parameter as well is always good - but make
/var/spool/dovecot the default.
