You would save yourself a lot of trouble, and the results would be more
accurate, if you simply provided output from the postfinger tool. This
can be found at http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger. This pertains to
Postfix obviously.

For dovecot, the usually excepted method is to use "dovecot -n". You
can pipe the output to a file so you can share it.
