Hello,
One of the less friendly lists I am on is the Postfix list, but one of the features that Postfix has, and the use of which is required when asking for help on their list, is a command called 'postconf', which simply dumps the current configuration parameters into a neat, orderly output that you can then cut-n-paste into an email request for help. The postfix guys won't even try to address a problem without this output (as opposed to snippets from config files), combined with log snippets of the failing behavior (as opposed to bounced message text, or 'it don't work' comments).
So, what I'd like to see is something similar - a command that I can issue that will cause Dovecot to dump all of the configuration parameters it is currently using in a neat, orderly arrangement.
This would dramatically help individual users in troubleshooting their own problems, as well as help people on this list help others. It would totally eliminate all of the 'what is xys set to' questions back and forth.
But I'm more interested in how it will simply help me to see how I have it configured, and allow me to easily spot conflicting or misconfigured parameters.
