Hello,
I'm also running FreeBSD 11.1, Dovecot 2.3, and Pidgeonhole 0.5, I am not getting the error you are noticing. I also do have a symlinked /var/run/dovecot/dovecot.conf which goes to /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.
Can you send a complete doveconf -n and your dovecot startup lines in /etc/rc.conf?
Thanks. Dave.

I can send the entire output if necessary.
Error message upon boot up:

Starting dovecot.
Dovecot appears to start correctly
There is a link in the "/var/run/dovecot directory for dovecot.conf"

This error message has only started since the update to the latest version of dovecot. I am assuming it is just a harmless error message; however, I would like to confirm that hypothesis.
