I recently installed Dovecot rc22 from the FreeBSD ports and I have
some problem with the dovecot startup:

• If I start dovecot manually, it works fine, it starts and I get
  messages in /var/log/maillog
• If I reboot the machine, that's where the problem appears, dovecot
  doesn't seem to start and I get nothing, no errors in /var/log/maillog

Any idea if this is a known problem and how to fix it ?

Have you got it enabled in the

/etc/rc.conf file?

Check the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dovecot file for information. I am not at that machine now; however, I believe you just need:

/etc/rc.conf
dovecot_enable="YES"

In the file. It might be 'enabled' rather than 'enable' so check it out.
