"dovenest" isn't totally horrible (close), but "dovehole" is ... just not right at all. dovetail +1
Tail just doesn't make much sense to me. Also it's not completely free of pornographic associations either. :)
So my last idea: doveless. "It's less of a dovecot process." To me it seems closer to perfect as anything I've seen so far.
I don't remember if 'dove-nil', 'dovenil' or 'dovenull' were suggested by anyone. If not please consider them.
Hmm, it's going to make fun; there used to be the Monty Python skits using constructs like:
" it is spelled dove-in / dovein , but it is pronounced login "
Or consider yet another meaning of "dove" as past tense of to dive: dove-in: {one} dove in{to the [dove]cot}
