Speaking of which, given that the local.conf file in the example configuration is the target of !include_try, why is it commented out???
Its idea was simply to be an example of what you can do.. Maybe it's a bad example and could be something else, like maybe dovecot-secret.conf. There is anyway already !include conf.d/*.conf so you could just put your local.conf to conf.d/ directory and it would get used automatically.
True enough.
My point was simply that !include_try local.conf does not need to be commented out at all, since it's just a try. What's the purpose of commenting it out?
I really do like the idea of a local.conf file, literally. I created one myself for my own (local) configuration settings after reading through the dovecot.conf file. It wasn't until I tested my local.conf settings that I realized that the statement in the dovecot.conf file was commented out! My bad that I didn't notice the comment to begin with, but then it occurred to me - why is it commented? Works the same either way. :)
