My system never issues the "dovecot start" command. I do, however, run /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap on port 9xxx. I talk to the server through port 9xxx and through the preauth tunnel. Is this arrangement OK? Are there some things that will only work if "dovecot" is invoked?
In particular, I'm curious because of messages like the one below that I got from "doveadm search":
doveadm(dave): Error: net_connect_unix(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/indexer) failed: No such file or directory
Is the lack of this (or any other) socket attributable to not having started dovecot itself?
