Curious... was this copy/pasted from dovecot -n output? Or was that last line misspelling of 'maildur' a typo?
Just one reason why copy/pasted output of dovecot -n is preferred...
It was manually retyping. I was rebuilding a new server which I did by putting a new harddisk in my workstation and then making a VMWare guest using the raw disk. I don't install any of the vmware crud in that guest since it is a pain to get rid of and disk would be the new primary disk in a physical machine anyway. Consequently I had no copy and paste capability and had to retype manually.
SSH would have been one alternative, but the ssh connections hang between a host and guest on the same machine under some circumstances (and always for me). It is some tcp level issue that I didn't bother resolving.
But I am happy to have successfully migrated from Gentoo qmail, maildrop, courier and sqwebmail to Ubuntu postfix, procmail, dovecot and squirrelmail.
