Hey Timo,
I was wondering how much trouble it would be to again emulate the way postfix does something - in this case, the way it reads its config file when starting up.
Current behavior:
Postfix: If postfix encounters the same setting defined more than once, the last one wins.
Dovecot: If dovecot encounters the same setting defined more than once it gives an error (also when using the 'dovecot -n' command).
I like to add all of my changes to the very bottom of the config file, but otherwise leave the config file as is... this makes it very easy when updating - I can easily keep all of the new default config file, and simply merge my customizations at the end.
So - how hard would it be to make dovecot simply accept the last defined setting read, instead of refusing to start?
Thanks much, and glad to have you back in action!
