So this is NOT the default, although the conf file states such?
Where did you get the config file? The default config file that comes in tarball is the same as in http://dovecot.org/doc/dovecot-example.conf and there's no pop3 in the protocols line. If some distribution changed that, it should be fixed.
This was from an RPM created in one of the CentOS add-on packagers. I ran a dovecot -n against this being commented and un- commented and didn't see any difference. The packager must have found a way to change the defaults.
Can that be done at compile time or could the code have been modified?
