[Dovecot] listen directive changed?

Timo,

Is the global listen directive supposed to be a governing directive, like in apache? or is it there just in case you dont use it in protocols?

I set a specific ipv6 address in global listen, but use [::] in proto Testing to a secondary IP, not in the global listen, it still connects, so can I ask has the original use of global listen been deprecated?

ciao
