Hi Timo,
If I could tell you a little smart wish, I've one for you. ;)
Today I'm writing my own configurationdocumentation 'bout Dovecot in my dokuwiki and for documentation purposes I changing some options several times a day.
Postfix supports on its own postconf an option -e. So I can set up mostly every configuration-option on the fly.
Dovecot's doveconf has no such option. So, I changed the configuration-files and reload my dovecot-daemon. It were grait if doveconf has a similar function, like postconf's option "-e".
Maybe you can make a little update to doveconf in one of the upcomming releases? ;)
Best regards Django
