just create a proper configuration file but do not start the master process. than it wouldnt be listening anywhere.
sure.
i dont think the maintainer of the package has to do anything there. just disable the init script (rcconf e.g. you will know the debian way)
yeah but the maintainer must have followed some plan when making the package not start the master process when protocols is unset...
err... you just reported that you _have_to_ set the protocols. so i dont get your point. if the service is disabled ... why should the debian init script care about the config at all? if you dont want any listening just dont start it. or do i miss anything here?
i just double checked it. with a valid config you dont need a running dovecot for using "/usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap". so why make it more complicated than needed?
hope this helps
