[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0.8 defaults to require ipv6 ?
FYI it seems dovecot 2.0.8 fails to start on RHEL5 with IPv6 disabled ("alias net-pf-10 off" in modprobe.conf) unless one specify "listen = *".
Not sure if this is a known problem, or just a hint that we should start enabling ipv6 on our mailservers... ;-)

i.e., without "listen = *" it complains:
Error: service(pop3-login): listen(::, 110) failed: Address already in use
Error: service(pop3-login): listen(::, 995) failed: Address already in use
Error: service(imap-login): listen(::, 143) failed: Address already in use
Error: service(imap-login): listen(::, 993) failed: Address already in use
Error: service(director): listen(::, 5515) failed: Address already in usewhich at minimum is a confusing error message...

With http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/cde0d403c6ff you get a better error message.
