I am a dovecot newbie and I am setting up a machine that already

Since bugs are being resolved rapidly, it appears that I need to
know the release version of dovecot I am running.

Is there a command I can issue or a file I can examine to determine
the release version of my installation?

At the shell prompt:

dovecot --version

(assuming dovecot is in your path, otherwise something like /usr/ local/bin/dovecot --version, etc)
