[Dovecot] Help with basic configuration
I followed the information from the wiki here is my dovecot.conf file and yet I can't get pop3 working. I need this to listen on pop3 for an internal process but get email from smtp sources. So I would like to have sendmail receive email from the world to a specific email address then check the mailbox via a POP3 internal process. Any help would be great.

# 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf You are missing a great deal of the needed parts of your config file. For starters.
protocols = pop3 protocol imap { listen = *:143 }
Also please post any log entry's.
