describe what you mean "install is correct" as there are unnumbered ways to setup dovecot

usally you found your errors in the logs, for testing use verbose logging

so first plan "what setup" you want to goal, reading dovecot sites , faqs, examples, archives

anyway perhaps use some virt. machine for testing multiple stuff

Robert, et al, thank you for reminding me that I need to share what I'm thinking! I've been bouncing it around in my own head but didn't really write enough to communicate.

There are a lot of things i need to learn about Dovecot, so first is how to send something to it and then see where it's logged or what actions are taken. My work uses Dovecot and I need to be able to use, test, and understand it.

So maybe the first question is, is there a test framework for Dovecot itself or is it better to set up with postfix or something and just route mail through it?

Thanks!

Leam
