So it is, too. Thanks. :)

In that case, no problem. :)

I discovered two small errors (at least I think they are):

Fatal: Can't create directory /usr/local/var/run/dovecot: No such file or
directory

... when I undefine "base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/". So that path really
isn't the default dovecot uses, for some reason it prepends '/usr/local'
(that being the install prefix). This could be a feature, too - it just
confused me because I thought the comments showed the default settings.

And I also get an error when I uncomment "max_logging_users = 256":

Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 125:
Unknown setting: max_logging_users

That should probably be login_max_logging_users?
