[Dovecot] Feature Request: Config Dump

[Charles Marcus]

Hello,

One of the less friendly lists I am on is the Postfix list, but one of 
the features that Postfix has, and the use of which is required when 
asking for help on their list, is a command called 'postconf', which 
simply dumps the current configuration parameters into a neat, orderly 
output that you can then cut-n-paste into an email request for help. The 
postfix guys won't even try to address a problem without this output (as 
opposed to snippets from config files), combined with log snippets of 
the failing behavior (as opposed to bounced message text, or 'it don't 
work' comments).

So, what I'd like to see is something similar - a command that I can 
issue that will cause Dovecot to dump all of the configuration 
parameters it is currently using in a neat, orderly arrangement.

This would dramatically help individual users in troubleshooting their 
own problems, as well as help people on this list help others. It would 
totally eliminate all of the 'what is xys set to' questions back and forth.

But I'm more interested in how it will simply help me to see how I have 
it configured, and allow me to easily spot conflicting or misconfigured 
parameters.
