I recall Dovecot 1.0b7 spat the dummy when we tried to run it without
pop3/imap services, for SMTP auth.  I was a bit bogged down at the time,
so we just configured it to run pop3, but listen on localhost only.

i.e. in dovecot.conf:

protocols = pop3
...
protocol pop3 {
	listen = 127.0.0.1:110
	...
}

Might be worth revisiting so we can do protocols = none.
