[Dovecot] Start using Dovecot

[Eric Loyd]

Isaak,

It sounds as though you are using the stock dovecot-sql.conf file
without making site-specific changes.  Make sure you're setting up the
SQL information properly, especially the query.  Check out
http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/SQL for more information.
