Hmm, but what?

Dovecot is compiled with options:

./configure \
        --prefix=/usr \
        --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl \
        --with-ssldir=/etc/ssl \
        --with-rawlog \
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --without-vpopmail \
        --disable-ipv6 \
        --with-pam \
        --without-passwd-file \
        --without-checkpassword \
        --without-bsdauth \
        --without-static-userdb \
        --without-passdb-userdb \
        --without-pgsql \
        --without-mysql \
        --without-sqlite \
        --with-rundir=/var/run/dovecot \
        --without-deliver \
        --without-gssapi
