If you only want to pull dovecot from atrpms, add a includepkgs option 
to the repo definition[1] and leave it enabled. You'll see dovecot 
updates just like any other package without having to use the whole repo:

[atrpms]
name=Red Hat Enterprise $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
enabled=1
includepkgs=dovecot*

[atrpms-testing]
name=Red Hat Enterprise $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms-testing
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/testing
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
enabled=1
includepkgs=dovecot*
