Doesn't it say something about "Socket operation on non-socket"?
Anyway.. I thought about this, and I don't think I want to change how it
works. Dovecot shouldn't go deleting files that exist, just in case
someone accidentally configured some socket to point to wrong location.

Just create a wrapper script that deletes the
entire /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/ directory at startup.
