Thanks for your reply Timo!

Does this apply only to dovecot 2.x or also 1.x ?

It seems to be working well for me (so far)  on the 1.2.1 installation  
with vpopmail, but i've only been using it in production just over a  
month (despite installing it quite some time ago).  Is there something  
I should be worried about or looking for?

thanks again!
