First of all, I don't think any sane person would argue that the
Dovecot documentation is in a league with Postfix or even Apache.
For that matter, I know of no other open source software that has
documentation as detailed as Postfix. Try deciphering the OpenSSL
documentation sometime. However, I think it is obvious that the poster
was simply "venting" his frustrations out on a convenient audience.

The logging could be "tightened" up and the documentation does need
work. With that said, I think we can put this matter to bed. Nothing is
going to come from it so why waste time arguing over it.
