Yes.  Good point.  And thanks for the clarification.

As a Dovecot newbie, I'm curious.  What would be the syntax in dovecot to
configure a second pop3 listener?  Would it something like this?

service pop3-login {
  # POP3 for STARTTLS users
  inet_listener pop3 {
    port = 110
    ssl = yes
  }
  # POP3 for no TLS
  inet_listener pop3 {
    port = xxx
    ssl = no
  }
  # POP3 for 
  inet_listener pop3s {
    port = 993
    ssl = required
}

And shouldn't "inet_listener pop3s" really use ssl=required (as above),
instead of ssl=yes (as shown in the default 10-master.conf file)?

Thanks,
Michael
