All stats configuration is as default seeing by dovecot -a

    service stats {
       chroot =
       client_limit = 0
       drop_priv_before_exec = no
       executable = stats
       extra_groups =
       group =
       idle_kill = 4294967295 secs
       privileged_group =
       process_limit = 1
       process_min_avail = 0
       protocol =
       service_count = 0
       type =
       unix_listener stats-reader {
         group =
         mode = 0600
         user =
       }
       unix_listener stats-writer {
         group = $default_internal_group
         mode = 0660
         user =
       }
       user = $default_internal_user
       vsz_limit = 18446744073709551615 B
    }


I don't use this dovecot stats service and I don't have metrics 
configured. Actually I wanted to know if it is possible to deactivate it 
because we do not use it here in the company.
