Re: IMAP server options in pkgsrc

I installed dovecot fresh.  The config file is not so big but it
includes a lot of subfiles.  Almost all of them seem almost all
comments.  It does get to 1940 lines (total).

I have modified my config to just not include them, so that I have less
to think about.

I am not sure if what is truly needed from conf.d is default.   I have
the following, to use different passwords for mail and actual login.

  userdb {
    driver = passwd
  }
  passdb {
    args = /etc/passwd-dovecot
    driver = passwd-file
  }

and

  service imap-login {
    inet_listener imap {
      port = 0
    }
    process_limit = 64
  }
  service imap {
    process_limit = 64
