Awk programs are a collection of
  pattern {action}
an expression like    if ($8 != "") { print $0 }
is a statement, (something that goes in an action, with the pattern omitted
actions are wrapped in curly braces, so one would write something like
{if ($8 != "") {
    print $0
   }
}
also, note that the expression the if is testing is wrapped with 
parenthesis, not curly braces.
or of course, instead of omitting the pattern, you could make the 
pattern be the condition

being tested, and the action being to print the line.
   pattern: $8 != ""
   action: print $0
and write
$8 != "" { print $0 }

and the $0 is redundant, as {print}  does the same thing
or leave out the whole { print $0} as that's the default action if none 
is specified


Now if your going for what I think you said originally, values in all 8 
fields, the simplest form is

to detect one or more fields being blank and printing those lines is
$1==""||$2=="" || $3=="" || $4=="" || $5=="" || $6=="" || $7=="" || $8==""
as if the action is missing printing the line is done by default.

Of course if your doing more complex processing, rather than simply, check
that all 8 fields contain data, you may want to create  some pattern 
{action} lines

w/o using the defaults.

likely a missing closing brace in teh stanza *above* the service director



Agreed.  If you didn't touch the 10-director.conf file (and it looks like you 
didn't, as what you posted matches mine), then the problem is likely to be in 
10-auth.conf or dovecot.conf itself.


I think the *.conf files in /etc/dovecot/conf.d are parsed 
alphabetically. Any *.conf file may include other files (typically, 
*.ext, but that's a convention not a necessity).


So you'll need to parse from dovecot.conf downward through that file 
progression.
