Package: dovecot-common
Version: 1.0.rc15-2
It appears the init script only checks for variations of POP and IMAP
protocols to be listed in the configuration before running Dovecot:
start)
if grep protocols /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf | sed 's/#.*$//' | tr -d '"' | \
egrep -q '[^#]*(\bpop3s?\b|\bimaps?\b)';
then
if [ -x /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login -a -x /usr/lib/dovecot/imap ] \
|| [ -x /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login -a -x /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 ];
then
echo -n "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec $DAEMON
echo "."
fi
fi
;;
However, this check breaks some usages where you only want to run
Dovecot authentication server (for instance, when using Postfix provding
SMTP auth, or for Dovecot LDA).
In those situation, the protocols line usually reads "none" (as suggested
by the comments in dovecot.conf), preventing it from being run.
