Hey Timo,

I was wondering how much trouble it would be to again emulate the way postfix does something - in this case, the way it reads its config file when starting up.

Current behavior:

Postfix:
If postfix encounters the same setting defined more than once, the last one wins.

Dovecot:
If dovecot encounters the same setting defined more than once it gives an error (also when using the 'dovecot -n' command).

I like to add all of my changes to the very bottom of the config file, but otherwise leave the config file as is... this makes it very easy when updating - I can easily keep all of the new default config file, and simply merge my customizations at the end.

So - how hard would it be to make dovecot simply accept the last defined setting read, instead of refusing to start?

Thanks much, and glad to have you back in action!
