Is anyone running Dovecot on either a Fedora 20 or 21 system?

surely

having an issue, on a system reboot, which I admit does not happen
often, Dovecot fails to start in the systemctl list, output is status
failed. The issue seems to be Dovecot can not bind to the ipv6
address. Now later if I manually log in to the box and start dovecot
it works just fine no problems. I've googled and seen similar issues
to this. Does anyone have a solution?

you could avoid that by have it loisten on the global IP (0.0.0.0 for ipv4 and ::: for ipv6) instead configure a specific IP for the service, otherwise you need to make sure ordering with After= or Before= in the systemd-units After=network.service systemd-networkd.service network-online.target dbmail-imapd.service dbmail-pop3d.service mysqld.service mysqld-dbmail.service CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_CHOWN CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE CAP_IPC_LOCK CAP_KILL CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE CAP_SETGID CAP_SETUID CAP_SYS_CHROOT
