Not every 10 seconds they aren't. And anyway, just like I don't want a ftpd 
processes trying to spawn if someone tries 
to connect to port 21, nor apache trying to startup just because someone 
connects to port 80, likewise I don't want dovecot trying to start -EVER-. In 
fact, I don't want anything, ever, to launch on demand after I've told it not 
to launch.

I do not want to remove the plist file 1) because it's in /System and I don't 
muck about in /System and 2) The next system update will simply put it back.

I also don't necessarily want to block the ports dovecot thinks it wants to 
use. Maybe I want to run courier on the machine instead.

Right now, but I have not rebooted, unloading the agent and then removing it 
(both via launchctl) has prevented it trying to spawn every 10-11 seconds, but 
I did this once before and it came back then.
