Ideally, as your time allows.. you should code changes you see fit.. to 
avoid messages getting bounced in case of failure to write to the logs.

Absolutely. The problem is trivial for a single installation, but gets 
more interesting if one has to do it in many machines, other people will 
have to learn the procedure and one has to worry about log rotation and the 
such.

In an ideal world we would have some automated set of scripts to install and 
configure Dovecot. The FreeBSD port's system does most of the work already 
(we use FreeBSD) so it should not be too bad. My next concern would be log 
rotation. I think we discussed on some other email.. so I will check 
the archives.
