I'm using gentoo also so we must have the same exact version. Something
strange though, my configuration file uses a different syntax than
yours. Instead of using colons for variables it expects equals. So
when I copied and pasted your config I got this error:
Error: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 1:
Expecting '='
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Why is this happening?
The colons are produced from the output of 'dovecot -n'... you can't
just copy-n-paste that output to a config file...
I brought this up some time ago, right after Timo added the dovecot -n
feature, that it should be formatted the same as the config file itself...
