I’m running version 2.1.7 under Raspbian Wheezy (and have been for a number of 
years). I want to allow one of my other computers to remotely issue doveadm 
commands to my server but can’t seem to find the right way to add an inet 
listener to permit this.

Using ‘doveconf -a’ I’ve found the default service definition for 
doveadm-server. So I copied that and added it to the dovecot configuration with 
an inet listener section added to it. But that was rejected as a duplicate 
service definition when I restarted dovecot. I then tried specifying a 
“host:port” value for the doveadm_socket_path value but that didn’t work as no 
listening socket at that port appeared when I restarted dovecot.

I can’t seem to find in any of the dovecot documentation a way to do this and 
there seems to be nothing like a “Here’s how to setup doveadm remote access” 
section in the documentation (which would be most helpful).

How can I get doveadm-server to listen not only locally (as it’s already doing) 
but also open an inet port for remote access?
