Hi List.

Is there a way to ensure that submission listener will not accept connections 
when dovecot is not running?

If not, is it possible to be implemented like for example
smtp/submission inet n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
-o smtpd_sasl_security_options = strict_sasl_path

The goal I want to achieve is to be able to benefit from load-balancer in such 
case.
I appreciate any advise helping me to achieve this.
