I'm going to clarify this a bit. This approach does work for the specific config changes we're discussing in the postfix docs, but it is not always the case. I know from experience that if you take a full dovecot 1.x config file, run doveconf -n on it from dovecot 2 and plug the results directly into dovecot 2.x odds are you will have to make a few additional tweaks to get it to work properly. I have brought up the documentation issue wrt the dovecot 1.x config on this list in the past and it was discussed and nothing changed in the actual docs. I do think that either the example dovecot config needs to be replicated in the docs for dovecot 2.x or it should simply be removed and a reference made to the dovecot docs. Just having the 1.x config is very confusing, imo, especially since the vast majority of people will be on 2.x now. Peter
