Running Dovecot From Inetd
==========================
Preferred way to run Dovecot is to just start the 'dovecot' binary, but it's
also possible to run from inetd:
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
imaps stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login --ssl
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login
pop3s stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login --ssl
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
'imap-login' and 'pop3-login' automatically start 'dovecot' master process if
it's not already running.*NOTE:* If you change any configuration, Dovecot
doesn't notice the change unless the master process is restarted, or if HUP
signal is sent to it. This makes Dovecot somewhat special as a inetd-based
service.

flags = IPv4
only_from = 127.0.0.1
banner = /usr/local/etc/deny_banner
}
service imaps
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
