[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0.8 defaults to require ipv6 ?
FYI it seems dovecot 2.0.8 fails to start on RHEL5 with IPv6 disabled
("alias net-pf-10 off" in modprobe.conf) unless one specify
"listen = *".
Not sure if this is a known problem, or just a hint that we should start
enabling ipv6 on our mailservers... ;-)
