dovecot - Feb 2011 - disabling outgoing mail ?

We're using roundcube as a method of access to a read-only email archive
served via imap/dovecot. I was thinking of disabling outgoing mails by
fiddling with the roundcube code, but thought it might be possible to
disable the outgoing functionality from dovecot?

Dovecot has no outgoing functionality, that's done with a mta (sendmail, 
postfix, exim, ...).

I don't know roundcube, but I guess it will have a configuration file, and 
there there will be an smtp server line o something like that; surely, if you 
left it blank or with an incorrect value mail delivery will not work.

Ignore that, silly question.  Have now switched on brain.
