Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink sbin/dovecot
/usr/local/sbin is not writable.
You can try again using:
brew link dovecot
==> Caveats
For Dovecot to work, you may need to create a dovecot user
and group depending on your configuration file options.
To have launchd start dovecot now and restart at startup:
sudo brew services start dovecot

Is there any information on using dovecot on Mojave? I have been using Mac
OS Server for a few years and looking for the preferred way to move to Mojave
