dovecot - Jan 2022 - sockets created for lmtp

Was recently configuring lmtp to listen in the postfix spool for mail.

I set the socket as suggested in the documentation, however, when I  
look at what sockets were created there was an additional one for  
dovecot.

Since I made the change, my expectation would have been just the one  
that I set up.

I doubt it impacts it negatively, but I wanted to understand if I  
configured things correctly or not.

Thanks.

Mike

Can you provide any details on what you did, what you expected, and what you
actually observed?
