dovecot 1.1.11 vs 1.1.15

[James Berry]

Hi Mark,

I just wanted to let you know that I've seen your reports and am  
shaking my head a bit, as I also ran the dovecot update. In my case, I  
had no problem. Is your dovecot user and group installed successfully?

	dscl . -read /users/dovecot; dscl . -read /groups/dovecot

1.1.16 was just released today, and I'll be updating the port to that  
soon, but as far as I know it didn't fix anything on the order of what  
you describe.

James (dovecot mainainer)
