      For Dovecot to work, you will need to do the following:

      1) Create configuration in #{etc}

      2) If required by the configuration above, create a dovecot user and group

      3) possibly create a launchd item in /Library/LaunchDaemons/#{plist_path.basename}, like so:
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
      <plist version="1.0">
      <dict>
              <key>Label</key>
              <string>#{plist_name}</string>
              <key>OnDemand</key>
              <false/>
              <key>ProgramArguments</key>
              <array>
                      <string>#{HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/sbin/dovecot</string>
                      <string>-F</string>
              </array>
              <key>RunAtLoad</key>
              <true/>
              <key>ServiceDescription</key>
              <string>Dovecot mail server</string>
      </dict>
      </plist>

      4) start the server using: sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/#{plist_path.basename}
