Hey,

I can't reproduce this on my system. I typically run the rc.d/ scripts
myself, but I did try using the `service` command as well. It works as
expected: The script returns no output when  dovecot_enable is commented
out or set equal to NO in my /etc/rc.conf.local file, and it does not start
or stop the dovecot processes.

I'm using dovecot 1.2.17 on 10.0-RELEASE. Are you using dovecot 2?
