A better idea would be to put that line into a
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/local.conf file and leave 10-master.conf alone. The
local.conf file, since it sorts after 10-master, will over-ride the
settings in 10-master.conf.
This will leave the RPM-packaged 10-master.conf file alone, so you can
upgrade Dovecot without having to merge your modifications into the
.rpmnew file.
Hope this helps,
It's definitely the better way to go from a maintenance standpoint, thank you.
(yes, I hacked the master, too).
