patches/packages/dovecot-2.3.21.1-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes security issues:
  A large number of address headers in email resulted in excessive CPU usage.
  Abnormally large email headers are now truncated or discarded, with a limit
  of 10MB on a single header and 50MB for all the headers of all the parts of
  an email.
  For more information, see:

+Configuration files go to this directory.
+
+The configuration files that are provided here should work out of the box on
+Slackware once you've installed security certificates to support SSL/TLS.
+
+See the config file beneath this directory: conf.d/10-ssl.conf
+
+For a script that will install self-signed certificates, see mkcert.sh in
+/usr/doc/dovecot-2.*
+
+It is also recommended to edit conf.d/10-auth.conf and uncomment this line:
+#disable_plaintext_auth = yes
+
+This will prevent usernames and passwords from being sent until a secure
+connection has been established.
