Its idea and name was stolen from Postfix, but that's all.

It's disabled automatically if it's not needed. It's currently only used
by mail_max_userip_connections setting to track how many connections a
user+ip combination has to the server.

How about just what it does?

Is it postfix's anvil (http://linux.die.net/man/8/anvil)?

If it _is_, there are certainly a number of configuration parameters
available ... the "process_limit" in master.conf NOT being one of
them.

Is it _only_ for use with postfix?  If we don't use postfix,
can/should we disable it?

I wasn't really planning on writing any docs for it. If you need to talk
to it, the source code will tell you the protocol. :) There's nothing to
configure in it beyond the normal service {} settings.

The wiki is not yet 'v2.0-ready'. Anvil works in the background.
Usage: $PREFIX/sbin/dovecot [starts also anvil]
   $PREFIX/sbin/dovecot stop [stops also anvil]
;-)

Configuration via master.conf.
