Hello there.

I recently updated syslog-ng-3.4.8 to version 3.6.2. After the update,
logwatch would no longer match any lines produced by dovecot.

I compared log output from before and after the update, which revealed
that syslog-ng now adds the PID to the dovecot handle. This was already
the case for every other service and don't know why syslog-ng used to
omit this.

Anyway, this "change" is not yet reflected in the dovecot service file.
I have attached a simple patch that fixes the issue.
