I have questions about configuration of covecot in container

Description

The conatiner keeps produce the error while running

I found the default configuration of dovecot is listen = *, ::

and should be set to listen=* to disable ipv6 but I found no way to replace it.

I tried set POSTFIX_INET_PROTOCOLS=ipv4 in environment variable but it's only for profix.

am I missing somthing? Thanks very much.
