This allows using the LMTP, IMAP and POP3 proxy on the same
Dovecot installation without the userdb providing the port

mail system and thus justifies the usage of port 24.
Prior to this patch the LTMP client would connect to TCP port 0 by
default if the userdb did not provide a port to connect to.
