imap_admins, lmtp_admins, [service]_admins?

[Ken Murchison]

In config_getoverflowstring():

     /* First lookup <ident>_key, to see if we have a service-specific
      * override */

     if (config_ident) {
         if (snprintf(buf,sizeof(buf),"%s_%s",config_ident,key) == -1)
             fatal("key too long in config_getoverflowstring", EC_TEMPFAIL);

         lcase(buf);
         ret = hash_lookup(buf, &confighash);
     }
