That's strange Dunc.

The new config file was written to /etc/dovecot/conf.rpmnew (as 
expected) for me, so your modified original doesn't get overwritten. I 
can see no difference between the 5.1 and 5.2 config files wrt the 
'listen' directive. Mine was, and still is, set to the default [::] and 
still works fine. Further, I have IPv6 disabled on the server. I have 
tested on both i386 and x86_64 platforms and each are working fine both 
with and without ssl/tls.

Did you restart the dovecot service after it was updated? (I'm not sure 
if yum update does this automatically or not when updating a daemon 
service that is running).
