I restored from backups and removed all configuration changes I made, 
but now dovecot wont start because the dovecot.conf config file that i 
used to use is apparently depreciated, where can I get a fresh one for 
vpostmaster?

fyi it says this:
Error: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 15: Unknown 
setting: imap_listen
then when i comment out those lines it says:

Warning: Ignoring deprecated 'login' section handling. Use protocol 
imap/pop3 { .. } instead. Some settings may have been read incorrectly.
Warning: Ignoring deprecated 'login' section handling. Use protocol 
imap/pop3 { .. } instead. Some settings may have been read incorrectly.
Error: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 305: Unknown 
setting: mbox_locks
