Because of this you will not be able to open root's + mailbox, or any of the mailboxes of users in the wheel group. This is + intended as a security feature, and isn't an issue on Linux because + the concept of wheel is not enforced by GNU su. + + + 2003/04/15 + It is now possible to change this behavior to allow wheel users to + check their mailboxes with Dovecot. Add the following line to your + dovecot.conf: + + allow_zero_gid = yes + + o The configuration which is supplied with this port is installed into + PREFIX/etc/dovecot-example.conf and PREFIX defaults to /usr/local. + I have attempted to choose what appears to be the best mixture of + performance and compatibility and set Dovecot up to start POP3 and + IMAP services for all the local users of the machine. This should be + enough for the simplest sites to get up and running straight away. + + o Enabling SSL services should be easy, the Dovecot port is configured + by default to keep its SSL information under /var/dovecot/ssl, if you + already have certificates you wish to use then you can override this + in the configuration. If you don't have a certificate and wish to + make your own it should be as simple as: + + # cd PREFIX/share/doc/dovecot/ + # vi dovecot-openssl.conf + + Add information which describes your enivironment. + + # sh mkcert.sh + + Execute the certificate generator. This will put a new certificate + and private key under /var/dovecot/ssl. + + # cd PREFIX/etc/ + # vi dovecot.conf + + Reconfigure Dovecot to use SSL. + + The variables you will want to set in dovecot.conf to allow a SSL + secured POP3 and IMAP service are: + + + protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s + + ssl_disable = no + + You may wish to also change the following variables to reflect the + location of SSL certificates on your system. + + + ssl_cert_file = /var/dovecot/ssl/certs/imapd.pem + + ssl_key_file = /var/dovecot/ssl/private/imapd.pem |
