Update your configurations to match. - - + 2003/04/15 (DEPRECIATED) - 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 - -Thanks, -Dominic Marks <dominic.marks@btinternet.com> |
