Hello! I have the following three types of mailboxes on my server: 1) Regular user mail /var/mail/<user> in mbox format 2) Suspected spam in /var/tmp/spamprobe in mbox format 3) Archived mailing list in /home/mks/mksarch in mbox format I want the 1) to be only accessible to the respective <user>, obviously (POP3 and/or IMAP4). I wanted the 2) to be accessible to all users -- and I want them to be able to move stuff out of it into their own mboxes (IMAP4 is enough). I want the 3) to be accessible _read only_ to anyone, who enters the correct username/password (preferably -- without creating a special Unix account). (IMAP4 or POP3) So far, I have only been able to achieve 1). Could someone, please, help me configure dovecot for the 2) and the 3)? Thanks! -mi

Something like: namespace public { prefix = Public/ location = mbox:/var/tmp } That gives access to everything in /var/tmp though. Otherwise you'll have to do something like: namespace public { prefix = spamprobe/ location = mbox:/var/tmp/dovecot-public-home:INBOX=/var/tmp/spamprobe } However then the mailbox is called spamprobe/INBOX.> I want the 3) to be accessible _read only_ to anyone, who enters the correct > username/password (preferably -- without creating a special Unix account). > (IMAP4 or POP3)You can create a namespace like above and then use ACL plugin to make it read-only. But there's no way to give any extra username/passwords, IMAP protocol doesn't support that. You could make ACL file which makes it read-only to specific list of users. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
