Hi! I am using courier IMAP with maildrop as LDA. I started reading about dovecot and i like started to feel that i can switch to it. I have couple questions mostly about dovecot's LDA. My main problem with maildrop is that i have to create manualy user directories grr. All my domains are set up as virtual with postfix. So when i add new accout thru my web panel and i have to create user dir manually. This is really annoying thing. Maildrop checks if there is user dir before delivering mail. If not it report error. I want to know if dovecot's LDA create automaticly user dirs or not. I need also filtering language in LDA and i kknow that LDA has option to use sieve scrips. Generaly i am not sure that dovecot will be a good choice to switch from courier. Could anybody help me ? -- best regards, Bartosz Giza

Using a shared UID/GID and virtual users, I've never had a problem.> I need also filtering language in LDA and i kknow that LDA has option to use > sieve scrips.Yep, sieve scripts. As for more indepth, like custom scripts for each user, I can't help more. I know it can do it, but the details I don't know about.> > Generaly i am not sure that dovecot will be a good choice to switch from > courier. > Could anybody help me ?I like it. It works. Best thing is to setup a test system, and try it. Tim -- Linux Counter user #273956 Don't email joeblogs at scouts.org.au
