I just upgraded my Dovecot IMAP package on my mail server and when I
restarted the service, I got the following warnings...
doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:12:
add auth_ prefix to all settings inside auth {} and remove the auth {}
section completely
doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:14:
passdb pam {} has been replaced by passdb { driver=pam }
doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:16:
userdb passwd {} has been replaced by userdb { driver=passwd }
doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:18:
auth_user has been replaced by service auth { user }
The list was much longer but I was able to self resolve them. I was
wondering if someone here can assist me in converting my
'dovecot.conf' file?
Below is how my dovecot.conf file appears:
protocols = imap
disable_plaintext_auth = yes
log_timestamp = "%b %d %H:%M:%S "
mail_location = maildir:~/mail
auth_username_chars
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@
protocol imap {
imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep
}
auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb pam {
}
userdb passwd {
}
user = root
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
user = postfix
group = postfix
mode = 0660
}
}
}
***doveconf -n***
[root at mail /]# doveconf -n
