Cheers Remko and Ralph. I think there was some mention in the lets encrypt FAQ that certbot doesn't do email. But I understand I can use their generated very for dovecot, postfix and https? That would be good indeed. Anyone know of any manual, or can I just replace the certs in the dovecot and postfix locations with theirs? Do dovecot, postfix and apache all support .pem format?

Thanks Ralph, i?ll look into that. I think let?s encrypt uses certbot though and it can?t do email certificates (although i?m sure i can convert the cert i get from let?s encrypt, i?ll look into it. > On 9 Aug 2017, at 16:40, Ralph Seichter <m16+dovecot at monksofcool.net> wrote: > > On 09.08.2017 17:20, Alef Veld wrote: > >> So i?m using dovecot, and i created a self

Hi, I am trying to create an authenticated relay server using Postfix and Dovecot. However I am having two problems : (a) If I create a dovecot config entry as follows : unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-authrelay/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } Dovecot is unable to create the socket ? I thought surely if dovecot is started as root it should

So i?m using dovecot, and i created a self signed certificate with mkcert.sh based on dovecot-openssl.cnf. The name in there matches my mail server. The first time it connects in mac mail however, it says the certificate is invalid and another server might pretend to be me etc. I then have the option of trusting it. Is this normal behaviour? Will it always be invalid if it?s not signed by a

Hi Aki, Oops; I did not think carefully enough about your instructions. Here is the output from $ dovecot -n -c /home/meuser/dotfiles/auto-stanford-dovecot.conf # 2.3.2.1 (0719df592): /home/meuser/dotfiles/auto-stanford-dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.2 () # OS: Linux 4.18.0-13-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 18.10 ext4 # Hostname: cpbl-t450s doveconf: Warning: please set

Hi Aki, I am not 100% sure. I do not really know what my OS does. "ps -A" says dovecot is running, but if I say "sudo service dovecot stop", my email client works fine still (that is, assuming the old version of dovecot is installed). ie the on-demand instances of dovecot-imapd that Alpine calls are, I assume, started and stopped by Alpine. (?) Is my OS using dovecot

Hi Aki, Bingo! Putting that line in dovecot.conf rather than my custom file, and then using my old custom file, unchanged, from Alpine works perfectly. My only remaining question, then, would be ... what was this (change) about / or is there any documentation that I should/could have read to know what to do without asking a lead developer? Thank you very much. I hope you had a great start

Hi, First, I am very new to using Pigeonhole/Sieve with Dovecot and I am struggling with a problem which could be easy to solve but is just a lack of understanding on my end... We use a simple system for routing emails to different email users by postfixing the addresses with the actual user: xxxJohn at domain; yyyJohn at domain etc all will be delivered to user John. (This way John can

Hi Aki, Yes, the same connect error: imap(meuser,)Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied The mail location in "doveconf -n" (belo) does not reflect my preferences. In Alpine, if I acknowledge the error I get, which tells me to add novalidate-cert in my pinerc file, it prompts me for my POSIX username and password. After that, I get my
