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

I did what Aki said. Actually I moved it all to a new server and to docker containers. From Dovecot 2.2 to 2.3. And it worked fine. Of course one always forget something - the path for the certificates, the different directory for mounting storage, etc. But am surprise and happy that it worked very well. __ Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay Oslo, Norway Sent from a mobile device / Enviado a

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

Hello, Thanks. Are there any performance or stability advantages Sdbox over Maildir? I'm also thinking ease of encryption an Sdbox or Mdbox vs Maildir? Thanks. Dave.

Hello, I've got a Dovecot 2.3.x setup. Currently it's running Maildir storage. I'd like to convert that to Dbox specifically Sdbox safely. I'm also looking to at the same time or shortly thereafter encrypt the email storage with mail_crypt. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

While trying to determine a given configuration is valid from within a script, I found that the following works with Dovecot version 2.3.2.1: #!/usr/bin/env bash doveconf -n >/dev/null || echo "Config is invalid" However, the return code is not documented in the doveconf manual page, and I wonder if the observed behaviour can be relied on? Is this the recommended method to test

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

I've set up Dovecot 2.0 with the expire plugin using an SQLite DB, and when mail is delivered via dovecto-lda, the DB gets updated as expected. However, when I use Thunderbird 3.1.2 for Mac OS X to move a message to any of the folders known to the expire plugin (e.g. the 'tmp' folder), the SQLite DB is not updated. Here is an excerpt of my current configuration: #
