I just checked. The dovecot RPM brings aboard its /etc/dovecot.conf. During RPM install we just run this post install modifications of it: /usr/bin/perl -pi -e "s|#auth_cache_size.*|auth_cache_size = 1024|;" /etc/dovecot.conf /usr/bin/perl -pi -e "s|#auth_cache_ttl.*|auth_cache_ttl = 3600|;" /etc/dovecot.conf /usr/bin/perl -pi -e "s|^#disable_plaintext_auth.*|disable_plaintext_auth = no|;" /etc/dovecot.conf /usr/bin/perl -pi -e "s|.*pop3_uidl_format.*| pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv|;" /etc/dovecot.conf /usr/bin/perl -pi -e "s|^#mail_location =|mail_location = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=mbox|;" /etc/dovecot.conf /usr/bin/perl -pi -e 'if ( /^.*passdb pam/ ) {$change = 1;} if ($change && /#args/) {s/#args = dovecot/args = session=yes cache_key=%u%s dovecot/; $change = 0;}' /etc/dovecot.conf /usr/bin/perl -pi -e "s|^#log_timestamp|log_timestamp|" /etc/dovecot.conf /usr/bin/perl -pi -e "s|^#syslog_facility|syslog_facility|" /etc/dovecot.conf For troubleshooting purposes I'd do this: Disable POP3, IMAP, POP3S and IMAPS in the GUI. Uninstall dovecot: rpm -e dovecot --nodeps Remove dovecot.conf: rm /etc/dovecot.conf Then reinstall Dovecot from YUM: yum install dovecot Then see if you get any errors during or after the install, or when you enable the Dovecot related services. -- With best regards Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
