Hi,
Looks like I've run out of time and have to roll back from version 2 to
version 1 and stick with version 1.
I have dpkgs for version 1 and my orginal configuration files and think I'll
have to stick with Debian Squeeze and never use Wheezy because that does not
carry Dovecot 1.
Does any debian dovecot peeps know if this is all the packages I need?
dovecot-common_1.2.15-7_amd64.deb
dovecot-dbg_1.2.15-7_amd64.deb
dovecot-dev_1.2.15-7_amd64.deb
dovecot-imapd_1.2.15-7_amd64.deb
dovecot-pop3d_1.2.15-7_amd64.deb
mysqmail-dovecot-logger_0.4.9-7_amd64.deb

Scratch this because this was set in
my dovecot.conf..... and had not made any difference
....
Is the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf used anymore, because
dovecot is not listening on any ports !
I've looked on the wiki and only Basic Configuration is
noted so I don't know if I should use:
service imap-login {
chroot = login
inet_listener imap {
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 3993
or some syntax. Any body?
Off topic, Debian does not include the documentation
directory with its packages:
# cd /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config
-su: cd: /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config: No such file
or directory

Hi,
Just noticed
mode = 0666
should be set for auth-userdb
however I see its not set in my converted dovecot.conf and
think I should set this in the conf.d/10-master.conf, but
I
don't know which permissions should be secure and if
secure
permissions, then how should postfix interact with this or
deliver to mail stores that are owned by xxx ?

Hi,
I just upgraded from version 1 to version on Debian
Squeeze
using their backports.
Like I expected my dovecot1 config had to be
converted
using
doveconf and this I did.
However, I see problems with files inside directory:
drwxr-xr-x 4 dovenull root 4096 Feb 25 20:35
/var/run/dovecot
All of them were created owned by root:root rw.
I tried to changed, for example :
chown postfix:dovecot /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
but noticed when I restarted dovecot it reset the
permissions back to root:root rw.
Here's the version:
# dovecot --version
2.1.7
Here's my slightly redacted conf.
# grep -v ^# dovecot.conf|grep -v ^$
auth_mechanisms = plain login
auth_verbose = yes
dict {
quotadict =
mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf

passdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf
driver = sql
}
plugin {
quota_rule = *:storage=262144:messages=20000
quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=282144:messages=23000
}
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
group = postfix
mode = 0660
user = postfix
}
unix_listener auth-master {
mode = 0600
user = vmail
}
user = root
}
service imap-login {
chroot = login
inet_listener imap {

}

port = 993

}
protocol lda {
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
log_path =

postmaster_address = xxxx@xxxxx
}
I really don't understand how I should make this
work, and
the after I read the docs on dovecot.org and googled
I
realised I was really lost getting this back up and
runing
:(
I should be really grateful if somebody would give me
some
advice.
Thanks,
Soph'
