Kind regards, Dewayne

Thanks Adam, its very reassuring to know that you'll "dogfood" the update prior to releasing to FreeBSD ports users. This is one of those high impact updates that need it - like sendmail, samba, heimdal, squid, nginx, apache ... ;) PS dogfood is a peculiar term where, typically a supplier, uses what they provide to others. As an example: I first came across the term when HP Management wanted to demonstrate to their external customers that they use the same services internally as supplied externally. (I could write a short-story…)

Dewayne and The,

The dovecot and pigeonhole ports for 2.3.1 and 0.5.1 are ready to go. Larry and I have been dogfooding them, and all the bugs I encountered in 2.3.0 seem to be fixed now. I’m waiting for the next quarterly branch (4 days) and then the ports will be committed. If you’d like to use them before then, you can grab them at https://people.freebsd.org/~adamw/dovecot-2.3.1.tar.gz

If you encounter any problems, please do let us know!

There’s a pkg-message and there’ll be an UPDATING entry, but it bears repeating here too: read https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3 <https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3> for some of the potentially breaking changes. Merge the changes from the 2.3 conf files carefully---Dovecot 2.3 will most likely fail to start with unmodified 2.2 conf files. I copied the 2.3 conf files anew and recreated my setup, and you might consider doing the same thing.

-ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3
-ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL
+ssl_dh   = </usr/local/etc/dovecot/dh.pem

So far so good - IMAP and ManageSieve both work fine!

Thanks!

Thanks Adam! I am running 2.3.1/0.5.1 now. Upgrade was smoot - in my simple setup it amounted to this:
