I got the postfix installation running smoothly, and I went on to dovecot.
And problems began: maybe I actually AM stupid, but I hope not.
Still, I cannot seem to find a dovecot tutorial that actually
A: works
B: is in agreement with the current dovecot distro (especially: the
dovecot conf file/dir structure is nothing like what is assumed in the
HowTos)
Also, they seem all generally of low quality, and seem not to have been
proofread by anyone and certainly not vetted for use by absolute beginners.
Postfix provided a very well executed couple of straightforward simple
setups, which enabled me to learn a lot in a short time.
Trying to follow the dovecot HowTos often leaves you confused: like at
the start it goes on about one specific layout, and in the middle
somewhere something subtly changes, so you suddenly have no idea where
to put stuff. And you're left wondering: am I supposed to create this,
or will it happen by automagical means? (I've come across both..)
Does anyone here know of a simple and straightforward instruction on how
to set something simple up for dovecot, dovecot SASL and lmtp with postfix.
Something that has been proofread.
If someone were to publish a book on Dovecot, I'd put my money down
immediately.
Is there one?
