After playing around on my test server I installed dovecot v2.0.9. This was my procedure: (Stop Qmailtoaster) 1) qmailctl stop (Uninstall dovecot v1.2.3) 2) cd /my/dovecot/dir/dovecot-1.2.3 3) sudo make uninstall (Install dovecot v2.0.9) 4) cd /my/dovecot/dir 5) wget http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.9.tar.gz 6) tar -zxvf dovecot-2.0.9.tar.gz 7) cd dovecot-2.0.9 8) ./configure --with-vpopmail --with-ssl=openssl 9) make 10) sudo make install (Create the v2.0.9 configuration file from v1.2.3 configuration file and put it in v2 directory) 11) cp /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf 12) cd /usr/local/etc/dovecot 13) doveconf -n > dovecot-2.conf (Create v2 compatible file) 14) cp dovecot-2.conf dovecot.conf (Rename v2 compatible file) (Edit v2 file) 15) Removed the following setting from dovecot.conf (IMAP will not work with this setting) service auth { user = vpopmail } 15) qmailctl start All seems to be working correctly. The ACL options I was trying to get working under v1.2.3 are now working in v2.0.9 Eric --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
