Hello everyone,I am trying to configure dovecot but after having followed the Fedora 31 documentation, I get the following systemctl status (port 587/tcp is open and OS is fresh of installation):
By "followed the Fedora 31 documentation" do you mean "dnf install dovecot", or something else?
dovecot[1754]: Error: bind(0.0.0.0, 587) failed: Permission denieddovecot[1754]: Error: service(submission-login): listen(*, 587) failed: Permission denieddovecot[1754]: Fatal: Failed to start listeners Is anybody encountering the same problem?
Dovecot is an IMAP and POP3 server.Port 587 is the submission MSA port. It is not used by IMAP and POP3 servers. It is used by SMTP servers.
I do not have direct familiarity with dovecot, but I can't think of any reason why it will be listening on port 587. Do you know exactly what you did to apparently make Dovecot attempt to listen on port 587, and for which reason did you want Dovecot to do that?
You probably have SELinux operating in enforcing mode, and it's blocking Dovecot from binding to port 587.
As it should. As Mr. Spock would say: this would not be a logical thing to do.
