The answer is a bit of yes and no. The code is there but Dovecot doesn't by default set the TCPLOCALPORT setting which is what allows vpopmail to limit users to webmail, pop3, or imap access. I've written a patch to add that and it is attached to this email. As an FYI, my configure string for Dovecot with vpopmail is as follows and the CFLAGS pass to configure is required to enable roaming users support:
cd /dovecot/build/path/ patch -p1 < dovecot-vpopmail.patch ./configure --with-pop3d --with-vpopmail --prefix=/opt/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl --without-passwd --without-passwd-file --without-shadow --without-static-userdb CFLAGS="-DHAVE_VPOPMAIL_OPEN_SMTP_RELAY" -- Ed McLain ________________________________ From: Remo Mattei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <vchkpw@inter7.com> Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 22:03:47 -0600 To: <vchkpw@inter7.com> Conversation: [vchkpw] [OT] IMAP Servers: Dovecot or Binc? Subject: Re: [vchkpw] [OT] IMAP Servers: Dovecot or Binc? So my question is this since I just moved over the new server to Dovecot as well and I like it.. but I did only IMAP should I then use the pop3 from Dovecot or just keep using pop3 from qmail? Does Dovecot update the roaming users.. Thanks Remo Ed McLain wrote: > I have to second, third, and fourth that. We moved from Courier to Dovecot > and the performance change was dramatic.
