I did see that and I guess I don't really see a template for
parameters needed in the configuration. Is there nothing on the Wiki
or anywhere that I could just use as a configuration file template? My
old 1.x config was very small and simple:
auth_mechanisms = plain login
mail_location = maildir:~/mail
passdb {
driver = pam
}
protocols = imap
service auth {
unix_listener auth-client {
group = postfix
mode = 0660
user = postfix
}
user = root
}
ssl_cert = </some/dir/cert.pem
ssl_key = </some/dir/key.pem
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
#protocol imap {
# imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep
I just had users authenticating via PAM, using TLS, and connecting on
IMAP only. The Wiki gives great info but doesn't help me generate a
dovecot.conf file from what I can see. It does a great job of
explaining all possible scenarios for many platforms. Is my
configuration above not correct for Dovecot 2.0.11?
