Hi,
Mine is a very simple, personal installation of dovecot-2.3.21.1_1 running on FreeBSD 14.2. However, while my current config works as intended, I'm far from being an expert.
I've been through my current dovecot.conf looking for things that need to be changed for a future upgrade to 2.4. Some things appear to be relatively painless.
For example: Change all occurrences of %u to %{user}
Replace "disable_plaintext_auth = no" with "auth_allow_cleartext = yes"
userdb and passdb being given names - e.g.,
from:
userdb {
args = username_format=%u /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users
driver = passwd-file
}
to:
userdb users {
args = auth_username_format=%{user} /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users
driver = passwd-file
}Where I'm confused is the replacement of mail_location. Currently this is:
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/users/%u
Should this be changed to:
mail_driver = maildir mail_path = /var/mail/users/%{user}
Hope I have given enough information. Thanks for any help provided.
BTW, while researching, I think I found a small typo here: https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.0/core/config/users/virtual.html#usernames-and-d... Second para: "domain%{user}ser"
