Hello there,
I am new to Dovecot and I am using version1.2.12. I have included the dovecot -n output:
root@ubuntuSnoopBear:/home/scott# dovecot -n \# 1.2.12: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 10.10 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 pop3s listen: 995 ssl_key_password: nerdie1tech login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: pilotalknet.dyndns.org ready. mail_privileged_group: mail mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd
What I need to ensure is that everything is correctly set for a pop3s server. I also need to know how to tell someone how to configure their mail client as the pop3 and smtp server. For example do I say pop.pilotalknet.ldyndns.org and smtp.pilotalknet.dyndns.org? The hostname is:
pilotalknet.dyndns.org
also is it still possible to check the working of the connection via a telnet connection doing:
telnet pilotalknet.dyndns.org:995
or do I have to do something different? what I am achieving with the telnet connection is to ensure the pop server comes up with the greeting from dovecot.
Thanks much.
