Historically this has taken advantage of the Pine "rsh mailmachine /etc/rimapd" ability to avoid the need for the password: pre-authentication etc. (Yes, we realise that 'rsh' has security issues.) But when I try making symlink "/etc/rimapd" point to "/usr/dovecot/sbin/dovecot" this fails: "dovecot --exec-mail imap" is the correct way to do this.
Could you document this in some prominent place, inside the package?
While this is shown on http://wiki.dovecot.org/CommandLine, I find it awkward to go online to check. While a Wiki is a good complement to share some cheats, may I ask for a complete documentation to ship with the Dovecot tarball? Some systems even have policies as to manual pages.
I find your attitude a bit demanding and unreasonable, Matthias, but maybe it is a language issue?
Certainly not a language issue. It is a question and a hint beyond my own fancy.
Dovecot is free software, so you are more than welcome to contribute to the project in any way you so choose, including documentation, so please, I'm sure Timo would appreciate the help.
I have in fact already reworked some documents in the Wiki, and writing Dovecot documentation isn't my prime directive. I am involved in own OSS projects -- one of them happens to get the messages out of Dovecot. Go figure.
