I'm working with a company that presently has a Linux mailserver which all users have (no shell) accounts on. Mail is accessed via pop3 with plaintext authentication. They want to move to a system using imap with SSL. I'm building them a new server. I'd like to offer both for a while so we can work the bugs out and migrate users over to SSL imap over time. It appears that in order to limit the imap connections to SSL I will need to run two separate instances of Dovecot. Is this correct?
I only have SSL or TLS connections enabled and I only have one copy of Dovecot running.
Let me rephrase that. I want to run plaintext authentication pop3 and ssl/tls only authentication imap. The 'allow plaintext authentication' configuration directive appears to be global, meaning I will need to run two instances of dovecot for a while. Is that correct, or can this be done on a single instance of dovecot?
I'm pretty sure if you set disable_plain_text_auth = no that you can log in to the appropriate ports with SSL or without.
Sorry I sent the first reply to you, wasn't paying attention.
