Hi all,

This is my first message to the list.

I've been experimenting with running dovecot on my unRAID server (basically, a parity-protected array of disks, running on a slackware 13.1 platform).

Someone on the unRAID forum had built a binary distribution of dovecot 1.1.20 and I got this up and running without too much trouble.

Today, I've been building the latest dovecot release (2.0.12) and getting this up and running. My biggest problem has been reconstructing the configuration file but, after a few diversions, I'm now back up and running, with access to my mail once more.

However, I'm just a little bit miffed that I can't get rid of this warning.

My configuration: root@Tower:~# doveconf -n # 2.0.12: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: SSL is disabled because global ssl=no, ignoring ssl=yes for subsection # OS: Linux 2.6.36.2-unRAID i686 Slackware 13.1.0 fuse.shfs disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = maildir:/mnt/user/Maildir/%u passdb { args = /etc/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap service auth { user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } } ssl = no userdb { args = /etc/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } root@Tower:~#

Can someone point me to where the (implicit?) ssl=yes is coming from?

In the meantime I will have a play at mail fetching, comparing dumping the mails straight into maildir, with using the dovecote lda.

Thanks for any advice.
