Hi,

I would like to achieve the following with my dovecot server:

• listen von FQDN 'mail.foo.example.com'/IP 'A' for imaps and pop3s with an SSL certificate for 'mail.foo.example.com'

• listen von FQDN 'mail.bar.example.com'/IP 'B' for imaps and pop3s with an SSL certificate for 'mail.bar.example.com'

I stumbled over a posting by Timo made in 2004 that got my attention: http://osdir.com/ml/mail.imap.dovecot/2004-07/msg00133.html

Now, what is the correct nesting/structure for the server, protocol, auth, dict and plugin section as well as any other (by default) "non-sectional" configuration options (like 'login_greeting')?

I failed to find *any* documentation references on this topic :-(

That's because the "server" feature is unsupported. I've no idea how it works nowadays.

:-( Well, for 2 IMAPS instances, I can get it to work without problems. When I add 2 other POP3s instances, it complains with some weird error that "IMAPS and IMAPS" are listening on the same address or something.

So there's just no simple way to do what you want unless you run multiple Dovecot installations. Or maybe you could use stunnel for this.

Yup, I was also thinking about stunnel. Multiple dovecot instances solely for this purpose is stupid from a management point of view.

v2.0 will have a rewritten config handling that will support this.

Well, it will be quite some time until v2.0, right? Too bad.

Thanks anyway :)
