[Dovecot] different login_greeting for pop3 & imap?
Hi,
I have a tiny feature request for Dovecot: could it optionally have different login_greetings for pop3 and imap connections? e.g. I want it to say "Dovecot on pop.mycompany.com ready" on pop3 connections and "Dovecot on imap.mycompany.com ready" on imap connections. Would that be possible?
TIA,
GeertJust put
protocol pop3 { login_greeting = Hello POP
...}
protocol imap { login_greeting = Hello IMAP ...}
etc.
Best Wishes, Chris

Works like a charm, thanks!
Can I use the same split construction for any dovecot configuration setting? e.g. user/passwd databases? That'd be great (I want to make users with IMAP access a subset of the users with POP3 access).

Pretty much anything except authentication settings.

There are several other ways you could be able to do that. At least with SQL/LDAP it's simple. With passwd-file you could probably use /etc/passwd.%s where %s expands to imap or pop3.

A great feature that is!

I'm using PgSQL here. I'd modify the query for imap like "WHERE imap='Y'" (as the pop/imap users are in the same db, the imap users are just a subset). The %s variable is another option I could use somehow (I didn't know about it either ;-)).
Thanks!
