[Dovecot] using dovecot in Asterisk imap storage
Hello,
I am trying to use postfix/dovecot as mail server to be the imap storage for my voicemail system.For that I installed postfix and dovecot and trying to follow the instructions in this post http://etel.wiki.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php?title=Storing_Voicemail_on_an_IMAP_server&printable=yes
I should add a master user for Asterisk to your IMAP server that has access to all user's mailboxes and as per the instructions, I should edit auth section in dovecot.conf which I can't find! Is there something wrong or should I add this section by myselfAlso I don't have dovecot.masterusers, should I create it?
$/etc/dovecot$ /usr/sbin/dovecot -n# 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf# OS: Linux 3.2.0-31-virtual x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS mail_location = maildir:~/Maildirmanagesieve_notify_capability = mailtomanagesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihavepassdb { driver = pam}plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve}protocols = imap pop3 sieveservice auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix }}ssl_cert = was automatically rejected:%n%r}
Thanks.

ugh. it's hard to read your mail, some line breaks or new paragraphs would be useful.
I have yet to find one wiki that answers all questions. Expand your horizon:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers
FWIW, if you are using a recent version of freepbx you can configure imap storage in there on a per-user/extension basis, so you don't need to set up the masteruser...
Hello,Thanks for the link, I know how I can configure it from the wiki.. My question is can I add this section completely by myself?I can't find this section at all in dovecot.conf to modify it, and dovecot.masterusers file doesn't exist too in etc configuration files, should I create it too?because I couldn't find the section even commented gave me a doubt if it is the correct way to do it for this version, so I am posting here if someone can confirm this!Thanks.
