[Dovecot] Customizing Sign-Off Message
This is probably a dumb question; however, I have never let a thing like that stop me before.
A user can configure Dovecot to give a customized greeting when it is accessed. Is there anyway to customize the message it displays when it terminates the session?

Sure, by modifying the sources.. :)
But what's the point? I don't know of any clients that show the logout message to users.
The greeting can be seen by people who connect to the IMAP/POP port to see what's running in there. Some people don't want to tell even that they're running Dovecot, so the greeting message customization is useful.

Actually, Becky Internet Mail will display the entire process, both POP and SMTP. I have noticed that a few POP servers sign off with phrases like: "+OK Sayonara", or things like that.
It is certainly not important. I was simply wondering if I had missed something in the configuration file.
Thanks for your reply.
Ciao!
