Dovecot Debian package
======================
Please refer to http://wiki2.dovecot.org for the full documentation of this
package and its configuration.
Note that the default value for mbox_write_locks differs between Debian and
upstream Dovecot:
Debian: mbox_write_locks = "fnctl dotlock"
Dovecot: mbox_write_locks = "dotlock fnctl"
TLS setup
---------
TLS is enabled by default on new installations. Dovecot will use the
self-signed certificate provided by ssl-cert-snakeoil by default. The
certificate and key are accessed via symbolic links in /etc/dovecot/private.
If you wish to use your own certificates, feel free to replace the symbolic
links in /etc/dovecot/private with the actual certificate/key of your
preference, or place the certificate and key at the location of your preference
and update /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf accordingly.
dovenull group
--------------
Upstream recommends that for security's sake, the dovenull user should belong
to its own private group to which no one else belongs. Prior to 2.2.9-1, the
dovenull user was in the nogroup group which contains other users. This has
been rectified for new installs but upgraders should make the change
themselves like this:
# addgroup --system --group dovenull
# usermod -g dovenull dovenull
