So as a conclusion, can Dovecot be used without Problems on ispcp RC3 or are there still some minor bugs ?

[joximu]

no - it's a RC3, of course there are bugs!

If you follow the howto you'll have the best solution for this until now.

And this solution is not bad...

Perhaps you have to do some modifications to your own configuration but for me it's working fine (howto and minor adaptions - I changed the complete mailhandling to mysql).

But I would suggest that you should have some mailserver-knowledge when going through these changes. Even if this community is the most helpful community I ever found...

Kind regards, have a nice evening, Jens

Thanks Jens.

Well the How-To is quite simple to follow. Will there be any changes I've to do, after upgrading to ispCp RC4 or final ?

[joximu]

Maybe
we're working on a task which would simplify the sql statements...
but the "old" (actual) way should do it also after this change...

with the conf taken from the howto, i get a warning with me newest dovecot (upgraded today)

Code:

Warning: mail_extra_groups setting was often used insecurely so it is now deprecated, use mail_access_groups or mail_privileged_group instead

From the original dovecot.conf:
# Group to enable temporarily for privileged operations. Currently this is
# used only for creating mbox dotlock files when creation fails for INBOX.
# Typically this is set to "mail" to give access to /var/mail.
mail_privileged_group = mail

The setting from the ispcp was the old default and now the recomended is the mail_privileged_group wich should be fine unless you plan to use shared folders.

Is it possible to integrate dovecot with traffic/disk quota mechanisms?
