Ich habe #Alpine Linux in meinem Mail-Container von 3.21 auf 3.23 aktualisiert und damit auch #Dovecot auf Version 2.4.x - was eine Neukonfiguration bedeutet, da sich die Konfigdateien grundlegend geändert haben. War das ein Krampf. Meine bisherige Konfig war echt simpel: Mailuser = Systemuser […]
Because of the ridiculous decision from #dovecot, replication between two servers won't be possible anymore.
I have - against all advices - ran my own mail server since 2019. It has served me and my family pretty well over these years.
Now it's time to migrate. And that's painful.
It looks […]
TIL (at 3 am): Upgrading Dovecot is not fun when the behavior changes a lot. Took several hours to get it running identical to before. But at least I could remove some old configuration parts.

Got Dovecot converted to a 2.4.x configuration the other day on one of my servers (after Many hours). Docs still seem pretty bad for 2.4, so maybe this will help someone.

Huge plaudits to @qmanivannan.bsky.social #Greens for being the 1st politician to mention the #CCA closure, #ABI, & #EDI
sni mit #ispconfig ist ein wenig tricky, aber es funktioniert. Ab Version 3.3.1 von ISPConfig wird #dovecot unterstützt, und daher muss das Shell Script entsprechend angepasst werden.

Do you hate #passwords as much as I do?
Can't we have public key #authentication everywhere? Like in my #email client?
Yes we can! Without #authkeys!
Because #TLS supports not just #server side #certificates , but also the client can be verified.
My #Dovecot now logs me in without a password […]
Today at 1am I noticed that my mail server wasn't working well since 2 weeks and that lead to a fun quest about fixing it that took me a few hours.
I'm not working theses days as i'm starting a new job in 1 month so I had time to dig to fix it...
The visible symptom was that gmail wasn't able […]

Love updating my #ArchLinux #VServer.
Especially when there are Major Version Upgrades.
Like #postgresl so that my rssfeeder or #matrix Server stopped working.
And upgrading databases are always fun.
But even worse with #dovecot and anything mail/ #postfix related.
FUN two days
Vždycky jsem byl fanoušek polozapomenutých a umírajících technologií. Proto jest zde první verze mojí představy jak má vypadat #mailserver:

So, there's this server-side #email access tool called #dovecot. It's used for IMAP/POP (they're mail protocols, don't worry about it if you don't know what they are) mail pickup, and especially mail pickup for virtual users (users who have a _mailbox_ but no actual _account_ on the […]

By the 20th Century, the dovecot found itself on the grounds of a sewage treatment works. It was moved to its currently location (whcih is not particularly easy to access) in 2000 to make way for a new road.

Daldowie Dovecot (or doocot in Scotland) on Hamilton Road in the east of Glasgow. It was originally built in the 18th century in grounds of the Daldowie House Estate to house pigeons.

It seems the migration from #Dovecot 2.3 to 2.4 is sufficiently bad that not upgrading, EVER, is a much better bet.
Arbitrary changes, no backward compatibility.
I pity anyone using it with like, a million users.
And they don't like maildir any more. The one good thing DJB came out with.
Heads up if you use #Dovecot as local delivery agent with #Postfix and upgrade to Dovecot to 2.4 (e.g. because you go to #Debian trixie):
Dovecot 2.3 -> 2.4 has incompatible configuration changes. These cause the dovecot-lda to fail. That causes postfix to reject/bounce(!) incoming email until […]
I’ve come across several of these recently, but this is the first I’ve been able to get to, standing in the middle of a field. Helpfully, but rather sadly, it’s lost its roof, revealing its purpose: a doocot (a dovecote if you’re not Scottish).

Yesterday, I stumbled upon VitePress via the Dovecot documentation and I like the design. Will it be worth to migrate my existing documentations from WordPress? We’ll see … 🫣

This is gonna bite the #YunoHost maintainers when the successor of #Debian Trixie comes out. Per Arch: "The #dovecot 2.4 release branch has made breaking changes which result in it being incompatible with any <= 2.3 configuration file." doc.dovecot.org/latest/install…
Finally! I've managed to adapt the Dovecot configuration from my mail server guide to the new Dovecot 2.4 from Debian Trixie.You can find which parameters need to be adjusted (and a complete sample configuration) in my blog:“Migrating old Dovecot configuration to Dovecot 2.4 (Debian Trixie)” - […]
Endlich! Ich habe es geschafft, die Dovecot-Konfiguration aus meiner Mailserver-Anleitung auf das neue Dovecot 2.4 aus Debian Trixie anzupassen.
Welche Parameter anzupassen sind (und eine komplette Beispielkonfiguration) findet ihr in meinem Blog:
