Hi,
I'm setting up dovecot pop3 deamon for a small set of mailbox.
I want to be able to set a small set of mailbox simply, so I've used
"passdb passwd-file" + virtual mailboxes with "userdb static".
My problem is that it seems that postfix accept and create mailbox for
every address I post. It is configured to use local delivery through
dovecot's deliver. .
dovecot --version
1.0.10
I've followed documentation at
http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall + LDA
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix
I've restarted all from scratch follow the link above, it works!
I don't know exactly where is was buggy...
I've:
dovecot.conf
# Remove pop3 things if you don't want them
protocols = pop3
# It's nice to have separate log files for Dovecot. You could do this
# by changing syslog configuration also, but this is easier.
log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-info.log
# Disable SSL for now.

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv

# Authentication configuration:
auth_verbose = yes

passdb passwd-file {
args = /etc/dovecot/passwd
}
userdb static {
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%u
}
socket listen {
# Note that we're setting a master socket. SMTP AUTH for Postfix and
Exim uses client sockets.
master {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
# Auth master socket can be used to look up userdb information for
# given usernames. This probably isn't very sensitive information
# for most systems, but still try to restrict the socket access if
possible.
mode = 0600
user = vmail # User running deliver
#group = mail # Or alternatively mode 0660 + deliver user in this
group
}
}
}
# needed or deliver will fail with :
