Re: doveconf error upon boot up

[Stroller]

I've just started getting this error on Gentoo Linux.

I've been running dovecot-2.3.2.1 for some time and didn't notice it. I 
recently updated glibc from 2.26-r7 to 2.27-r6 and dovecot was hanging on 
startup.

Recompiling dovecot fixed the hang, but now I'm seeing the same error message 
as below.

 Hi!

   
   

 We are planning to add ocsp stapling support. At least Thunderbird


 supports must-staple attribute.

Hi, is there any more news on this?
   
   

   
   
Note I don't *personally* need it, but I provide custom dovecot RPMs for
   
   
CentOS 7 and someone asked how to do it. They want to use a certificate
   
   
that has the "must staple" feature.
   
   

   
   
(I'm personally more interested in DANE support in clients, which
   
   
dovecot doesn't need to do anything for, that's client specific)
   
  
  
   It has not veen forgotten, just has not been done yet. We are bundling it together with other changes related to certificate handling.
  
  
   
  
  
   I cannot provide any schedule for it yet.

If the TLS extension is supported, how does the admin configure the

I’m wondering if any MUAs will follow Google’s lead and insist on CT.

Hello!
I have installed a new dovecot server on a new server, using imap and 
Maildir.

The old Maildirs are accessible on a mounted disk.
I have tried to copy a few folders manually, by first creating the folder on 
the new server through the a-mail client, and then copying the contents of 
the cur folder from the old to the new. Works fine, but is a manual process. 
I'm looking for a way to script this.


if you do not change the names of the mailboxes, copy the whole Maildir 
directory from old to new. Dovecot updates all files. At the first access 
of a mailbox, you probably see a "broken" warning and the repair takes 
place.


The warning and repair can probably be forced by doveadm index.

If you already added ACLs or something like that, you probably need to 
backup some files from the new Maildir.


Is it safe to copy a template folder to a new folder, and then copy the cur 
folder contents? The files that Dovecot creates in an empty folder have 
different contents, will Dovecot update them when the user retrieves the 
mails in that folder?


Or, can I just make a symlink to the old Maildir somewhere?
