problem after dovecot upgrade

1 Reply

hi folks!

after upgrading my server, i’ve had a little bit troubles with receiving emails.

Fatal: Plugin cmusieve not found from directory /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda

solution is simple! change this in your dovecot.conf:

protocol lda {
mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda
mail_plugins = sieve
sieve_extensions = +imapflags
log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver-info.log

so, change “cmusieve” into “sieve”! and don’t forget to flush your postqueue … there will be some queued emails 🙂

postfix and dovecot for more than one instance

hi folks!

you know, never touch a running system, but there was a little problem with my mailserver configuration. i have planned to organize my server with virtual maps. with postfix, dovecot and mysql there were no problems … everything was really nice and more or minor out of the box. only one thing went wrong – if you use certificates a lot of mailclients won’t be very happy, because for one instance you can pick only one certificate – so, if you connect to this instance for another virtual domain – 😕

so, it was necessary to configure another instance … if you want to have a step-by-step how-to look to this links: postfix and dovecot. it is very easy … copy the directories of configuration and /var/run and change some attributes, such as listen-address and the proper certificate files.

the most tricky part were the init.d scripts … postfix and dovecot

after some successful tests you can start the update-rc.d script …

thats all!
