Dovecot Debian package
======================

Please refer to https://doc.dovecot.org/latest for the full documentation of this
package and its configuration.

Note that the default value for mbox_write_locks differs between Debian and
upstream Dovecot:
	Debian:  mbox_write_locks = "fnctl dotlock"
	Dovecot: mbox_write_locks = "dotlock fnctl"

TLS setup
---------

TLS is enabled by default on new installations. Dovecot will use the
self-signed certificate provided by ssl-cert-snakeoil by default. The
certificate and key are accessed via symbolic links in /etc/dovecot/private.

If you wish to use your own certificates, feel free to replace the symbolic
links in /etc/dovecot/private with the actual certificate/key of your
preference, or place the certificate and key at the location of your preference
and update /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf accordingly.

dovenull group
--------------

Upstream recommends that for security's sake, the dovenull user should belong
to its own private group to which no one else belongs.  Prior to 2.2.9-1, the
dovenull user was in the nogroup group which contains other users.  This has
been rectified for new installs but upgraders should make the change
themselves like this:

# addgroup --system --group dovenull
# usermod -g dovenull dovenull
