Edit file File name : dovecot.conf Content :## Dovecot configuration file # NOTICE FOR CPANEL SYSTEMS # On cPanel servers this file is generated by combining a # template at /var/cpanel/templates/dovecot/main.default # and a datastore at /var/cpanel/conf/dovecot/main # # The template may be customized by making a copy of it at # /var/cpanel/templates/dovecot/main.local # similar to the way in which httpd.conf can be customized # # Direct edits of the rendered dovecot.conf file will not # be preserved when dovecot is updated. Use the # "Mailserver Configuration" interface in WebHostManager instead. # If you're in a hurry, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration # "doveconf -n" command gives a clean output of the changed settings.

These are exceptions to this though: No sections (e.g. namespace {}) # or plugin settings are added by default, they're listed only as examples. # Paths are also just examples with the real defaults being based on configure # options.

The default is empty, which means that Dovecot # tries to find the mailboxes automatically. This won't work if the user # doesn't yet have any mail, so you should explicitly tell Dovecot the full # location. # # If you're using mbox, giving a path to the INBOX file (eg. /var/mail/%u) # isn't enough. You'll also need to tell Dovecot where the other mailboxes are # kept. This is called the "root mail directory", and it must be the first # path given in the mail_location setting. # # There are a few special variables you can use, eg.: # # %u - username # %n - user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain # %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if there's no domain # %h - home directory # # See doc/wiki/Variables.txt for full list.

It'll eat your CPU and disk I/O. # dict: Keep quota stored in dictionary (eg. SQL) # maildir: Maildir++ quota # fs: Read-only support for filesystem quota # # Quota limits are set using "quota_rule" parameters, either in here or in # userdb. It's also possible to give mailbox-specific limits, for example: # quota_rule = *:storage=1048576 # quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=102400 # User has now 1GB quota, but when saving to Trash mailbox the user gets # additional 100MB. # # Multiple quota roots are also possible, for example: # quota = dict:user::proxy::quota # quota2 = dict:domain:%d:proxy::quota_domain # quota_rule = *:storage=102400 # quota2_rule = *:storage=1048576 # Gives each user their own 100MB quota and one shared 1GB quota within # the domain. # # You can execute a given command when user exceeds a specified quota limit. # Each quota root has separate limits. Only the command for the first # exceeded limit is excecuted, so put the highest limit first. # Note that % needs to be escaped as %%, otherwise "% " expands to empty. # quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 # quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 quota_exceeded_message = "Mailbox is full / Blocks limit exceeded / Inode limit exceeded" # ACL plugin. vfile backend reads ACLs from "dovecot-acl" file from maildir # directory. You can also optionally give a global ACL directory path where # ACLs are applied to all users' mailboxes. The global ACL directory contains # one file for each mailbox, eg. INBOX or sub.mailbox. cache_secs parameter # specifies how many seconds to wait between stat()ing dovecot-acl file # to see if it changed. acl = vfile:cache_secs=86400 # To let users LIST mailboxes shared by other users, Dovecot needs a # shared mailbox dictionary. For example: #acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes # Convert plugin. If set, specifies the source storage path which is # converted to destination storage (mail_location) when the user logs in. # The existing mail directory is renamed to <dir>-converted. #convert_mail = mbox:%h/mail # Skip mailboxes which we can't open successfully instead of aborting. #convert_skip_broken_mailboxes = no # Skip directories beginning with '.' #convert_skip_dotdirs = no # If source storage has mailbox names with destination storage's hierarchy # separators, replace them with this character. #convert_alt_hierarchy_char = _ # Trash plugin. When saving a message would make user go over quota, this # plugin automatically deletes the oldest mails from configured mailboxes # until the message can be saved within quota limits. The configuration file # is a text file where each line is in format: <priority> <mailbox name> # Mails are first deleted in lowest -> highest priority number order #trash = /etc/dovecot-trash.conf # Expire plugin. Mails are expunged from mailboxes after being there the # configurable time. The first expiration date for each mailbox is stored in # a dictionary so it can be quickly determined which mailboxes contain # expired mails. The actual expunging is done in a nightly cronjob, which # you must set up: # dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool #expire = Trash 7 Spam 30 #expire_dict = db:/var/lib/dovecot/expire.db # Lazy expunge plugin. Currently works only with maildirs. When a user # expunges mails, the mails are moved to a mailbox in another namespace # (1st). When a mailbox is deleted, the mailbox is moved to another namespace # (2nd) as well. Also if the deleted mailbox had any expunged messages, # they're moved to a 3rd namespace. The mails won't be counted in quota, # and they're not deleted automatically (use a cronjob or something). #lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ .DELETED/ .DELETED/.EXPUNGED/ } Save
