Please don't make it harder for others to help you...
Just paste the output in the body of the email. Some (many?) people won't click on links like that from people they don't know...
My apologies, I figured at the time that it would be better to not make these emails crazy long, but I guess they can be just as easily snipped... Here is my conf:
Dovecot configuration file
If you're in a hurry, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration
"doveconf -n" command gives a clean output of the changed settings. Use it
instead of copy&pasting files when posting to the Dovecot mailing list.
'#' character and everything after it is treated as comments. Extra spaces
and tabs are ignored. If you want to use either of these explicitly,
put the
value inside quotes, eg.: key = "# char and trailing whitespace "
Default values are shown for each setting, it's not required to uncomment
those. 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 paths listed here are for configure --prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
Enable installed protocols
!include_try /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/*.protocol
A comma separated list of IPs or hosts where to listen in for
connections.
"*" listens in all IPv4 interfaces, "::" listens in all IPv6 interfaces.
If you want to specify non-default ports or anything more complex,
edit conf.d/master.conf.
#listen = *, ::
Base directory where to store runtime data.
#base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
Name of this instance. In multi-instance setup doveadm and other commands
can use -i <instance_name> to select which instance is used (an
alternative
to -c <config_path>). The instance name is also added to Dovecot processes
in ps output.
#instance_name = dovecot
Greeting message for clients.
#login_greeting = Dovecot ready.
Space separated list of trusted network ranges. Connections from these
IPs are allowed to override their IP addresses and ports (for logging and
for authentication checks). disable_plaintext_auth is also ignored for
these networks. Typically you'd specify your IMAP proxy servers here.
#login_trusted_networks =
Sepace separated list of login access check sockets (e.g. tcpwrap)
#login_access_sockets =
With proxy_maybe=yes if proxy destination matches any of these IPs,
don't do
proxying. This isn't necessary normally, but may be useful if the
destination
IP is e.g. a load balancer's IP.
#auth_proxy_self =
Show more verbose process titles (in ps). Currently shows user name and
IP address. Useful for seeing who are actually using the IMAP processes
(eg. shared mailboxes or if same uid is used for multiple accounts).
#verbose_proctitle = no verbose_proctitle = yes
Should all processes be killed when Dovecot master process shuts down.
Setting this to "no" means that Dovecot can be upgraded without
forcing existing client connections to close (although that could also be
a problem if the upgrade is e.g. because of a security fix).
#shutdown_clients = yes
If non-zero, run mail commands via this many connections to doveadm
server,
instead of running them directly in the same process.
#doveadm_worker_count = 0
UNIX socket or host:port used for connecting to doveadm server
#doveadm_socket_path = doveadm-server
Space separated list of environment variables that are preserved on
Dovecot
startup and passed down to all of its child processes. You can also give
key=value pairs to always set specific settings.
#import_environment = TZ
Dictionary server settings
Dictionary can be used to store key=value lists. This is used by several
plugins. The dictionary can be accessed either directly or though a
dictionary server. The following dict block maps dictionary names to URIs
when the server is used. These can then be referenced using URIs in format
"proxy::<name>".
dict { #quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext #expire = sqlite:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext }
Most of the actual configuration gets included below. The filenames are
first sorted by their ASCII value and parsed in that order. The
00-prefixes
in filenames are intended to make it easier to understand the ordering.
!include conf.d/*.conf
A config file can also tried to be included without giving an error if
it's not found:
!include_try local.conf

Thanks!
I took what you said literally, please let me know if you'd like to see any of the other Debian config files.
Joe Auty <mailto:joe@netmusician.org> September 22, 2012 3:57 PM Hello,
I'm seeing a lot of these in my /var/log/messages in Debian Squeeze, I suspect this might be causing performance issues. Any suggestions what I can try to fix this?
I'm using the 2.1.10 packages obtained with the following in my sources.list:
deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-2.1 main
I need to use Dovecot 2.1.x because I need to support handling multiple SSL certs.
