From Nekoware

Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security primarily in mind. Dovecot is an excellent choice for both small and large installations. It's fast, simple to set up, requires no special administration and it uses very little memory.

[edit] Installing the package

Download and install the neko_dovecot-1.0.2 (version 1) tardist package from the Nekoware repository.

Installation of the precompiled binary package can be achieved using either Software Manager or inst: In the case of inst, all that's required is the command:

~ $ inst -f /path/to/neko_dovecot-1.0.2.tardist
install all
keep *.opt.src
go
quit

You will need "root" privileges to install the software.

A list of all files is installed by this package is available.

[edit] Package Dependencies

The following additional packages are required to run this software correctly:

• neko_openssl (version 9)

• neko_libiconv (version 3)

• neko_zlib (version 6)

• neko_mysql4 (version 4)

• neko_krb5 (version 1)

• neko_readline (version 2)

[edit] Package Incompatibilities

The following packages are marked as incompatible.

• No incompatibilities.

[edit] Package Layout

Default indicates whether the subsystem will be installed if "install standard" (or similar) is used. Order is used if any given subsystem must be installed before others.

[edit] Post installation Steps

We have a script running that creates the needed dovecot useraccount, group and installing the default ssl cert in pem format. For creating your own valide ssl vert you have to edit share/doc/dovecot/dovecot-openssl.cnf and run hare/doc/dovecot/mkcert.sh afterwards. If the cert doesnt match to the hostname your using the imap clients refuse to connect!

This build was compiled with support for PAM. So be sure that you have eoe.sw.pam installed. You can check it by using the versions command:

versions eoe.sw.pam I = Installed, R = Removed

  Name                 Date        Description

I eoe 07/22/2007 IRIX Execution Environment, 6.5.30 I eoe.sw 07/22/2007 IRIX Execution Environment Software I eoe.sw.pam 07/22/2007 Irix PAM Support

The dovecot.conf which can be found in the etc directory is slightly pre-configurated. Make your changes there and run "chkconfig neko_dovecot on" befor using the init.d start script.

[edit] Compiling

As for the majority of Nekoware packages, the 7.4.x release of SGI's MIPSpro Compiler suite has been used to build this package.

versions eoe.sw.pam
I = Installed, R = Removed

   Name                 Date        Description

The dovecot.conf which can be found in the etc directory is slightly pre-configurated. Make your changes there and run "chkconfig neko_dovecot on" befor using the init.d start script.

ERRORS/MISCELLANEOUS:

During compile you have to add -liconv and -lgen to various linklines. Also the suppport for quota under IRIX dont compile so you have to delete it from the Makefile in the plugin directory.

The mkcert.sh and dovecot-openssl.cnf are copied from the source tarball into the doc/dovcot directory. Edit the dovecot-openssl.cnf and point SSLDIR to our /usr/nekoware/ssl.
