Installing Prebuilt Binaries
In binary packages the configuration file is typically in /etc/dovecot.conf.
Debian
apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
For sarge you can get newer versions from [http://www.backports.org backports.org].
Fedora Core and RHEL (and CentOS/Scientific Linux/...)
Fedora Core includes dovecot since the first release, RHEL since RHEL4. Up to FC5 and RHEL4 the versions included are
RHEL4 |
dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1 |
Fedora Core 6 |
dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.2 (1.0.beta8) |
Fedora Core 5 |
dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5 (1.0.beta8) |
Fedora Core 4 |
dovecot-0.99.14-8.fc4 |
Fedora Core 3 |
dovecot-0.99.14-2.FC3 |
Fedora Core 2 |
dovecot-0.99.13-4.FC2 |
Fedora Core 1 |
dovecot-0.99.10.5-0.FC1 |
Doing a fresh install of Fedora Core 2 and later, Dovecot will be installed as the default IMAP server. If you're upgrading from Fedora Core 1, see /FedoraUpgrade.
If you don't have Dovecot already installed, use:
yum install dovecot
(replace yum with smart/apt/up2date if that's your depsolver)
To start the dovecot daemon and ensure it starts with each system boot run
service dovecot start chkconfig dovecot on
RPMs of 1.0 rc versions
You can get 1.0rc versions from [http://ATrpms.net/ ATrpms.net] under http://ATrpms.net/name/dovecot/ (packages are in the bleeding section). The RHEL4 packages should also work with CentOS.
Building your own rpms
If you want to rebuild the rpms using ATrpms' src.rpm, use this command (example for RHEL4/CentOS4):
# rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'atrelease() %1.el4.at' dovecot-1.0-0_10.99.beta7.el4.at.src.rpm
SUSE
Dovecot ships with SUSE for quite some time. Upto 10.0 SUSE shipped with 0.99.xx. SUSE 10.1 will have 1.0-beta3, including [:LDA:LDA support].
yast -i dovecot chkconfig dovecot on rcdovecot start
By default ssl disabled. so you need to create an SSL certificitate and than enable it in the dovecot config. For your private server you can do:
cd /usr/share/doc/packages/dovecot/ sh mkcert.sh sed -i -e 's|ssl_disable = .*|ssl_disable = no|' /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf rcdovecot restart
FreeBSD
cd /usr/ports/mail/dovecot; make install
OpenBSD
Use the OpenBSD Package system. For background information see the[http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html Packages and Ports FAQ].
Here's an example from a fresh OpenBSD 3.9 install where I've given my account sudo privileges and I'm using the default OpenBSD shell (ksh).
Set up your PKG_SRC environment variable by adding a line like the following to your .profile and then logging out and back in again to get the .profile re-read. (There's probably a more graceful way of doing this but this!)
$ export PKG_PATH=ftp://your.ftp.mirror/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/`machine -a`/
Install the package using pkg_add, with the -i option to allow you to choose which version of the package you want. Here's a case where I chose the later of the two postgresql ports, and this caused the packages system to prompt me for a choice on the postgresql client dependency.

Follow the advice about adding the lies to /etc/rc.local.
In the above case, you would also need a postgresql server somewhere - you could install it on the same machine using "pkg_add -i postgresql-server".
NetBSD and DragonFly
cd /usr/pkgsrc/mail/dovecot; make install
Mac OS X Darwinports
port install dovecot
