==== Automatically Built Packages ==== For those of you who like to live on the edge, there is a Debian-testing repository available with hourly updates from recent Dovecot-1.1 changes in the Mercurial repositories. It automatically releases a new set of packages of it notices any changes in any of the repositories. The packages are built with dovecot-sieve-1.1 and dovecot-1.1-managesieve included. Currently, it only provides binaries for the i386 architecture and no source packages are available. The small Debian-specific patches that are included in the official Debian packages are currently not included for this repository. Also, the packages are currently not PGP signed. Needless to say: do '''NOT''' use this repository for systems that need to be '''STABLE'''. Usage should be similar to the backports.org repository (see explanation above), but add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto main For questions, comments and requests, you can send an e-mail to Stephan Bosch (stephan at rename-it dot nl). |
Installing Prebuilt Binaries
In binary packages the configuration file is typically in /etc/dovecot.conf.
Debian
apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
For stable you can get newer versions from [http://www.backports.org backports.org] (currently 1:1.0.9-1~bpo40+1). Follow the instructions from http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions and then run the above apt-get install command.

Ubuntu
apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
The current release Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" (from 18th October 2007 till April 2008) includes Dovecot 1.0.5.
Fedora and RHEL (and CentOS/Scientific Linux/...)
Fedora includes dovecot since its first release, RHEL since RHEL4. The versions included in the still supported releases are
RHEL5 |
dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 (1.0.rc15) |
RHEL4 |
dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4 |
Fedora 8 (rawhide) |
dovecot-1.0.2-13.5.fc8 (1.0.2) |
Fedora 7 |
dovecot-1.0.1-12.fc7 (1.0.1) |
Fedora Core 6 |
dovecot-1.0.1-4.fc6 (1.0.1) |
For historical reference these were the versions found in older Fedora releases until they reached their EOL:
Fedora Core 5 |
dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.3.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 newer Dovecot and Sieve packages
You can get the latest stable dovecot package and the package for the sieve plugin from [http://ATrpms.net/ ATrpms.net] under http://ATrpms.net/name/dovecot/ and http://ATrpms.net/name/dovecot-sieve/. The RHEL packages will also work with CentOS/Scientific Linux and any other RHEL clone.
Building your own rpms
There are situations where the supplied packages don't suit your needs, for example when there is a patch you want to add, or perhaps the packages have not yet updated to the latest versions as fast as you need them.
Note that the following only discusses plain rebuilds of a src.rpm. The true work is in modifying the src.rpm which is out of the scope of this wiki. Use standard rpm procedures to extract the contents of the src.rpm, edit the specfile, add patches, update sources etc. The following will assume you have crafted a src.rpm similar to the one at ATrpms'.
If you want to rebuild the rpms using ATrpms' src.rpm or a derivative, use this command:
# rpmbuild --rebuild dovecot-*.src.rpm
This works on Fedora Core w/o any further modifications.
If you are on a platform with an rpm version older that 4.4 (for example RHEL4 and RHEL3) then create the following file (or add the contents to /etc/rpm/macros or ~/.rpmmacros)
- /etc/rpm/macros.bcond
# /etc/rpm/macros.bcond # macros used in rpm 4.4, not available in previous versions %bcond_with() %{expand:%%{?_with_%{1}:%%global with_%{1} 1}} %bcond_without() %{expand:%%{!?_without_%{1}:%%global without_%{1} 1}} %with() %{expand:%%{?with_%{1}:1}%%{!?with_%{1}:0}} %without() %{expand:%%{?without_%{1}:0}%%{!?without_%{1}:1}}
There are also special switches for older platforms:
--without inotify Don't try to use inotify --with forcequota2 For the use of quota version 2 (if otherwise wrongly detected)
For example on RHEL4 you need
# rpmbuild --rebuild --without inotify --with forcequota2 dovecot-*.src.rpm
For RHEL3 you only need (on RHEL3 quota headers are not broken)
# rpmbuild --rebuild --without inotify dovecot-*.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 that were available on my repository, and this caused the packages system to prompt me for a choice on the postgresql client dependency.
$ sudo pkg_add -i dovecot Password: Ambiguous: dovecot could be dovecot-1.0.beta3 dovecot-1.0.beta3-ldap dovecot-1.0.beta3-ldap-mysql-postgresql dovecot-1.0.beta3-mysql dovecot-1.0.beta3-postgresql dovecot-1.0.beta8 dovecot-1.0.beta8-ldap dovecot-1.0.beta8-ldap-mysql-postgresql dovecot-1.0.beta8-mysql dovecot-1.0.beta8-postgresql Choose one package 0: <None> 1: dovecot-1.0.beta3 2: dovecot-1.0.beta3-ldap 3: dovecot-1.0.beta3-ldap-mysql-postgresql 4: dovecot-1.0.beta3-mysql 5: dovecot-1.0.beta3-postgresql 6: dovecot-1.0.beta8 7: dovecot-1.0.beta8-ldap 8: dovecot-1.0.beta8-ldap-mysql-postgresql 9: dovecot-1.0.beta8-mysql 10: dovecot-1.0.beta8-postgresql Your choice: 10 Choose dependency for dovecot-1.0.beta8-postgresql: 0: postgresql-client-8.1.4 1: postgresql-client-8.1.3 Your choice: 0 dovecot-1.0.beta8-postgresql:libiconv-1.9.2p3: complete dovecot-1.0.beta8-postgresql:postgresql-client-8.1.4: complete dovecot-1.0.beta8-postgresql: complete --- dovecot-1.0.beta8-postgresql ------------------- Files to facilitate the generation of a self-signed certificate and key for Dovecot have been installed: /etc/ssl/dovecot-openssl.cnf (Edit this accordingly!) /usr/local/sbin/dovecot-mkcert.sh If this has been or will be accomplished by other means, use the following paths for the files: /etc/ssl/dovecotcert.pem /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem If you wish to have Dovecot started automatically at boot time, simply add the follow lines to /etc/rc.local: if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/dovecot ]; then echo -n ' dovecot'; /usr/local/sbin/dovecot fi $
Follow the advice about adding the lines 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
Mandriva 2007.0 and 2007.1
Install with rpm or urpmi.
urpmi dovecot
The Mandriva default locations where executables, doc etc. are installed, are sometimes different from other platforms. The default rpm (created from the source rpm as described in the 'Compiling Dovecot from sources' chapter) uses the following locations:
/usr/lib/dovecot/ to store executable files (imap-login, imap, etc.) /usr/sbin/ for dovecot and dovecotpw /usr/share/dovecot/ for .la and .lo files /usr/share/dovecot/imap/, /usr/share/dovecot/lda/, /usr/share/dovecot/pop3/ hold symlinks to the files one level up /usr/share/doc/dovecot-1.0.rc14/ to store template .conf, .cnf, .pl, README, etc. files /etc to store the live dovecot.conf /etc/ssl/dovecot/[certs,private]/ to store the OpenSSL certificate and key
Arch Linux
pacman -Sy extra/dovecot
