Hi All,
Spec:
Centos 6.3x64
Dovecot-2.0.9-5.el6.x86_64
Goal:
1) Inbound emails are delivered by Dovecot and the UID/GID is
determined by a local /etc/dovecot/users file.
2) I'd like to have IMAPS clients authenticate with Dovecot via LDAP.
Questions:
1) I've attempted to ensure that Dovecot will always use the local
password file for mail delivery as no actual password is needed. Then
the LDAP server for when the IMAPS email client connects. This appears to be
working as I expect, can anyone confirm/deny the below settings are
correct?
2) Is there a Dovecot architecture diagram/documentation anywhere?
