Scroll further down that page to the part about "dsync wrapper script for root SSH login (v2.2+)", but oops, you don't have 2.2. Sad. I guess you'll either have to upgrade or figure out another way to do this (probably out of Dovecot scope.) > Here is my dovecot -n: snip -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ -- system administration and consulting Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:
