The dovecot manual section confuses me. It says: > By default, Dovecot does not need much configuration; the default > configuration object created by ‘(dovecot-configuration)’ will suffice > if your mail is delivered to ‘~/Maildir’. A self-signed certificate > will be generated for TLS-protected connections, though Dovecot will > also listen on cleartext ports by default. There are a number of > options, though, which mail administrators might need to change, and as > is the case with other services, Guix allows the system administrator to > specify these parameters via a uniform Scheme interface.
But later: > -- ‘dovecot-configuration’ parameter: string ssl? > SSL/TLS support: yes, no, required. <doc/wiki/SSL.txt>. Defaults > to ‘"required"’. Whew, that's a good default, I think. But wait, I'm confused... is it still listen on cleartext ports generally or not if the default is that ssl is "requied"? - Christine
