RE: [cpx] dovecote

["Brad Haymond" <bhaymond@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have converted my personal email accounts to use Dovecot with maildir.
I have had no major unexpected problems since installing it. One thing
to note is that if you have really large email boxes or IMAP folders,
they will take some time to convert to maildir (possibly hours, if you
have several GB).

Of course, there are a lot of considerations when moving to Dovecot,
since the vinstall converts the email format to maildir which stores
emails in individual files per email instead of 1 file per email account
or IMAP folder (as with the mbox format). Certain webmail programs, such
as iManager and Open Webmail, do not currently support the maildir.
Command-line email readers like mutt or Pine will need configuration
changes to work correctly with maildir. Any Procmail recipes or cron
jobs that directly manipulate mail files or folders will need to be
updated to correctly interface with maildir.

I believe if SpamAssassin and ClamAV were installed as part of a CPX
installation, you should not have to reinstall them. The Dovecot
vinstall should convert the CPX Procmail recipes and other related
settings for SpamAssassin and ClamAV for you.

One cool thing that I discovered about Dovecot is that it allows
multiple simultaneous connections to the same user through either POP or
IMAP, which is kinda cool.

Performance has increased dramatically since installing Dovecot and
converting to maildir.

I assumed that.

It seems to indicate that SA and CAV should be reinstalled regardless of
being default CPX installations. Did you find otherwise?

Has anyone ran into issues with Dovecot on the VPS?

That is CPX, not CPS... :)

I believe if you have installed SpamAssassin and ClamAV through the CPS
install, you should be fine. As the support pages suggest:

http://viaverio.com/index.cfm?page_id=894
http://viaverio.com/index.cfm?page_id=893

you can re-run the vinstalls for SpamAssassin and ClamAV after running
the
Dovecot vinstall (especially if you installed SpamAssassin and ClamAV
outside of CPX).

I see that CPX now supports Dovecot, but do SpamAssassin and ClamAV
support
this? Has anyone here installed Dovecot on a VPSv2 and/or a VPSv3 server
with CPX? How has this panned out for you? I have been interested in
this,
but dare not experiment.
