=== Description ===
dovecot-extras is a contrib to bring 'sieve' support and IMAP acl (sharedmailbox) to dovecot, the imap server
=== Requirements ===
You need the [[Fws|firewall-services]] repo to install this contribs
=== Installation 9.x Only===
This contrib is currently held in the fws repository, so the following commands will install on your smeserver.
yum install --enablerepo=fws smeserver-dovecot-extras
You will then need to activate the database changes etc.
The 'official' way is to perform
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
or if you do not want to restart your computer
signal-event email-update
=== Configuration ===
====Sieve====
There is no panel in the server-manager, You have to use the db command
[root@sme9 ~]# config show sieve
sieve=service
TCPPort=4190
access=private
status=enabled
for example
config setprop sieve TCPORT 5190
signal-event email-update
you can change the IP listening (default localhost)
config setprop sieve Listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
signal-event email-update
====Shared Mailboxes====
ShareMailbox is an important feature.
To enable it:
db configuration setprop dovecot SharedMailbox enabled
signal-event email-update
When this feature is enabled, a special group named sharedmailbox (automatically created during install) will have:
* x permission on each user home (/home/e-smith/files/users/username) in order to access the Maildir folder (but it won't have any permission to read something else, like the home sub-folder)
* Full read / write access to the Maildir for everyone
This special group is empty (no member), so this has limited impact on the security of the server. Just be sure to never add any user in this group. (It's a system group, and won't appear in the server-manager, so you cannot add members easily).
When a user access its mailbox through the IMAP server, dovecot spawn a new process with the standard user privileges, plus the sharedmailbox group. So basically a user is member of this special group only through dovecot. This configuration allows shared mailbox at the filesystem level. Effective permissions between differents users are enforced by IMAP ACL extension. You need a client which support this (tested with SOGo and Thunderbird using this extension ).
Once enabled, you can grant different access level (read, post, delete, change flags, create sub folders etc.) to other users, or group of users on your IMAP folders.
=== Uninstall ===
yum remove smeserver-dovecot-extras
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
=== Bugs ===
