Subject: Is the manual wrong about dovecot?
Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2022 14:42:15 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zgmxry08.fsf@dustycloud.org> (raw)
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"?
