Dovecot

I installed a mail server with Fedora Core 4. The MTA package was of course Sendmail. However, there was no pop or imap daemons associated with FC4.

According to some experienced FC users, dovecot should be used. I followed instructions from web links and do a "yum install dovecot". The installation was successful but dovecot failed to start with the error message :

Starting Dovecot Imap:Fatal:Can't use SSL certificate /etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot.pem;Permission denied


Wooo.. dovecot's default settings come with SSL certifcate. After changing ssl_enable = yes to no in /etc/dovecot.conf, dovecot started up successfully.
