Title: Changing the IMAP port
Post by: Gert on October 18, 2011, 01:17:08 PM: Hi, I am trying to change the port on which the imap server listens to. I have tried:

Code: [Select]
config setprop imap TCPPort 144 signal-event email-update
but it does not seem to work.
am I missing something?

I am curious why you want to do that. Care to explain?

Post by: Gert on October 18, 2011, 07:32:07 PM: because you cannot specify the port that crapberries connect to. I am using zarafa as mail server and I want to change the zarafa imap port to 143.

Post by: Gert on October 19, 2011, 10:18:16 AM: Yes I have, that's the only way you can specify the username if it is different from the email address but you still can't change the port.

Does anyone know how to change the port the imap server listens to on sme server? what is the db variable TCPPort for on imap?

AFAICT it is only used to configure the firewall to open that port, from your testing it seems the e-mailserver does not use that value.

Based on this (http://wiki.dovecot.org/RunningDovecot), you might get away with a custom template like this in /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/dovecot.conf/:
Code: [Select]
listen 144 listen_ssl 994
After that you should do the following:
Code: [Select]
signal-event console-save signal-event reboot

Post by: Gert on October 19, 2011, 01:31:36 PM: Thank you, I tried it but it did not work. I also tried the following:

protocol imap {
listen = *:144
ssl_listen = *:994
}

Dovecot in SME server does not use dovecot.conf. See /service/imap/run. It's only using the /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap component of dovecot, wrapped via tcpsvd, stunnel-tls and imapfront-auth. IOW, it doesn't use the TCP listening, TLS and authentication code from dovecot, only the imap backend code.

To change the port, you need PORT=xxx in /var/service/imap/config.
