Compilation

Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 email server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security primarily in mind. Dovecot is an excellent choice for both small and large installations. It’s fast, simple to set up, requires no special administration and it uses very little memory.

Below you can find transcript of configuration and compilation session of Dovecot server and a script which I use for this purpose (as attachement).

root@feniks:~# su - soft
soft@feniks:~% cd dovecot
soft@feniks:~/dovecot% wget http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.13.tar.gz
soft@feniks:~/dovecot% gtar -zxf dovecot-1.2.13.tar.gz
soft@feniks:~/dovecot% cp drf_dovecot-1.2.6_conf drf_dovecot-1.2.13_conf
soft@feniks:~/dovecot% vi !$

In this configuration file I set up additional paths to OpenLDAP and SSL libraries and optimalization options (for SunStudio).

The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general
purpose cryptography library.
The project is managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its related documentation.
