I would like to add an authentication service via TCP to dovecot.conf like
service auth {
inet_listener {
port = 12345
}
}
How do I do that permanently? I’m not familiar with the signal-event commands.
And which port would you suggest which will never be used by any other service?
Thanks for your assistance!
Create the templates-custom dir for dovecot:
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Create the file /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf/91auth
with following content:
service auth \{
inet_listener \{
port = 12345
\}
\}
Apply the configuration:
signal-event nethserver-mail-server-update
If you don’t want to connect from localhost you need to create a network service to open the port in the firewall.
I checked some of my Nethservers, port 12345 should be unused.
Here’s a list about used ports but it’s not complete.
