DirectAdmin 1.676

I note that after the update to Dovecot 2.4, /etc/pam.d/dovecot was missing on my system, meaning that people who were accessing POP accounts belonging to usernames (as opposed to virtual email addresses) could not authenticate. I had to recreate it myself to restore previous functionality.

Solved Thread 'ssl_configuration=old causing dovecot crash'

Hello all,

Just a quick note, if you use the DirectAdmin setting:
Code: 
ssl_configuration=old

it will add the line:
Code: 
ssl_server_prefer_ciphers=yes

in:
/etc/dovecot/conf/ssl.conf

and prevent dovecot from starting..
as far as i can tell, the values for 'ssl_server_prefer_ciphers' should be 'client' (preferred) or 'server', not 'yes'

i set ssl_configuration to intermediate and that line no longer appears, and dovecot is happy again..
However, it could be a problem for people who need ssl_configuration set to old..
if that's the case, maybe override the value in...
