Hello,

It looks like ./build dovecot_conf will not take into consideration if IPv6 enabled in directadmin.conf

This will bring problems to customers using Google (and potentially other people) to sync their email (as pop3) as Google defaults to IPv6.

The workaround is to modify /etc/dovecot/conf/ip.conf and make the necessary changes and restart Dovecot service.

The error you will get while you don't make this change inside GMail is "Connection refused", it's difficult to find the problem as the logs will not show anything since there's nothing listening.

Thanks!

Thanks for the report.
Fixed on files1, allow up to 24 hours for rsync to the other mirrors.

I've added this to the CB2 code:
Code:
[TABLE="width: 1664"]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: #DDFFDD"]        if [ "${IPV6}" = "1" ]; then[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: #DDFFDD"]                echo "listen = *, ::" > /etc/dovecot/conf/ip.conf[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: #DDFFDD"]        fi[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
