Hello,

I've read in your ChangeLog:
"LMTP (port 24) and managesieve (port 4190) services are now listening on only localhost (127.0.0,1 and ::1) by default."

But could you please explain me how to enable managesieve port 4190 please?
To permit to RainLoop webmail to access to the script, from another server.

And by the way, I suppose if you have set it to localhost only, it's for security reasons, so if you could quickly explain me the risks, this will be perfect! smile

Regards

Open /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, comment out 'address =' line in setting block below, then restart dovecot service. it will listen on all available addresses.

service managesieve-login {                                                                                                    
    inet_listener sieve {                                                          
        # Listen on localhost (ipv4)                                               
        address = 127.0.0.1                                                        
        port = 4190                                                                
    }                                                                              
}

iRedMail installs webmail on localhost, so no need to allow public access. I suggest you update firewall rules to allow access from RainLoop server and reject access from other IP addresses.

Thanks a lots Zhang,

I followed your advice and added the rule inside the /etc/default/iptables file!
This works fine, perfect!
