General Dovecot configuration 

dovecot__features

List of features which should be installed and enabled. See dovecot__features for details.

dovecot__features: [ 'imap', 'imaps', 'lmtp', 'sieve', 'quota' ]

dovecot__auth_mechanisms

List of enabled authentication mechanisms. Currently plain and login are supported.

dovecot__auth_mechanisms: [ 'plain', 'login' ]

dovecot__version

Variable which specifies what Dovecot version is installed on the host. It is defined via Ansible local facts and can be used in conditions to modify the configuration as needed.

dovecot__version: '{{ ansible_local.dovecot.version|d("0.0.0") }}'

User database/mailbox configuration 

dovecot__user_accounts

                            else [ "deny", "system" ] }}'

dovecot__deny_users

List of users for which mail access is disabled.

dovecot__deny_users: [ 'root' ]

dovecot__mail_location

Mailbox location. For mbox set something like mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u. For more information about the supported format, see the Dovecot Mail Location documentation.

dovecot__mail_location: 'maildir:~/Maildir'

dovecot__auth_default_realm

The default domain (realm) to add to the usernames that don't include one. Required to correctly point the clients to their mailbox directories.

dovecot__auth_default_realm: '{{ ansible_domain }}'

Virtual Mail 

These settings makes it possible to host multiple (virtual) domains and to manage mail for users which do not need to have a local system account.

dovecot__vmail_enabled

Whether the virtual mail support should be enabled.

dovecot__vmail_enabled: '{{ True if (dovecot__user_accounts |
                                     intersect(["mysql", "pgsql", "sqlite",
                                                "ldap", "passwdfile" ]))
                            else False }}'

dovecot__vmail_posix_user

A separate user vmail (Virtual Mail), which owns the mailbox directories and is used by the various mail daemons to store and access the stored email, can be used. On the one hand this prevents mail daemons components from accessing sensitive system directories, on the other hand it protects the mailboxes from external access. Only the vmail user (and root) are allowed to access the mailboxes.

dovecot__vmail_posix_user: '{{ ansible_local.postldap.vmail_posix_user
                               | d("vmail") }}'

                                | d("vmail") }}'

dovecot__vmail_base

The base directory where user mail directories are located, which also serves as the home directory for the dovecot__vmail_posix_user. This directory is used as the base for the virtual mail home directory paths and is used e.g. as a prefix for the mailHomeDirectory LDAP attribute if it's found in the LDAP lookups.

dovecot__vmail_base: '/var/vmail'

dovecot__vmail_home

The vmail home directory is a per-user directory where Dovecot can save user-specific files. Dovecot's home directories have nothing to do with system users' home directories. For more information, see Home Directories for Virtual Users.

DSync Settings 

                                    + dovecot__dsync_password_path
                                    + " length=32") }}'
