debops.dovecot default variables

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

User account lookup mechanisms, see dovecot__user_accounts for details.

dovecot__user_accounts: '{{ [ "deny", "ldap" ]
                            if dovecot__ldap_enabled|bool
                            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") }}'
dovecot__vmail_posix_group

Virtual Mail POSIX group.

dovecot__vmail_posix_group: '{{ ansible_local.postldap.vmail_posix_group
                                | 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.

dovecot__vmail_home: '{{ dovecot__vmail_base ~ "/%d/%n" }}'

DSync Settings

Dovecot supports master/master replication using dsync. For more information, see DSync Replication.

                            dovecot__dsync_port }}'
dovecot__dsync_password_path

Directory on the Ansible Host where the dsync password will be stored. By default it's stored relative to the secret/ directory in the DebOps project directory. See the debops.secret role for more details.

dovecot__dsync_password_path: '{{ "dovecot/credentials/dsync.password" }}'
dovecot__dsync_password

Password to use for the dsync protocol. Must be the same on both hosts of a replica pair.

dovecot__dsync_password: '{{ lookup("password", secret + "/"
                                    + dovecot__dsync_password_path
                                    + " length=32") }}'
