minimal dovecot.conf for Ubuntu, Centos, and Debian

Here is a minimal doveconf for Ubutnu Maverick. It includes sasl. This also works for Debian including squeeze, and Centos. Debian and Centos use dovecot.pem for both ssl_cert_file and ssl_key_file.

protocols = imaps pop3 pop3s imap
mail_privileged_group = mail
disable_plaintext_auth = no
ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.key
auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb pam {
}
userdb passwd {
}
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
}
