I have looked over the setup of the HOWTO for Fedora 7 Perfect Server. However, I do not see where Dovecot is setup. Is this handled by ISPconfig? The default Dovecot config file by Fedora has everything commented. If I do not want to install ISPconfig, is there another script/program that would allow me to enter in the user mailboxes for dovecot via webpage rather than the terminal?

Basically, I have a machine with a single domain that I need http, bind, ftp, and imap to setup for. I can simply have not done the IMAP before. I have worked with Postmap and mysql, so that is easily done.

Dovecot doesn't need to be configured. It's working out of the box. :)

So even with dovecot.conf completely commented out, Dovecot is still operational? I understand that it would startup, but I did not think it would any under useful control.

If that is the situation, what is your recommendation to create and maintain imap mailboxes on a small scale. I know about ISPconfig. However, I have only the one domain and about 30 boxes to manage. I could use ISPconfig and just use the one domain setup, but I did not know if there was something less complex for a single domain.

Thanks!
