login-proxy: If proxy destination is known to be down, fail immediately.
We'll use a simple rule: If connection failed or timed out more recently
than it succeeded AND there are currently no clients trying to connect to
it, fail it. Since the connect isn't failed unless there is at least one
client already trying to connect to it, the proxy notices immediately when
the server comes back up and then starts serving it again.

Build Instructions ------------------ For most people, the usual: ./configure make sudo make install is enough. This installs Dovecot under /usr/local. If you have installed some libraries into locations which require special include or library paths, you can give them in CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables. For example: CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib ./configure See ./configure --help for a list of all available configure options. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/CompilingSource for more information. Running ------- Rename configuration file: mv /usr/local/etc/dovecot-example.conf /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf Read through, and make needed modifications. Once everything is configured, there's two ways to start Dovecot: 1) Run "dovecot" binary which does everything. 2) Start it via inetd or similiar by executing "imap-login" or "pop3-login" binaries. If you're listening in SSL port, add --ssl parameter. See Wiki for more information about configuration. If you're in a hurry, go at least through http://wiki.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration SSL/TLS ------- Dovecot used to support both GNUTLS and OpenSSL libraries, but nowadays only the OpenSSL code is working.
