TITLE:

Plesk Dovecot Config contains obsoleted statements​

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:

Plesk 17.8, Ubuntu 14.04​

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

It seems that dovecot has been updated to 2.3.0.1

This version has some changes in ssl configuration which have not been updated yet in Plesk for Ubuntu 14.04, specifically:

doveconf: Warning: NOTE: You can get a new clean config file with: doveconf -n > dovecot-new.conf
doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/11-plesk-security-ssl.conf:2: ssl_protocols has been replaced by ssl_min_protocol
doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/11-plesk-security-ssl.conf:4: ssl_dh_parameters_length is no longer needed

It would be great if this could be cleaned up, thanks!​

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

Update all packages, then # service dovecot restart​

ACTUAL RESULT:

Service restarts but issues warnings​

EXPECTED RESULT:

Service should restart without warnings​

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

What happened to this bug? I couldn't find anything in the changelog or in the KB. I am still seeing this message on some of our older systems. What is the proposed way to deal with it?

 

[Kaspar]

I believe that in newer Plesk installations Dovecot doesn't utilize deprecated configuration anymore. As for older installations you can manually update the configuration. See example here: Resolved - Dovecot warnings

@Alexander Bien Ah, yes, these nasty extra lines. I see them here on some production machines, too. Actually, to get rid of them, you can simply edit the files that the log lines mention and apply the changes suggested, then restart the Dovecot service.
