Dovecot. Autoclean email in Trash

I will give an example of automatic deletion of emails that are in the Trash and Junk/Spam folder, by the way, you can delete emails in other folders in the same way.

cPanel. Solution of the error “dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs)”

Recently, Dovecot was automatically updated on one of the servers with cPanel, and the PHP self-recording system stopped importing letters, that is, it could not connect to the mail server, in the log file /var/log/maillog I discovered the following:

Allow insecure connections to POP3 / IMAP iRedMail

In order to be able to connect to POP3 / IMAP without STARTTLS, you need to open the Dovecot configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

Edit the two parameters listed below:

disable_plaintext_auth=no
ssl=yes

To return the parameters of the secure connection to POP3S / IMAPS back:

disable_plaintext_auth=yes
ssl=required

After the changes in the Dovecot configuration, you need to restart it:

sudo /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
