Hello everyone,
I was just looking the new efa 4, did fresh install and I saw there is a dovecot on it, but I don't understand for what purpose.
Is it necessary for the normal operation of efa, or I can remove it/disable it?
Also one more question: I saw port 587 open, I suppose that is for submissions, but I wouldn't use it, can I disable it and how?
Thank you.
Why dovecot?
Re: Why dovecot?
We block everything in the firewall and only open the ports we need.

Yes,
That is not bad approach also, everyone should configure they're firewall properly, but to answer my own question:
Dovecot is probably installed by dependency. We did not remove it, just disabled the service and everything is working properly.
