IMAP and POP3 Server Written Primarily with Security in Mind

Dovecot is an IMAP and POP3 server for Linux and UNIX-like systems, written primarily with security in mind. Although it is written in C, it uses several coding techniques to avoid most of the common pitfalls. Dovecot can work with standard mbox and maildir formats and is fully compatible with UW-IMAP and Courier IMAP servers as well as mail clients accessing the mailboxes directly. This is a wrapper package that will just handle common things for all versioned dovecot packages.

Versions, suites, and repositories

Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.

Checksums and observation dates

For an APT source, signature verification authenticates the repository metadata chain and the Packages index containing this source-reported artifact digest. It does not certify package safety.
