Is there a way to make custom Dovecot settings persist through ISPConfig's dovecot.conf rewrites?

Like, for example, 'plugin' settings.

Why I ask: Some of my sieve rules require the editheader plugin, which has to be activated and configured in either /etc/dovecot.conf or /etc/dovecot/conf.d/*.conf, for example 90-plugins.conf. (This is a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS & Apache based 'Perfect Server' setup.)

As far as I can see, dovecot.conf can and will be overwritten by ISPConfig at times (the one time it did so lately was the ISPConfig update to 3.1.12).

Any /etc/dovecot/conf.d/*.conf entry for the 'plugin' section, on the other hand, will be ignored, as there's already a 'plugin' section in dovecot.conf – which seems to have precedence over anything I try to configure in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/*.conf.

Is there some way out of this catch-22 which I failed to see?

Cheers,

P.S.: Sorry, I wanted to post this in ISPConfig - Installation/Configuration, not Linux - Installation/Configuration. Perhaps someone, if they, too, feel that's where it belongs, can move the posting?

 

Ispconfig uses /etc/dovecot.conf and not /etc/dovecot/conf.d/*
You can copy install/tpl/debian6_dovecot2.conf.master from the archive to to /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf-custom/install/debian_dovecot2.conf.master and customize this file.

 

Excellent, thank you!

Is there, perhaps, a document somewhere that states which 'real' files those templates are related to? I guess amavisd_user_config.master is what becomes /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user?

 

Is that correct in that the target file starts with debian_, not debian6_? I just noticed I had named it debian6_*, after I had found myself without some of my Sieve rules again after upgrading ISPConfig to 3.1.13...
