    Hello , if anyone has insight into this dilemma, would be appriciated.

    Have ispconfig 3 on centos 6.5 vps, wordpress site installed from APS installer.
    Forgot pass word emails, php mail() emails are sitting in the mail queue.

    netstat -tap has these kinds of entries for smtp

    tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 7456/pure-ftpd (SER
    tcp 0 0 *:domain *:* LISTEN 24186/named

    please run:

    touch /etc/mailman/virtual-mailman
    postmap /etc/mailman/virtual-mailman
    /etc/init.d/postfix restart

    touch: cannot touch `/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman': No such file or directory

    but find mailman gives /var/lib/mailman

    I ask should I redo with that directory addition? didn't want to risk a deeper mess up
    touch /var/lib/mailman/virtual-mailman ?

    root@mydomain ~]# service dovecot restart

    okay so digging further I found that dovecot 2.0.9 , my version with ispconfig doesn't support the ssl_protocols. Do i want to update dovecot and edit some ispconfig 3 files? (Centos 6.5)
     
  9. hellofantastic

    or comment out the ssl protocols line and look at other apache configs to secure against a poodle bite?

    I think its not a good idea to try to update to a newer dovecot version on your server, so better just comment out that line in dovecot.conf. The new ispconfig version that had been released today recognizes dovecot versions better and will not activate that option for versions < 2.1.

    okay commented out emails came from site came in... how concerned should I be about the poodle attack business, I am launching a production site this week on this vps. And thank you for all your help.
