Docker-mailserver: "unable to save new password"

[xiao1201]

Hi I have installed poppassd inside the container and enabled the poppassd plugin in rainloop, but when I tried to changed the password from user's password page, I got "unable to save new password" error message. Any ideas please?

Well, this is outside of my territory, perhaps you should ask the poppassd or rainloop projects? A qualified guess is that the plugin requires a SQL database though. This project stores users and passwords in configuration files. It is likely that poppassd can't handle that.

hi @erik-wramner , thanks for the reply. So the only way to change an email account password is to use the ./setup.sh email update command by the admin?

[erik-wramner]

Well, you could run the setup.sh command from a script that is called from a web front. Or you could directly modify the postfix-accounts.cf file in the mounted folder from a web front. Nothing like that is included out of the box as we don't include a web server though. See #828 for inspiration.

@erik-wramner , I see, thanks for the reply.
