How do I change postmaster iRedMail password?

Posted on September 19, 2014

Hey, I followed the setup guide to setting up iRedMail on my droplet, and when it came to setup the domain I put :

I know this is a late reply but you can just login into your server and generate a new password using doveadm

doveadm pw -s 'ssha512' -p 'new_password' #copy the output
mysql -u root -p
>use vmail;
>update mailbox set password='doveadm output' WHERE username='postmaster@domain';

With this you can check whether the email includes the dot and possible change the query to change the username, but this might have unknown consequences.
