Imapsync bad option

MaxDau

I I have tried a few parameters in imapsync, but most of them are not accepted. Even –dry is refused with the message “bad option dry”.
Any ideas?

I’m in the same boat, no parameters work, always “bad option …”
Any help appreciated…

Mailcow uses a whitelist for allowed imapsync parameters, you can find it here:
https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/blob/3028a18a37db51d60ca92e8b9a55f77efdb2b37a/data/web/inc/vars.inc.php#L237

This clarifys things indeed. Unfortunately there is not my needed f1f2 option in the whitelist, pitty.
Do you know where one could suggest adding other parameters to the whitelist?

Depending on your use case you could also simply change the whitelist for your local mailcow installation.

You can add a data/web/inc/vars.local.inc.php file, copy the $IMAPSYNC_OPTIONS part from vars.inc.php and add the parameters you need.

I guess the original whitelist is there for a reason, I remember reading about possible security issues with some of the imapsync parameters.
