[Dovecot] blank forwarded messages
by lenny＠edpausa.com 02 May '06

02 May '06

Just switched from uw to dovecot ( latest beta3 + lda ) on production system and everything seems fine except... There's some strange problem with forwarding messages from thundebird, the body of the forwarded message is always completely blank - 0 byte size. Forwarding from squrrel, horde, eudora and outlook works fine. Client setup on thunderbird installs hasn't changed a bit. I'm still investigating why this is happening. Has anyone run into this ?

Rich, We're also in the process of setting up a GFS/Cluster with CentOS. I'm hopeful this will eliminate some of the issues. I'll keep everyone posted. Steve > Hi Steve, > > We'll give that a try.

[Dovecot] FreeBSD 6 - DirectAdmin - dovecot
by Floris van den Berg 02 May '06

02 May '06

Since version 1.0 I experience strange problems with dovecot. At the moment I have beta 7 installed. I use FreeBSD 6.0. * Pop3 works * Imap works, but only when i telnet to localhost * In all other cases I can't connect to the server. Tried with squirrelmail, uebimau and thunderbird. Squirrelmail after a long time waiting: "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server." Happens too with firewall switched off. Happens too when i restart exim and dovecot. /var/log/maillog mentions something about Inactivity. When i do tail -f /var/log/maillog and try to connect using squirrel, i see hardly any imap messages fly by, except 'inactivity'. Any ideas? Floris

Timo, I noticed this core dump from imap the other day from one of our users; there was no assertion. GDB output attached, I have saved the core if you need more information. Jeff Earickson Colby College

Hi, we run a dovecot mail-server with about 50GB of e-mail and at the moment users are responsebil for macking ther own backup of e-mails. But I'd like to have also a backup of the mail, beckause not all users do ther backups ... We use mbox-format-mailboxes. Any ideas how to backup the mailboxes without stopping the server, doing a backup to disk/tape/...? Thanks for any ideas ant tips!

[Dovecot] mail messages moving between mailfolders
by taras＠elantech.ru 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hello to all! I'm using IMAP-based antispam self-learning. I have a folder "spam" in each Maildir in which I place spam-tagged messages during delivery. If antispam filter makes mistake, user can drag'n'drop message to/from "spam" folder. I running perl-script periodicaly and retrain spam-filter (dSpam). Now I must scan all messages, but it's not a good practice (server load depends from mail volume, not user activity) so I want add a "hook" to IMAP-server, i.e. I want server to report me something like "date: file1 -> file2" via any IPC (socket?) or log file while user moves messages across different mail folders. Overload from antispam retraining will be function from user activity with such feature added. P.S.: Now I'm using courier, but want to try dovecot. Sorry for bad English. With respect, Taras. -- С уважением, Савчук Тарас "ЭЛАНТЕК" +7 (495) 589 68 81 +7 (926) 575 22 11 http://www.elantech.ru

[Dovecot] fedora core 4 + mysql 5 + dovecot
by dave 02 May '06

02 May '06

hi all just a quick question i have dovecot (0.99.14 yum install) running on my fc4 server to get this working, i had to downgrade from mysql 5 to fedora's mysql rpm's i really would prefer to use mysql 5, but to satisfy the dependencies, i had to go to mysql 4 now, i just want to know if there is an rpm (linux rather than specific fc4 version is fine) out there for dovecot, that i can use with mysql 5 definitely prefer rpm's to src as i don't really like getting into the nitty gritty of config/setup thanks dave -- http://dtracorp.com

[Dovecot] Dovecot-1.0.beta7 Build Fedora 3 Error

Hello I'm attempting to configure Dovecot with mysql support so I'm able to have a single database of users and point both postfix and dovecot to this db. I currently have an rpm src that I have download and placed in my RPMBUILDROOT of my linux box. Next I configured the .spec file and attempted to run a rpmbuild -bb Near the end of the install phase I receive an error which has me stumped. I ran rpmbuild again and used the -bi --short-circuit options and logged the output for you to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated..... rpmbuild -bi --short-circuit dovecot-fc5.spec Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.44599 Making install in src make[1]: Entering directory

Hi, folks! How to notify dovecot that maildir contents is changed by third-party helper? My script performs spam cleanup, but all index/cache files (dovecot-uidlist, dovecot.index, dovecot.index.cache and dovecot.index.log) still unchanged, so, Web-frontend (IlohaMail over IMAP) displays taht mailbox contents isn't refreshed.
