[Dovecot] unknown namespace with Mac OS client
by Francisco Reyes 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

I see in this thread, http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-April/012918.html, that others had simmilar problems with Mac OS client. Anyone got a working Dovecot + Mac OS setup? In particular with RC15. Our setup default_mail_env = maildir:Maildir namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } Would it help to use hidden = yes ?? Reading the description doesn't say much to me.. in particular I guess I am not familiar with the IMAP protocol to appreciate the explanation in the config file. The server is getting data originally coming from a Courier setup. I wrote a couple of scripts to convert files names and delete old setup files. So far we have moved 3 domains to this machine and the only one with the problem so far is the customer with the Mac client. Unless we can solve this soon, we will have to move him back to a courier server ... until we can figure how to solve this problem.

[Dovecot] Push IMAP
by Paul 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hearing that today's new Apple device is going to work with push IMAP from Yahoo, my first thought is to wonder whether an extension might make it possible for a Dovecot server to push its own IMAP in a compatible way. Paul

[Dovecot] command line options
by AJ Weber 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Is the wiki up-to-date on the command-line arguments that can be passed to dovecot? I don't like the fact that I have to hard-code the "listen address" in the config file. Even though it shouldn't change (rarely if ever), when I have a multi-homed host, I need to specify only one of the interfaces. Would it be possible to either: 1) Make --listen into an optional, command-line argument; or 2) Make the listen config-file parameter understand interface names instead of just IP Addresses? (Like "eth0") -AJ

[Dovecot] beta8: core, signal 11
by Jeff A. Earickson 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Timo, The gdb analysis is attached. It looks like memory got seriously stomped in this core dump. There was no assert or other useful information in the syslog. My setup: Solaris 9, imap and imaps, mbox format, INBOXes NFS mounted, index files on local ufs filesystem, beta8 configured like so: VERSION=1.0.beta8 CC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot.$VERSION \ --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-ssldir=/opt/openssl/ssl \ --with-sql-drivers=no \ --disable-ipv6 \ > configure.out Jeff Earickson Colby College

[Dovecot] 1.0rc19 with plugins on AIX 5.2
by Ralf Becker 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hello, has anyone out there successfully build dovecot on AIX with plugins supported? I'm talking about an dlopen error when a plugin tries to access global symbols, that are defined in the dovecot "parent" binary For example: # MAIL_PLUGINS=zlib /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap imap(root): Error: dlopen(/usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_zlib_plugin.so) failed: rtld: 0712-001 Symbol i_error was referenced from module /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_zlib_plugin.so(), but a runtime definition of the symbol was not found. rtld: 0712-001 Symbol i_stream_get_data was referenced from module /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_zlib_plugin.so(), but a runtime definition of the symbol was not found. rtld: 0712-001 Symbol i_stream_skip was referenced from module /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_zlib_plugin.so(), but a runtime definition of the symbol was not found. rtld: 0712-001 Symbol i_stream_seek was referenced from module /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_zlib_plugin.so(), but a runtime definition of the symbol was not found. rtld: 0712-001 Symbol i_stream_close was referenced from module /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_zlib_plugin.so(), but a runtime definition of the symbol was not found. rtld: 0712-001 Symbol i_panic was referenced from module /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_zlib_plugin.so(), but a runtime definition of the symbol was not found. rtld: 0712-001 Symbol pool_get_exp_grown_size was referenced from module /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_zlib_plugin.so(), but a runtime definition of the symbol was not found. Additional errors occurred but are not reported. Maybe libtool is the problem, because it does not export global symbols correctly. Or would a newer version of AIX vac fix this? Any ideas? I'm using dovecot 1.0rc19, AIX 5.2-06 and vac 5.0.2 Regards, Ralf -- ______________________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Inform.

[Dovecot] Automatic Folder Expiry (plugin?)
by Troy Engel 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Greetings, I'm migrating an existing Courier IMAP installation to Dovecot (1.0rc19 right now) on a new server; there's one feature I'm not sure if Dovecot supports - but it might and I'm missing it, so I'll ask. In Courier there's an option to expire a folder after a given time period; ostensibly it's to keep a Trash folder clean, but we use it to keep the Junk folder (where spam is delivered by Exim) clean. How can I do this in Dovecot? Here's the chunk from Courier for those unfamiliar with it (just part of the verbiage): ##NAME: IMAP_EMPTYTRASH:0 # # The following setting is optional, and causes messages from the given # folder to be automatically deleted after the given number of days. # IMAP_EMPTYTRASH is a comma-separated list of folder:days. # # Important: the purging is controlled by CTIME, not MTIME ... So in our case it's set like so: IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Junk:14 Thanks for any help/ideas - I'm not sure if we can live without this feature, the amount of spam is horrendous and users never clean out that folder. -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com

[Dovecot] namespace subscription problem
by Nate Sanders 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Greetings, I am trying to setup a private namespace in dovecot and running in to some troubles. Here is my setup: > default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir > > # default namespace > namespace private { > separator = . > prefix = > inbox = yes > } > namespace private { > separator = . > prefix = maillog. > location = maildir:/var/maildir/maillog/Maildir/ > #inbox = yes > hidden = no > } So far it's working to a degree. When I load my imap folder and go to Subscribe, I can see the master "maillog" folder, and expand it to see all the subfolders. The problem is, I cannot subscribe to the master "maillog" folder. Only it's sub folders. When I check dovecot.info it says this: > dovecot: 2007-01-31 13:27:42 Info: imap(nate): Namespace: > type=private, prefix=maillog., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, > subscriptions=no I see there "subscriptions=no". Is it possible to change this to yes? Would changing this to yes allow me to subscribe to the actual namespace folder? I tried adding "subscriptions=yes" and "subscription=yes" to dovecot.conf but both entries resulted in failed starts and errors. How is it possible allow subscriptions directly to this namespace? Thanks. -- Nate Sanders nate(a)ima.umn.edu Associate Systems Manager (612) 624 - 4353 Institute for Mathematics and its Applications

[Dovecot] periodic problems with dovecot-1.0rc19 (No authentication sockets found)
by Mikhail Teterin 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, Timo! On the new server running 1.0rc19 people stop being able to login every once in a while. The log messages on the server side are: Jan 30 12:18:50 bonkers dovecot: pop3-login: No authentication sockets found Jan 30 12:18:50 bonkers dovecot: pop3-login: No authentication sockets found Jan 30 12:18:59 bonkers dovecot: pop3-login: No authentication sockets found Jan 30 12:19:01 bonkers dovecot: imap-login: No authentication sockets found Jan 30 12:19:06 bonkers dovecot: pop3-login: No authentication sockets found Restarting dovecot helps for a while, but then the problem reappears... The config-file was copied from an older server running 1.0.r15, where we never saw this problem... The old server ran FreeBSD-4.10/i386. The new one runs FreeBSD-6.2/amd64. Thanks for any hints! Yours, -mi

[Dovecot] Dovecot mailing list page down
by Dotan Cohen 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

As I've decided not to manage my own mail server, I'm trying to unsubscribe from the dovecot list. However, the page at http://www.dovecot.org/mailinglists.html is down. Does anybody have the welcome email, so that they could tell me to what address to send the unsubscribe command to? Thanks in advance.
