[Dovecot] imap and vpopmail: per-domain auth
by Francesco Abeni 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi, i have qmail + vpopmail + dovecot + squirrelmail 0.99.14 on Fedora Core 4. Qmail includes its own pop3 server, and everybody is able to access it from outside. Dovecot is used only locally by SquirrelMail - so everybody can access via webmail. I'd like to make imap directly available from outside, but only for a few selected domains (NOT ip addresses!), while leaving everyone able to access with pop3 and/or via webmail. I don't know if this is possible, and if it is, i don't even know where to start. Is it a vpopmail or dovecot setting? Thank you for any suggestion and/or pointer to the right documentation. -- Francesco

[Dovecot] Dovecot Sieve Broken with 1.1 RPMs?
by Mailing List 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

We have been using dovecot v1:1.0.15-1_72 and dovecot-sieve v1.0.3-7 very successfully for many months but I've been unable to get dovecot-sieve to work with the latest 1.1 release. The new release seems to completely ignore our global sieve script no matter what we do. Is anyone else using the atrpms-stable rpms packages and able to get dovecot-sieve to work correctly? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gavin

[Dovecot] Sorting Mail
by Carlos Williams 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

I was wondering if Dovecot has the ability to sort email scored by Spamassassin? I know many people use Procmail for sorting but I was wondering if Dovecot can do the job or should I just use Procmail on my Linux (Postfix) server to sort email in specific folders? I have not yet installed Dovecot and or Procmail on the Postfix / Debian server. I would be installing the latest version avialable in apt-get = 1.0.13. Thanks for any info! -- Man your battle stations...

[Dovecot] Disable POP
by Carlos Williams 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

I am running Dovecot and wanted to make sure that to disable POP3 access on the MDA is as simple as removing the POP lines: protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s imap_listen = * pop3_listen = * imaps_listen = * pop3s_listen = * Do I need to modify anything else or am I looking in the totally wrong section: -- Man your battle stations...

[Dovecot] sieve :regex problem
by Václav Hůla 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

Hello, I have dovecot 1.1.1 with dovecot-sieve-1.1.5 and managesieve 0.10.3. Everything is working, with exeption of this filter: if header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :regex "X-Spam-Score" ".*\+\+\+\+" { fileinto "Spamq"; stop; } Which I think should match only messages with ++++ somewhere in their X-Spam-Score header - but matches everything (this is filter generated by ingo fom horde.org framework). Can someone please tell me where the problem really is? Ax -- Václav Hůla, správce linuxových serverů Přírodovědecká fakulta Univerzita Karlova v Praze
