Hi guys, I was just wondering if this idea makes sense overall or if there are major impediments (indexing performance ?): http://blogs.nopcode.org/brainstorm/2010/04/28/maildircrypt/ Thanks ! Roman

[Dovecot] Dovecot headers at start of text returned to KMail
by Barry Scott 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

The attachment show Kmail (kdepim-4.4.2-1.fc12.x86_64) accessing an email from dovecot over imap. From the wireshark-imap-trace.txt you can see at line 77 that the headers do not end cleanly "X-)". And at line 84 there is text from the headers that is not part of the body "-Spambayes-Trained: ham". The email being access by dovecot is in: 1272011889.M384349P30156.f12barry.office.onelan.co.uk,S=6494,W=6606:2,S Because of this bug kmail fails to show the message cleanly on screen. # 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 12 (Constantine) login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Barry

Re: [Dovecot] returned error 83 (Out of memory)

FYI, sorted out this issue by taking out a specific email manually. Not sure if it helps, but the email had these attributes: - X-Mailer is PHPMailer [version 1.73] - References: header is quite large, and contains email addresses external to the sender and I's conversation. Removing the email fixed the issue. -- John

I tried deleting the file, but got pretty much the same issues. Any other hints on how else to go about it? Cheers!

Did you tried to delete the dovecot.index.cache file, maybe it has been corrupted? Regards, - -- Steffen Kaiser -- John

[Dovecot] somebody using Net::Sieve (Perl) with dovecot 1.2.11?
by Heiko Schlittermann 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

Hello, I've just (hopefully) fixed some issue with Net::Sieve (0.05) to cooperate with a current (1.2.11) dovecot managesieve server and STARTTLS. Does somebody use this Perl library? If yes, did it work for you (STARTTLS triggers the problem)? If not, which other (Perl) library do you use?

[Dovecot] Anyone successfully using expire plugin?
by Thomas M Goerger 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Anyone out there using expire? At this point, I'm not sure that it's even running. It was touching the plugin libraries yesterday, but doesn't appear to be doing so today. The plugin directory wasn't explictly set, so I've done so now, but it's still not touching these. Anyone have a cf file I could take a look at, or any ideas as to what might be happening?

[Dovecot] How can I make dovecot aware of user's email aliases?
by Ian P. Christian 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Sieve will not reply to mail it doesn't think was sent directly to a user. I use an SQL auth backend, and a user might login as user1(a)domain.com. What method can I use to inform dovecot that user2(a)domain.com is a forward to user1(a)domain.com, such that the vacation auto response will fire when user2(a)domain.com is emailed (therefore, the mail ends up in user1(a)domain.com's mailbox). -- Blog: http://pookey.co.uk/blog Follow me on twitter: http://twitter.com/ipchristian
