[Dovecot] LDAP for passdb and SQL for userdb
by Bambero 02 Oct '13

Hello Is it possible to setup double backend ? ldap for auth only and SQL for userdb information(quota,maildir etc) ? Now I'm using SQL backend and configuration looks like this: passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } Can I do something like: passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } Should I leave: userdb { driver = prefetch } Bambero

[Dovecot] Older messages not showing up after reinstall
by dclist 02 Oct '13

I reinstalled Ubuntu, keeping my maildir directories. Messages older than the date of reinstall are not being served by dovecot. The messages show up normally in my MUA if I load the maildir directory directly. I assume there is a file somewhere where dovecot is keeping a list of seen messages which I need to reset. The old messages appear to be in dovecot-uidlist. I tried moving dovecot.index* to no effect. How do I get the pre-reinstall messages to be served by dovecot? # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.8.0-31-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 13.04 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/password driver = passwd-file } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { fts = squat fts_squat = partial=4 full=4 } protocols = imap service auth { user = root } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u driver = static } userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_plugins = fts fts_squat } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv }

[Dovecot] Dovecot disconnecting while downloading large attachments
by Marc Casas - Girotec 01 Oct '13

Hi, We're using Dovecot 1.2.15 with Debian Squeeze. The mail server is working properly (we use both POP3 and IMAP) with normal messages, but if we try to download a large message (more than 20mb) using POP3, the server disconnects and our application fails. It's possible to change this behavior? How can we setup Dovecot so it disconnects after 20 or 30 minutes (I think now is disconnecting after 10 minutes) of "inactivity"? Regards, Marc
