[Dovecot] Changing location of vmail folder, mail started downloading again
by Manoj Singh 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Dear Team, Due to some reasons I need to move vmail folder to another drive. I tried to do rsync & I was able to copy all the files and structure with same old date and time stamp. I made symbolic link and new mail flow was fine but problem is, all the mail boxes started downloading old mails again . Is there any way where I can copy location of the folder without this problem. Please find the below details.

[Dovecot] NTLM authentication mechanism with Postfix
by Matthew Larsen 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

I'm working on getting authentication for Postfix smtpd clients working with Dovecot. I've got both plain text and GSSAPI mechanisms working. Winbind also works for shell access and the command line test work fine. If I can get NTLM authentication working I can use Postfix as a drop in replacement for a MS MTA I want get rid of. I'm hoping the community might be able to offer some insight into what I'm missing to get NTLM authentication working with Dovecot and Postfix. Something related to winbind I suspect. When I use the NTLM mechanism I get this in my maillog file. Nothing seems to show up in the winbind files for this. ---- log file from NTLM mechanism used ---- Jun 26 17:02:53 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[2221]: connect from nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.0] Jun 26 17:02:53 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0112#011NTLM#011service=smtp#011nologin#011lip=10.20.4.12#011rip=10.20.2.0#011resp=TlRM...A= Jun 26 17:02:53 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: CONT#0112#011TlRM....A Jun 26 17:02:53 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: CONT#0112#011TlRM....Q= Jun 26 17:02:53 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: winbind(?,10.20.2.0): user not authenticated: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL Jun 26 17:02:55 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[2221]: warning: nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.0]: SASL NTLM authentication failed: TlRM....A Jun 26 17:02:55 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: FAIL#0112 Jun 26 17:02:59 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[2221]: disconnect from nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.0] ------------------------------------------ ---- log file from GSSAPI mechanism used ----- Jun 26 17:02:08 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[2221]: connect from nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.0] Jun 26 17:02:08 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=2221) Jun 26 17:02:08 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011GSSAPI#011service=smtp#011nologin#011lip=10.20.4.12#011rip=10.20.2.0#011resp=YIIN....

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.17.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.17.tar.gz.sig Hopefully among the last v2.1.x releases. + zlib: Keep the last read mail uncompressed in a temporary file. This significantly improves performance when IMAP client does small partial fetches for a large mail. + acl: Optionally get default ACL's for private/shared namespaces from user's INBOX (plugin { acl_defaults_from_inbox = yes } - Case-insensitive unicode character comparisons weren't all working as they should. - maildir: Fixed handling over 26 keywords in a mailbox. - auth: Don't crash in non-PLAIN/LOGIN auth mechanism if master user login is attempted without any master passdbs configured.

Hi!, I'm trying to use single sign on from Windows. Install dovecot on CentOS 6. The host name is prueba-mail. I'm using version 2.0.9 because the latest 64-bit gives errors.

[Dovecot] How to manage email with an ISP restricted mailbox size?
by Tom Atkins 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Sorry if this is a bit off topic but I'm hoping list members here might have some ideas. Aim: use ISP provided email with restricted inbox size but keep an IMAP accessible archive of emails (including 'sent' messages) on a remote server. Scenario: - Don't want to run my own SMTP server - Have free ISP email with 1Gb mailbox limit and spam filtering that works well - Have remote server with plenty of disk space - Want to use remote server for IMAP access to archive of email to avoid 1Gb ISP mailbox limit Options I tried: 1. Use ISP email via IMAP and periodically backup / archive messages to remote server with something like mbsync / isync to maildir format. Delete old messages on ISP server safe in knowledge they are backed up on my server. QUESTION: how to access those archives via IMAP (read only is OK)? 2. Use ISP email for sending messages only. Use Getmail / Fetchmail to move messages to remote server and run Dovecot there. I tried using Getmail to do this but couldn't figure out how to keep copies of 'Sent' and 'Draft' messages if the email client was configured to read via IMAP on one server and send via SMTP to another server. Any thoughts on how best to achieve my aims? Thanks, Tom.

[Dovecot] Help installing Dovecot 1.0 on Debian 6.0.7
by Roshan Dawrani 26 Jun '13

Hi, Could someone please let me know if I can get the pre-built binaries for Dovecot 1.0 for Debian 6.0? If I do "apt-get install dovecot...", I am getting Dovecot v1.2.5 installed, but it doesn't like the existing Dovecot 1.0 configuration I have, and due to some urgency, I am trying to avoid migrating the configuration to the new structure / requirements. Regards, Roshan

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2 and managesieve
by Darek 25 Jun '13

Having some difficulty finding out whether managesieve is still a separate package (not seeing it in the FreeBSD ports tree, only one for 1.x) or whether it was integrated into the main 2.x package. I've only been using 1.2.x up to now, and trying to document a system install. So is it in the main distribution now? -- Darek
