[Dovecot] dovecot creating literal %d/%n/ folders
by sean darcy 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

I have a virtual user test1. cat /etc/dovecot/users test1@<mydomain>:{PLAIN}test1pass:504:504::/home/vmail/%d/%n catchall@<mydomain>:{PLAIN}password:504:504::/home/vmail/%d/%n @<mydomain>:{PLAIN}password:504:504::/home/vmail/<mydomain>/catchall test1@example.com:{PLAIN}test1pass:504:504::/home/vmail/%d/%n ls /home/vmail/%d/%n/mail cur dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidlist dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.4eab20a7 new tmp and mail to test1@<mydomain> goes into this %d/%n folder. In fact dovecot created the folder - at least I didn't. from dovecot-info.log Oct 28 17:43:11 auth: Debug: master in: USER 4 test1@<mydomain> service=lmtp Oct 28 17:43:11 auth: Debug: passwd(test1@<mydomain>): lookup Oct 28 17:43:11 auth: Info: passwd(test1@<mydomain>): unknown user Oct 28 17:43:11 auth: Debug: passwd-file(test1@<mydomain>): lookup: user=test1@<mydomain> file=/etc/dovecot/users Oct 28 17:43:11 auth: Debug: master out: USER 4 test1@<mydomain> uid=504 gid=504 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n Oct 28 17:43:11 lmtp(4533, test1@<mydomain>): Info: l6DnLacgq061EQAABoXEcA: msgid=<4EAB21EC.9070905(a)gmail.com>: saved mail to INBOX I would have expected dovecot to expand this to /home/vmail/<mydomain>/test1. Or are the %u %d variables only expanded in certain files? sean

[Dovecot] Manage dovecot maildir on multiple servers
by Arlin 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Any suggestions on how to implement dovecot maildir on multiple servers. Does this required independent installation of Dovecot on each servers, or a single instance of Dovecot with shared MailDir would serve the purpose? Thanks, Arlin

[Dovecot] how to tell dovecot v2.0.1 not to listen on port 143
by Lars Täuber 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Hi. Sorry for breaking this thread, but I just subscribed from a different address. I made a mistake. I didn't mean »imaps« but »imap2« How can I configure dovecot not to listen for imap connections on port 143. I want dovecot to listen only on port 993. And ssl = required is already set. So this is not the right solution. I just comemnted the whole inet_listener imap {...} section out. But this seems to be some kind of default setting. I tried to set: inet_listener { address = none } I tried to leave the address variable blank. But no succes. Good night Lars

[Dovecot] Quotas with Maildir and mdbox
by Dr Matthew Williams 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Hello, We use LDAP to store our Maildir++ quota information for our Maildir mailboxes. I notice in the documentation that only SQL and flat files are supported by the dictionary quota if I want to use quota with mdbox? Are there any plans to allow LDAP to be used as the store?

[Dovecot] adding dovecot to webmin list of services
by Spyros Tsiolis 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Hello , I am playing with webmin these days and find it really fun to install and use everyday. However, on the services option, amongst other services, the dovecot service is not shown. Does anyone out there have similar experience with webmin and dovecot and know how to make it appear there ? I am using CentOS (5.5/5.6/5.7) 32-bit Dovecot was installed manually and not from yum (.rpm) Dovecot v1.2.15 TIA, s. ---- "I merely function as a channel that filters music through the chaos of noise" - Vangelis

[Dovecot] IMAP shows forwarding and vacation files
by Nico Suhl 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Hello, I'm migrating our mailserver from a linux machine to solaris and got some small problems with our forwarding and vacation files, which are stored in the maildir of each user. I'm now using 2.0.15, on the old machine there was a dovecot 1. Now the problem is, that the .forward and .vacation files, which are used by exim, are shown as folders (they have a point...) in imap lists. This problem only occurs on the new solaris machine and not on the old linux system (with dovecot v1) or another testing machine with dovecot 2, which runs also under linux. userdb lookups are static with system account/group of exim. Is there any way to "hide" the .forward and .vacation files or do i have to rename or move them? Why are they shown here and not on our testsystems? regards, Nico Suhl

Dovecot reports to have looked in the system password file, failed, then looked in /etc/dovecot/users and found the user and logged them in. I think the problem happens later and you will have to show the subsequent log entries. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>
