[Dovecot] drac plugin "net_ip2addr() failed: Operation not permitted"
by Michael Moritz 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi, I'm trying to get the drac plugin working (again) but I'm stuck with the following message: Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotEDRAC: net_ip2addr() failed: Operation not permitted This is on a Debian Squeeze box, dovecot version 1.2.15-7, drac version 1.12 Looking at the source it should print the IP in the brackets of net_ip2addr. The fact that it's just empty made me think that I may need to set an environment variable. I tried IP="127.0.0.1" in /etc/default/dovecot and as export but to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks, mimo

[Dovecot] passwd not found
by Erik - versatel 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

If I use in dovecot.conf passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/%d/etc/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } I get an authorisation failure in my mail.log file. If I use passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } This works !!! (without the %d) in the passdb passwd-file Than the %d/%u is correctly rewritten in the userdb static. PS I have in the passwd-file the username@domain and the username documented for testing. I think there is some problem with the %d (DOMAIN) How can I check if %d is filled ?? And how can i make different authorisationdirs and files per domain.

[Dovecot] dovecot-antispam + spamassassin
by Yann Leboulanger 24 Jul '11

24 Jul '11

Hi, I recently saw this a branch [1] of your git repository when dovecot-antispam has support of spamassassin. Is it intentional to not add it to the official release? Are there any plan to officially support spamassassin? [1] http://www.freenux.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=dovecot-antispam.git;a=shortlog… Thanks -- Yann

[Dovecot] UIDVALIDITY Change
by Dominik Schulz 24 Jul '11

24 Jul '11

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate a Courier-IMAP Server to Dovecto. I've followed the instructions in the Dovecot wiki and converted the indices using the provided perl script. Howevery I'm getting "UIDVALIDITY changed ..." messages in the logfile and some of the test clients list some messages twice. I didn't find much about this issue in the wiki. Any hints? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Dominik

[Dovecot] Ubuntu package for dovecot 2.0.x from debian package
by Vincent Richomme 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Hi, I am running a server under Ubuntu 11.04(natty) and I would like to install a 2.x version but unfortunately the only package available is 1.2.15. Of course I could compile and install from sources but I would prefer to handle packages because it's a lot simpler and cleaner. After some research I found some debian packages available here : http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/testing-auto/dovecot-2.0/ So my question is would it be possible to recompile the source package to make a ubuntu one ? Or maybe could I install directly the debian package (but I suppose dependencies are not the same ...). If someone has already an experience with that and couls share his experience. Still don't understand why distros don't use dovecot 2.x ? Is it considered still as unstable ? Thanks

I didn't do anything special other than to use pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes so that clients don't re-download all their messages. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Automatic Client Retrieval of Messages
by qmail＠top-consulting.net 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Are there any mail clients that automatically pull in folder contents even though they don't have a subscription to that folder ? I have defined a namespace with subscriptions=yes, hidden=yes and list=yes. There are no subscriptions files for any of the users yet they are still pulling data from the folders in that namespace. What gives ?

[Dovecot] My status
by Timo Sirainen 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Hello list, In case anyone's wondering why I haven't been replying here much lately: 1. I've been busy working (you know, paid work) on full text search indexing redesign. That change was a bigger job than I realized at first (mainly due to virtual mailboxes), so I've been a bit stressed/frustrated over it. I finally finished it today though, so that's over now: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/7b9978eb6f91 I hope to add Antonio's Solr attachment indexing support to it once I'm a bit less busy. I'm in any case also going to add generic attachment indexing so that CLucene backend can also do it. I've also other work left to do for a few more weeks. 2. My new apartment gets too hot (30C) when it gets over about 22C outside, which is almost daily. So my brain melts in the heat and I don't have energy to do much of anything. But I finally yesterday bought an air conditioning machine, which should solve this problem. I don't know why I didn't buy it weeks ago. So .. I'll try to get back to reading and answering mails next week after I've finished some more work and don't feel like I'm lagging behind too much.
