[Dovecot] dovecot: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=14267
by Jerrale G 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

I don't know if dovecot 2.0 will have this already or not but, when dovecot is stopped or started, it would be nice to have the PID reported in the log for various uses. Jerrale Gayle SC Senior Admin

[Dovecot] Split number of imap-login and pop3-login processes
by Mischa Peters 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi All, Is there a way to define the number for imap-login processes and pop3-login processes separately? My mail server is getting more IMAP clients and much less POP3 clients these days and it continues to run out of authentication processes. I have been increasing login_max_processes_count the last couple of days and I noticed that it's split between IMAP and POP3. All 129 imap-login processes are tied up while there are only 3 of the 129 pop3-login processes in use. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanx!!

Suppose I have users with a default password like "change-my-password" and I want to detect users who haven't changed their password and alert (nag) them about changing it. How would I do that?

[Dovecot] Address book for 2.0?
by Jerrale G 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

2.0 could include a directory service, like MS Exchange, where people's address books within IMAP clients could be stored on the server and retrievable by the clients. Its a headache for users to roam from pc to pc and not have someone's address stored locally on another. Jerrale G SC Senior Admin

Re: [Dovecot] turn Usernames in Lowercase
by Leander S. 15 Aug '10

Hi again, I solved the issue. Thanks any way and excuse the noise. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables Regards ________________________________________________________________________ Hi, I'm just curious how to force usernames to be modified to lowercase letters if one mixes uper and lower case letters to one salad? Cause my SpamAssassin gets confuesd and treats different spellings of Usernames as different Users - which is uncool. I've heard about something you can add in your dovecot.config to enforce lowercase letters only. Thanks
