[Dovecot] Question about Windows Mail for Vista IMAP client
by Stewart Dean 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

When TBird logs on, it does it quietly, that is it opens one or two logins. When you start working it'll open a few more. Quiet, no thrashing around When WM4Vista opens, it appears to login and disconnect (immediately) once for every folder a person has. 20 folders, 20 logins and disconnect, ripple fire. Anybody have an idea why WM4V is so busy and TB is quiet doing the same thing? I fell over this doing testing on V1.2.6 but find it's also the case back on my production V1.1.15 -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] Wish-list: X-Delivered-To headers generated by dovecot-deliver
by Andrzej Adam Filip 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Would it be sensible/"cost effective" to make dovecot-deliver generated X-Delivered-To header(s) based on command line parameter(s)? [after striping such existing headers, before consulting sieve] I need it to: a) *clearly* mark POP/IMAP account fetched by fetchmail [with fetchmail using directly dovecot-deliver in --mda option] b) cleanly implement "shared mailboxes" with MTA such as sendmail that can be easily forced to generate "one header per one recipient" [AFAIK] -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi(a)onet.eu Order and simplification are the first steps toward mastery of a subject -- the actual enemy is the unknown. -- Thomas Mann

[Dovecot] Multiple LDAP Userdb lookups
by David 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello one & all, I understand it is possible to do multiple lookups for userdb info of different types, for instance a local "real" account & virtual MySql lookups. Is it possible to do two separate ldap lookups to differnt parts of the same AD domain? I have a config file to do my authentication lookup against the domain. Then I have a 2nd config file for the userdb lookups which uses ldap to query our AD for their userdb info. I need to query a 2nd part of the AD for another group of users & unfortunately putting all users into one container isn't possible. So, if I add another ldap stanza to dovecot.conf will I break anything? Cheers, David. This email is confidential and is intended solely for the use of the parties to whom it is addressed.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird and Trash folder
by Stefan Onken 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello, I have my problems with the Trash folder in thunderbird. Most of the times (it did work, but only for a short period) Thunderbird is not considering the "Trash" folder (or in my case the "Papierkorb") as the trash folder. The symbol disappears and I am not able to delete folders. Deleted emails are disappearing at all. The usual Google solutions like maildir vs. mbox doesn't help a lot, I am using maildir and the directory structure looks fine. I noticed that I have two trash folders, one with "INBOX.", one without. That may be a problem with Squirrelmail, because I am using both Thunderbird and Squirrelmail. Any idea to solve this issue with Thunderbird ? Thank you, Stonki Dovecot -a: http://www.pastebin.org/49066 Directory structure: http://www.pastebin.org/49067

[Dovecot] Multiple SSL certs question
by Jean-Baptiste Vignaud 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello; I was reading the message "how to config dovecot for multiple domains, multiple SSL certs, and conditional IP access -- with passwd-file passdb?", and i was wondering if Dovecot could support the SNI extention of TLS ? SNI is Server Name Indication where during the TLS negotiation, the client set the name of the server it tries to reach I dont know if any imap/pop client support this yet, but this would be a great feature for one IP/multiple virtual domains. Each SNI client would have the correct certificate and not the "main/generic' one. It seems that mutt has a patch for that http://www.mail-archive.com/mutt-dev@mutt.org/msg05251.html

[Dovecot] Hundreds of auth-worker sockets in /etc/dovecot
by Eggert Ehmke 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

I run dovecot 1.2.6, before last update I had 1.2.2. on Debian Lenny. I noticed that my config directory /etc/dovecot is filled up with hundreds of old auth-worker.12345 sockets. I guess they should have been cleaned up, is there a misconfiguration? When I remember right, this did not happen with dovecot 1.1.

[Dovecot] listing available subscriptions - shared mailboxes
by Hendrik Pahl 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

hi everybody, got a strange issue with 1.2.4 on SLES11. When listing the user's available subscriptions with any client, every shared mailbox that can be subscribed is listed twice, once with it's correct name, 'folder' for example. the second appereance is without the last letter of the name, 'folde' for example. strange behaviour, since this happens with any client. i hope somebody know what is wrong here. thanks in advance, hendrik -- LWsystems GmbH & Co.

[Dovecot] Dovecot
by Claudio Prono 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hello all, I use dovecot11-1.1.7-1.4.1 with OpenSuse 11.1. Everything works fine, except the vacation with managesieve. When i send a mail to an address with vacation, i recieve back a vacation message, but i read an error like this into dovecot-deliver.log: Error: file_dotlock_create(~/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory And then the vacation is send any time, without limits. I think the problem is dovecot can't find home directory for the mail to write the .dovecot.lda-dupes, but i don't know how to specify that.
