[Dovecot] Password and special caracter
by Gilles Albusac 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Problem : I have a problem with special character in the password. Character like ! * é are deleted My configuration : - a smtp server with Postfix 2.6 and Dovcot 1.1.11. - a windows 2003 server with active directory for accounts and boxes I use SMTP / SASL on my postfix 2.6 to authenticate my remote laptop users (allow legitimate users to relay mail). To do that, I use SASL Dovecot fonctionnality and ldap request to verify login/password who are declared on a server in Windows 2003 (Active Directory). It works fine with simple password but not with complex password. I have a problem with special character in the password. Character like ! * é are deleted before comparaison. Any idea ? Regards

Hi, I'm using dovecot 1.2.5 with mysql backend and seems in this new version I have issues when loggin in, especially if there are mails in Inbox folder. NOTE: version 1.2.4 worked perfectly and mysql was updated to version 5.0.86 from source code.

Fair enough. But I never saved the tail when the problem occured. I can now extract this again from the info log (getting everything between 11:06 to 11:08 which should be within the problem time...). Who should I send it to? It's 181 lines to 'privatize' and I'd prefere not to send a unprivatized file to the list...

This may be enough for Timo, but its always better to give the full logs of one of these transactions - not just the dovecot error log, but full system logs, showing the message entering the system, each step of processing, and ending with the final delivery (attempt)... -- Best regards, Charles Marcus I.T.

[Dovecot] Compile dovecot 1.2.5 with managesieve patch 0.11.9?
by Seba 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hi, is it possible to compile dovecot 1.2.5 with the managesieve patch 0.11.9 which is for dovecot 1.2.4 or is it better to wait if a new managesieve patch is released? Maybe 1.2.5 will work too? Thanks, Seba

[Dovecot] Some issues in Dovecot 1.2.5 after upgrade from 1.0.15
by Chris Wakelin 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

We upgraded from Dovecot 1.0.15 to 1.2.5 last night, on Solaris 10 using mboxes, mostly without issues. However I had to trash the index/cache files (too many folders were showing corruption issues which is especially bad for Prayer Webmail ".prayer" folders that store preferences; Prayer sees a disconnection as the folder being missing!). I've had one imap process panic in mailbox sync (as I mentioned above, the index files have been newly created in 1.2.5): > Sep 30 09:57:10 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<xxxxxxxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=134.225.xx.xx, lip=134.225.16.6 > Sep 30 09:57:10 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<xxxxxxxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=134.225.xx.xx, lip=134.225.16.6 > Sep 30 09:57:11 IMAP 25384 xxxxxxxx 134.225.xx.xx : Panic: file mail-index-sync-update.c: line 933 (mail_index_sync_map): assertion failed: (map->hdr.indexid == index->indexid || map->hdr.indexid == 0) > Sep 30 09:57:11 dovecot: Error: child 25384 (imap) killed with signal 6 (core dumped) This looks like it was the user's first connection since the upgrade, as well.

I activated Dovecot's Virtual Plugin in my configuration and created dovecot-virtual file with the following content: [quote] # ~/Maildir/virtual/Flagged/dovecot-virtual * flagged [quote] When I flag some messages these messages automatically appears inside my Virtual Folder called "Flagged", but once inside this folder , when I "Unflag" the message, It doesn't disapear from my virtual folder. Is this expected? I'm using dovecot12-1.2.5-2.1 on a Opensuse 11.1 I hope you understand my brazilian english :) Thanks
