Will searches other than BODY and TEXT use Lucene, Squat or the normal Dovecot indexes?... such as SEARCH SUBJECT/TO/CC/FROM/HEADER Bill

[Dovecot] problem on "multiple addresses"
by Quentin Chung (KTS) 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

I have do a search on google but found nothing.. My configuration is: RH ES3 Dovecot 1.0.0.4 from atrpms (dovecot-1.0-0_4_stable20050221.el3.at) My problem is.. my mailbox has 2 internet (interface A, ip 1.2.3.4 and interface B, 9.8.7.6) and 1 intranet (interface C, 192.168.0.x) access. Default route is on interface A. pop3/imap access from connection A & C has no problem at all. But, any connection from interface B it will get a timeout error. I can sure routing is correct.. since I have virtual host on web server and running ftp server, I tested it connecting from both IP it shows no error.. Anyone can give me some hints to fix it ?? thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] dovecot's LDA agent
by Bartosz Giza 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

Hi! I am using courier IMAP with maildrop as LDA. I started reading about dovecot and i like started to feel that i can switch to it. I have couple questions mostly about dovecot's LDA. My main problem with maildrop is that i have to create manualy user directories grr. All my domains are set up as virtual with postfix. So when i add new accout thru my web panel and i have to create user dir manually. This is really annoying thing. Maildrop checks if there is user dir before delivering mail. If not it report error. I want to know if dovecot's LDA create automaticly user dirs or not. I need also filtering language in LDA and i kknow that LDA has option to use sieve scrips. Generaly i am not sure that dovecot will be a good choice to switch from courier. Could anybody help me ? -- best regards, Bartosz Giza

[Dovecot] Error in Thunderbird
by Luigi Rosa 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

I received a mail, Thunderbird was supposed to move that mail in a folder, according to its filter rules, but appeared this popup: http://luigi.rosa.name/dovecot1.gif The log entries are: Dec 14 07:23:07 mail dovecot: IMAP(lrosa): Fixed index file /var/spool/mail2/lrosa/.HT list/dovecot.index: first_recent_uid_lowwater 839 -> 838 Dec 14 07:23:07 mail dovecot: IMAP(lrosa): Corrupted index file /var/spool/mail2/lrosa/.HT list/dovecot.index: Duplicate header extension keywords The file http://luigi.rosa.name/dovecot1.tgz contains the dovecot files I found in the folder "HT list" (no problem about privacy: the archives of that mailing list are public). Ciao, luigi -- / +--[Luigi Rosa]-- \ There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

[Dovecot] Shared folder subscriptions
by Nagy László 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

Hello! I have this shared folder: namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/mail/public } It is accessible for all users in a specific group (mode 770, umask 0007). Users in that group should always be subscribed to all subfolders, so I did not use a different CONTROL for each user. All of our IMAP users were in that group, until now. I added a new user and she should not be able to access the public folder. She is not in the right group, so everything is okay, except that her e-mail client TRIES to open Public. It is because she is also subscribed to that folder. My question is: is it possible to have different control files for different groups of users? Having a different control file for each user would not be good for me, it would cause lot trouble. Having the same control file for all users is also bad, I would get many complaints because error messages would show up. In the worst case I can write a script that automatically subscribes everybody to the correct folders, but this would be very clumsy. Any ideas? Thanks, Laszlo

[Dovecot] Actually what is the SQL DB used for?
by Aaron J Weber 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Is a RDBMS required for Dovecot to run in small (SOHO) environments? (Does it store indexes to the mail, etc.?) Or is it strictly leveraged for larger-scale environments? I'm asking, because the INSTALL says ./configure and make is enough for most...but as my previous post requested...there isn't anywhere that lists Required Packages/Software. We need to get that out there before 1.0RC becomes 1.0! :) -AJ

[Dovecot] Slightly off topic question but ...
by Marc Perkel 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

I'm using files for passwords that look like the unix passwd and shadow files, except each domain has it's own pair of shadow and password files for that domain. And dovecot works fine with that. So - here's my off topic question. I'm trying to create a PHP interface to allow user to change their password in these passwd / shadow file combos. What kind of encryption do they use and specifically what PHP command would I use to encrypt a password like the shadow file has? Thanks in advance.
