[Dovecot] Mailbox written with normalized headers
by Kenneth Porter 14 Aug '05

14 Aug '05

Over on the SpamAssassin list someone noted that some spam generators add leading spaces to the subject line, but it was impossible to detect this when using Dovecot for POP3 service. Some quick testing shows that dovecot-0.99.13-4.FC2 writes the mailbox back with the extra spaces in the header squeezed out. I think Dovecot should avoid reformatting headers any more than necessary to avoid interfering with spam detectors.

Hi I am back thought I should start a new mail... since i lost track of previous. Anyways, Does Dovecot require courier-authdaemon or whatever it is called to run? When running the following i recieve the following output should I kill inet from 143 or not. aries:/etc/init.d# netstat -ltnp | grep ':143' tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 24715/inetd I am recieving the same response with the dovecot init file: aries:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/dovecot aries:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/dovecot aries:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart aries:/etc/init.d# There is no output possible because of inet? Any Help will be great! Thanks!

[Dovecot] debs for 1.0?
by Lorens 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

Hi, 0.99 is running nicely on my sarges, but I need pop3_uidl_format = %f for Courier compatibility. I can't find any debs more recent than test22 of over a year ago (those are at http://src.braincells.com/dovecot-test/) Even though google turns up http://hemma.tobbe.nu/debian/mini-dinstall/incoming/dovecot_1.0.test46-1_i3… searching for dovecot on packages.debian.org (any distribution or source) only yields 0.99.14 and 0.99.20050712. I know Jaldhar called for vounteers to take over, but I don't feel qualified... but I've managed to do away with all non-deb installations, so if I have to I'll make a .deb myself, is there maybe an already-written script to do that with dovecot? Thanks for suggestions.

[Dovecot] vpopmail directory permissions denied
by bclements＠io-networks.com 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

I've moved from a postfix setup to a qmail/vpopmail setup I've setup the dovecot.conf file for vpopmail That works fine, users can log in, but the problem is when they go to see their folders. Nothing is there. INBOX, Drafts, nothing. This is using any imap client, imp, evolution, outlook, outlook express This is using 99.14 and the latest vpopmail/qmail I looked at the directory structure and everything is there. The dovecot log file says something about permissions denied. I am using freebsd 4.10 Anybody have a clue on whats going on? -Brent ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

The problem is I don't know how to upload it to backports.org but while I get that sorted out you can get the files from http://www.braincells.com/backports/ (It's not aptable, you'll have to download the packages and manually install them with dpkg -i) -- Jaldhar H.
