[Dovecot] dovecot and virtual hosting
by Vegard Svanberg 03 Jun '04

03 Jun '04

Hi. A usual hosting provider setup depends on having one IP ("virtual mailserver") per domain. Using dovecot on servers handling hundreds or thousands of domains today equals to having multiple instances of dovecot running. This problem could be solved by making dovecot take into account the IP address the user connects to and authenticate against the proper {database, table, pw-file, [...]} based on that.

by Chris Horry 03 Jun '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, I'm migrating to Dovecot from Courier-IMAP. I use Postfix with Maildir for delivery. When I use Dovecot as the IMAP server all of my folders are missing, the only thing that remains is the Inbox folder. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have enclosed my configuration. Thanks, Chris - -- Chris Horry "Winter is the season in which people zerbey(a)wibble.co.uk try to keep the house as warm as it was PGP: DSA/… [View More]

Did you setup a /etc/procmailrc And then setup a: DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ line in the file? Thanks, John

[Dovecot] Serve list archives by dovecot IMAP
by Kenneth Porter 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

Has anyone considered setting up a Dovecot public server to serve the list archives by IMAP? Or does Dovecot not do anonymous read-only access? (I note by comparison that the Cyrusoft Mulberry list archives are served by an IMAP server. <http://www.cyrusoft.com/mulberry/support/anonimap.html>) It should be sufficient to set up Dovecot on some server in the dovecot.org domain and subscribe it to the lists.

by Timo Sirainen 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

http://dovecot.org/rc/ Thought I'd still make one 0.99.10.x release now that mbox corruption problems are (hopefully) fixed. Please test, if no problems are found this will be the final 0.99.10.5. Changes since .4: + MySQL authentication, patch by Matthew Reimer - mbox: APPEND reversed given \Draft and \Deleted flags - mbox: "LF not found" errors happened sometimes when X-IMAPbase header was updated. Possibly corrupted mbox sometimes. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet for finding this bug. -… [View More]

[Dovecot] Postfix SASL AUTH from Dovecot
by Timo Sirainen 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

Again today got annoyed at Cyrus SASL. Upgrading it to newer version had broken PAM support. Trying to login as "user@domain" resulted it only asking for "user" from PAM. Well, got it patched and working again, but I'd rather not go through it all the time.. So I finally did what I had been thinking about a year or so, change Postfix to use dovecot-auth directly. This required cleaning dovecot-auth quite a lot, but it seems to be working now. Actually I finally implemented support for initial … [View More]

[Dovecot] IMAP login name conversion
by Zoong Pham 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Hi all, Out IMAP client (Outlook and others) use login name like joedirt(a)domainname.com I need dovecot to convert it to joedirt-domainname_com since that is the local login name. Can someone give me a hint how to do that? Is there any simple way to do it or do I have to modify any source code? Thanks, Zoong
