[Dovecot] RFC: PAM service name change?
by Jeremy Katz 23 Jun '03

23 Jun '03

It would be nice for the sake of not conflicting to have the PAM service name not be imap. Especially as the same service name is used for pop as well :) My recommendation would be to use dovecot instead. Any other opinions? Jeremy

[Dovecot] 0.99.10-rc1
by Timo Sirainen 23 Jun '03

23 Jun '03

Home again. Fixed SSL checking for Redhat 9, I hope. Could someone test if it actually works now? Also fixed a few compiler warnings. If this thing works, I'll just update the NEWS file and call it 0.99.10. http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/rc/ Near future plans include rewriting parts of index handling. At least .tree file will go, I've a _much_ better idea how to replace it. .data file is also too bloaty and it's a bit difficult to add new fields into it. I'd have to figure out some better API to access it. I've also been worrying about locking.. If we want to share indexes between many clients, lock contention will become a problem. For example a "FETCH 1:* BODY[]" could take a long time and index can't be modified while it's being done. I'm not really sure what to do about this.. Probably some more fine graned locking and maybe some kind of transaction log where changes are written if you couldn't get exclusive lock.

[Dovecot] Dovecot and LDAP problems
by Spectron International, Inc. 22 Jun '03

22 Jun '03

I'm having problems with dovecot and OpenLDAP. I installed both, and configured both. /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf exists and I modified dovecot.conf to have... auth_userdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf auth_passdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf ...but the log displays the following: Jun 19 13:59:15 backup dovecot-auth: Unknown userdb type 'ldap' Jun 19 13:59:15 backup dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down Jun 19 13:59:15 backup dovecot: child 4187 (auth) returned error 89 the auth_userdb and auth_passdb seem to be ok, so what am I missing?

Hi, Been using Dovecot for a few weeks now, must say it's very good.. I've been looking for a 'drop in' replacement for UWImap for ages! :) but just recently It's been giving me a few problem, I haven't tracked down exactly what causes the problem yet (I'm using Apple Mail on OS X 10.2.6) but after a good mail session it keep trying to log in over and over again.. Looking the the log file I find this...

hi all, i've taken over the maintainership of dovecot's pkgsrc on NetBSD - please send me your ideas, questions and comments related to dovecot on NetBSD. FreeBSD's port has currently some more 'features' than the pkgsrc, i'm going to add some of them - any feedback is appreciated. bye, TOM
