Re: [Dovecot] when/where to set MAIL env variable?

Andrew Basterfield wrote (in a msg I don't think made it to the list): > In dovecot.conf > > default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir Ah, silly me... default_mail_env = mbox:~/Mailbox works wonderfully, and is easier than trying to figure out where the MAIL environment variable actually comes into play. Thanks...

[Dovecot] when/where to set MAIL env variable?
by Mike Brown 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

I am trying to get dovecot to work on a system that uses qmail as its MTA. As is typical on such systems, the user's primary inbox is an mbox file called Mailbox, in their home directory. Global shell config files /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/profile set the MAIL environment variable to ~/Mailbox for the users, which is enough to satisfy their interactive mail clients such as pine, mutt, and elm. The mail-storages.txt file in the dovecot docs seems to say that dovecot will not have a problem with this kind of setup. However, I can't figure out how to make it work. The MAIL variable is only set for users who are using shells like tcsh, bash, etc. The server apparently does not operate in a shell, so it is looking in some other location, perhaps /var/mail/$USER, so everyone's INBOX appears to be empty. It would help if mail-storages.txt, when referring to environment variables such as MAIL, would clarify *whose* environment variables are being referred to. Is it the environment of the user who built dovecot? Is it the environment of the user running the main dovecot process? Is it the environment of the user who is checking their mail / the user that dovecot runs setuid as? When and where do I set the MAIL variable so that dovecot will see it? Or is there some other problem? Any help appreciated...

[Dovecot] Help setting up SSL?
by Mike Matz 11 Jun '03

11 Jun '03

Hi, Sorry to bother, I don't know if this mailing list is the right place to look for help setting up dovecot.. Anyway I've got standard IMAP working fine, and I used mkcert.sh after editing the openssl config, and it seemed to work properly (I had to change some directories, I am using the FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT port).. Anyway, when I try to connect using Outlook, here is what the log shows: (without the exact ip address shown, dont hax0r my windows machine!) imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() syscall failed: EOF [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Panic: key not found from hash dovecot: Jun 10 13:13:14 Error: child 32935 (login) killed with signal 6 imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() syscall failed: EOF [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Panic: key not found from hash dovecot: Jun 10 13:13:14 Error: child 32937 (login) killed with signal 6 so it says "decryption failed or bad record mac".. Does this mean I don't have my .pem files set up correctly? Or is there a problem with the OpenSSL libraries? I'd sure appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks, Mike

Hi all - I've added an ebuild for 0.99.9.1 to bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22080 It includes the CR+LF patch. Should be trivial to update for .10 when it makes an appearance :-). Feel free to fix/improve this ebuild - I'm fairly new at them. Zach. -- Services & Support Bulletin Wireless | www.bulletinwireless.com This email is digitally signed | Key ID 0x3F9AA9A2

hi, so the third problem is ssl. the imaps is still not working (and I assume the same apply to pop3s too). I already send the log file which was generated when verbose ssl is set. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

hi, the second thing is the webmail. we use squirrelmail. actualy I don't know whose fault is, but they told that them imap server's:-) first problems is that those mails which has empty body (even if they has an attachments) simple not shown in the mail list (as they even not exists). it'd be nice to check this and find the reason of the problem. this happend with more people. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"
