[Dovecot] LDAP bind questions
by Jared 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

Hello, I've got dovecot set up to authenticate against our LDAP server. So far seems to work well. I have two concerns that I haven't been able to find answers for in the documentation or archives. Is there any intention to support "authentication binds" so you don't have to bind as a user with read privileges to everyone's userPassword attribute? For security purposes I'd like to see this functionality. And my next concern would become a non-issue if the above was supported, but is … [View More]

[Dovecot] Auth problems against Eudora
by Lars Clausen 06 Jul '03

Hi, I'm trying to set up dovecot to do pop3 from Eudora, but it keeps breaking on authentication attempts using plain auth. When I snoop the connection with tcpflow, here's what I see: 128.174.246.068.00110-062.107.004.050.49653: +OK dovecot ready. 128.174.246.068.00110-062.107.004.050.49653: +OK dovecot ready. 128.174.246.068.00110-062.107.004.050.49653: 062.107.004.050.49653-128.174.246.068.00110: CAPA 128.174.246.068.00110-062.107.004.050.49653: +OK CAPA TOP USER UIDL RESP-CODES STLS … [View More]

[Dovecot] "Internal Error" from maildirs (new user)
by Sean 'Shaleh' Perry 05 Jul '03

05 Jul '03

I decided to give dovecot a try this morning. To create a test system I copied mail from my wife and myself into /var/spool/imap. This mail was already in maildir format from our mail clients. I set the mail env to maildir:/var/spool/imap/%u. Below is a session (via telnet): <begin> . OK Logged in. . list "" * * LIST (\UnMarked) "." "blackbox" * LIST (\UnMarked) "." "blackbox-devel" * LIST (\UnMarked) "." "debian-devel" * LIST (\UnMarked) "." "debian-dpkg" * LIST (\UnMarked) "." "… [View More]

RE: [Dovecot] 0.99.10 released
by Maikel Verheijen 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

Hi Timo (and list :) > No bug reports since rc4, so here it is. [snip] One small question: How far is nfs safety implemented now? You did a lot of work on nfs-safety for the index files, how about the other files? And does it need specific configure options? Thank you for this release though, I will have a look at it tonight ;-) Kind regards, Maikel Verheijen.

Hi all, I want to migrate our customers mailserver (400 mail accounts), from cyrus-2.0.16 to Dovecot. Anyone an idea how I can preserve the read/unread status and what can I do with the UIDL? (cyrus used a different algorithm for UIDL). Thanks in advance. Best regards, Jens Gutzeit

[Dovecot] Configuration file changes
by Timo Sirainen 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

I was going to add support for "configuration groups", but got a bit stuck at how the logic is supposed to work. I think there could be different settings based on IP/port it's listening in, or based on given username. I can't really describe how it would work, and I'm not entirely sure myself either :) Does this make sense: # (default settings here) # if auth groups are defined here, they are included in all groups below group 1.server.org { protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s … [View More]

[Dovecot] Dovecot first impressions
by Matthias Andree 30 Jun '03

30 Jun '03

Hi, I have only recently become aware of Dovecot and gave it a try. The previous 0.99.9.1 version didn't work well for me (OpenSSL), I dropped it, but 0.99.10 has come just in time (saw it on freshmeat) and I thought I'd give it another try if it promised SSL fixes, and it's sorta working for me (i. e. it works with mutt, Mozilla, sylpheed, but not cone -- but cone is beta and has SSL issues with certificate verification, I seem to have hosed the setup). Anyways, I was delighted to see how … [View More]quick it is to install an IMAP/POP3 server -- but being a Courier-IMAP user, I have some compatibility concerns, but these appear to be minor, and the daemontools <URL:http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html> friendliness (dovecot -F) is very much to my taste as well. One deals with NAMESPACE -- it takes manual intervention in order to convince Mozilla of the new namespace and stuff. Courier-IMAP used to provide a NAMESPACE, but Mozilla leaves it unchanged if I point it to Dovecot. The other is the naming itself, easily visible from the LIST replies below: Courier prefixes everything with "INBOX" (which I believe is reflected in the NAMESPACE, but it appears as though most clients were only tested against UWIMAP). Apparently, mail user clients (particularly the Mozilla derivatives) do a better job of presenting Dovecot's layout, so this one has my preference, although it differs from Courier's and Cyrus 2.1's. Timo, could you add the NAMESPACE extension to Dovecot? That would be a great migration aid for people switching over from Courier-IMAP. Other than that, my first impression is a very good one. One question (I may have missed it in the docs): how do I properly create folders with national characters (umlauts) in their names? Apparently, Courier-IMAP and Dovecot just forward the file name verbatim when I type maildirmake -f t=E4=DFt Maildir, which doesn't look right. OTOH, I am well aware that the IMAP servers can't possible guess the character set, so it must be my "maildirmake" that is flawed rather than the server. This is Courier-IMAP: . namespace * NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".")) NIL (("shared." ".")) . OK NAMESPACE completed. . list "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.INBOX.Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "."
