[Dovecot] Bug? Folder tree confusion
by Dominic Marks 25 Jun '03

25 Jun '03

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour: o Open an IMAP mailbox o Make a new folder (foo/) o Make another new folder under foo (foo/bar) o Delete foo o Bar will go away and foo will remain (Outlook bug ?) o Try and delete foo, you won't be able to because Dovecot thinks foo is not empty and Outlook thinks it is. This is using Dovecot 0.99.10-rc2 and MS Outlook 2000. Don't know if a bug lies within here somewhere (not nessarily in Dovecot), just something I noticed while playing around. Thanks, -- Dominic <dom at cus.org.uk> <dominic.marks at npl.co.uk>

[Dovecot] Bug? High CPU Usage after nessus scan
by Jens Gutzeit 25 Jun '03

25 Jun '03

Hi all, I think I've found a Bug in current rc2 (same occours with rc1 and 0.99.9.1). I'am running dovecot with imap, pop3 and the ssl equivalents, after a nessus scan of my host with Bruteforce checks on IMAP, imap-login eats up lots of cpu. Before the scan: dovecot 22342 0.0 0.1 2320 636 ? SN Jun18 0:00 imap-login dovecot 5841 0.0 0.1 2320 692 ? SN Jun21 0:00 imap-login dovecot 5852 0.0 0.1 2320 692 ? SN Jun21 0:00 imap-login Looks wonderfull ;) After the scan: dovecot 20059 39.5 0.2 2340 820 ? RN 20:02 14:08 imap-login dovecot 20733 0.0 0.2 2320 804 ? SN 20:03 0:00 imap-login dovecot 20734 0.0 0.2 2320 804 ? SN 20:03 0:00 imap-login dovecot 20780 41.3 0.2 2340 820 ? RN 20:03 14:04 imap-login dovecot 20855 0.0 0.2 2320 804 ? SN 20:04 0:00 imap-login This was on my local test machine, the same occours on a production machine, both are running Debian GNU/Linux woody, one with Openssl and one with GNUTLS. Even 2 hours after the scan the CPU Usage is so high, I don't think this is normal behaviour? The logs didn't say anything during the test. If you need more information please tell me what data you need and I look for it. -- Best regards/freundliche Grüße Jens Gutzeit http://www.gutzeit.at

[Dovecot] folder subscriptions
by seth vidal 25 Jun '03

25 Jun '03

Hi, I've got a lot of users using uw-imapd(yah, yah, I know) I'd like to get them off of that and onto dovecot at some point in the indeterminate future. so excluding bizarre path resolution things that uw-imapd has left around. is it more or less cp ~/mailboxlist ~/mail/subscriptions? It looks like that - but I wanted to verify :) thanks -sv

[Dovecot] New dovecot Debian packages.
by Jaldhar H. Vyas 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

I forgot to mention it here: Christof alerted me to the fact that there was a typo in my package which was causing LDAP support to fail. So I made new packages bringing them upto 0.99.10.rc2 in the process and uploaded them to unstable last night. They should arrive in the archive today. A backport to woody is also available from http://www.braincells.com/open/ -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar(a)debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

Hi, with current test releases SSL doesn't work anymore for me on AIX 4.3 with dovecot-0.99.10-test14.
