[Dovecot] links causing dovecot endless search through user's homedirs
by Paul Letta 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hello, My user's imap folder locations are a mess. Some have them in /home/username/mail but a lot of them just have them in /home/username. So I need to have dovecot's base imapdir pointed directly at the user's homedirs. My problem now is that a lot of users have many links in their homedirs. Some even have circular links, such as: /home/username/foo/foo1/foo2/foo3/foo4 -> /home/username/foo/foo1 All these links are causing some dovecot imap process to endlessly search. An example of a strace of a running imap processes shows: stat64("/home/xxx//jlab/jlab/dev/tail/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/resul ts/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDT RY/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/results/fa ... and so on. Since I can't get a hold of my users and make them all put their imap folders in /home/username/mail and configure dovecot to just search there... Is there a way to tell dovecot to ignore links ?

Hi All, I have a client that is currently using cyrus but wants to use dovecot (1.0.rc15) sasl authentication. Is it possible to have the sasl authentication without having the dovecot binary running.

[Dovecot] PATCH: compile dovecot-1.1.beta14 with gcc 2.95
by Sven Anderson 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hi, I patched dovecot-1.1.beta14 to compile under gcc 2.95. __builtin_expect and __attribute__((malloc)) are only available since gcc 3.0, and __builtin_types_compatible_p since 3.1. Also the flexible array members (char a[]) are not available for gcc 2.95. So I replaced them with zero-extent arrays (char a[0]), which should also work, but that is gcc specific. A general pointer (char* a) should work as well, I guess. I have attached a patch that fixes all this. It is for beta13 but also works on beta14. BTW.: There is a typo in src/login-common/main.c, it's equivalent, not equilevant.

[Dovecot] antispam plugin: crm114 mode:"antispam signature not found"
by Peter Renner 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hi there, I'm happily using dovecot, and today tried to integrate the antispam imap plugin to automatically train/inform the crm114 spam classifier when moving messages in and out of folder "SPAM" However, when i try to move a message to folder spam, my client (Thunderbirds) says: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responden: antispam signature not found. Checking the source i found in signature.c *signature_hdr = "X-DSPAM-Signature"; This appears to originate from the DSPAM support of the plugin and apparently doesn't find these header lines. When using crm114 to sort spam there is no special header line. (or i didn't turn it on. do i _have_ to?) how can i get that antispam plugin to work with crm114? I'm using dovecot-1.0.10 TIA Peter Renner

[Dovecot] Dovecot NFS Indexes and IMAP Migration
by Andy Dills 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hi there, After being extremely impressed from implementing it in some customer installations, I've decided to migrate our mail infrastructure to dovecot. Being able to have /bin/checkpassword support across the board for pop, imap, and smtp authentication, as well as being able to ditch stunnel for the SSL layer...where were you in 2001?!? :) I have two concerns, the first is about the proper index configuration in our environment, and the second is about the best way to migrate mailboxes. Some quick background: we've long been distributed, with an L4 switch up front and a Netapp in the back, Mysql for metadata. We have a cluster of several FreeBSD boxes doing filtering and maildir delivery (postfix/amavisd-new), and we have a server that users get sent to for pop/imap. If it's down, they get sent to one of the filter boxes instead. So, regarding the indexes: >From reading the docs, it appears I would not be able to use the dovecot LDA due to locking issues (bummer), and I should configure dovecot to store index files on a local disk of the primary pop/imap server rather than on the netapp. My first question would be, how much of a performance hit should I expect from having to update the indexes when mail is checked rather then when mail is delivered since I can't use the LDA? Is this a minor issue like I expect, or can it be something the user actually notices when checking mail? In a worst case scenario, if the pop/imap server is down, and another server is used, how long would it take to create an index for an account with a few hundered megs, several thousand messages? I'm wondering if, since I have plenty of overhead available on the netapp, I should just store the indexes there in case another server must be used. I'm basically looking for more information about the pros and cons of storing the indexes on the nfs volume in a situation where a single server would normally be providing pop/imap service. Regarding migration: My concerns regarding migration relate to how best to process existing maildirs by both converting the previous imap metadata and calculating an initial index for each account. First off, I can't seem to find any info on a way to create an initial index file for all of the mailboxes. Can anybody suggest a command I can use for this? I'm sure I just overlooked it. Regarding the migrations, we have both courier and bincimap to deal with. (We use qmail's pop, so no complications with migrating courier). Fortunately, courier is used for normal imap on 143, bincimap is only used for webmail. So, it would seem that metadata from bincimap could be ignored; the only thing it would seem important to preserve is mailbox subscriptions. Please correct this assumption if I'm wrong. bincimap uses a INBOX/folder format in the subscription file, however the actual folders are stored exactly the same as the INBOX.folder style of courier. So, it seems like my best option is to modify the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script to consider the mailboxes subscribed to via bincimap. Here's a modified convert_subscriptions that seems to work well in limited testing, feel free to point out any idiot mistakes, it's been a while since I've done anything substantial in perl. I would have sent a patch but I suspect I'm the only person who will ever use this change and critiquing it would be easier with a full context. sub convert_subscriptions { my ($dir, $owner_uid, $owner_gid) = @_; my $in_fname = "$dir/courierimapsubscribed"; # ADDED: The bincimap file to parse my $in_fname2 = "$dir/.bincimap-subscribed"; my $out_fname = "$dir/subscriptions"; # MODIFIED: Return only if neither exist return if (!-f $in_fname && !-f $in_fname2); if (!$overwrite && -f $out_fname) { print "$out_fname already exists, not overwritten\n" if (!$quiet); return; } return if (!$do_conversion); my ($fin, $fin2, $fout); open ($fin, $in_fname) || die $!; open ($fin2, $in_fname2) || die $!; open ($fout, ">$out_fname") || die $!; # ADDED: An array to track mailboxes we've written in case both files exist my @subs; while (<$fin>) { chomp $_; if (/^INBOX$/i) { print $fout "INBOX\n"; push @subs, "INBOX\n"; } elsif (/^INBOX\.(.*)$/i) { print $fout "$1\n"; push @subs, "$1\n"; } else { # unknown. keep it as-is. print $fout "$_\n"; push @subs, "$_\n"; } } close $fin; # ADDED: A second loop, same as the first, but also checking to make # sure that the mailbox has not already been written to the new file to # eliminate duplicates. while (<$fin2>) { chomp $_; my $sub = $_; if (/^INBOX$/i && !grep (/^INBOX\n/i, @subs)) { print $fout "INBOX\n"; } elsif (/^INBOX\/(.*)$/i && !grep (/^$1\n/i, @subs)) { print $fout "$1\n"; } elsif (!grep(/^$sub\n/, @subs)) { # unknown. keep it as-is. print $fout "$sub\n"; } } close $fin; close $fin2; close $fout; chown $owner_uid, $owner_gid, $out_fname; } Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

[Dovecot] cram-md5 crashes passdb

Hi all, When setting auth mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 and only having pam passdb and passwd userdb. dovecot nevers starts and crashes reporting: Feb 29 10:19:41 pitux-clust-op1 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.10 starting up Feb 29 10:19:41 pitux-clust-op1 dovecot: auth(default): CRAM-MD5 mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs Feb 29 10:19:41 pitux-clust-op1 dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down Feb 29 10:19:41 pitux-clust-op1 dovecot: child 24722 (auth) returned error 89 Removing crom-md5 from auth mechanisms solves the problem.

[Dovecot] imaptest update
by Timo Sirainen 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

I've finally added support for "normal" command/reply tests for my imaptest program (http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest) My plan is that imaptest will include some generic IMAP compliancy tests and Dovecot will include some more strict Dovecot-specific checks. "make dist" will run all these tests before building a tarball, so in future I shouldn't be able to release horribly broken versions. :) I haven't yet had time to implement all the features that I'd like (e.g. unordered list handling needs support), but I think the current features will allow testing quite a lot already. http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest/Tests explains how it works. There are currently two files: the actual test file and *.mbox file where the mails are appended from to the test mailbox. I'm going to also add *.conf file which allows specifying specific dovecot.conf settings. This way I can test all these different namespace (etc.) variations as well. A couple of examples to show what's possible: # Check that EXAMINE and STATUS return same UIDVALIDITY examine $mailbox * ok [uidvalidity $uidvalidity] ok [read-only] ok status $mailbox (uidvalidity) * status $mailbox (uidvalidity $uidvalidity) # Test EXPUNGE handling with 2 connections: connections: 2 1 ok fetch * uid * $seq fetch (uid $uid) 1 ok store $seq flags \deleted * $seq fetch (flags (\deleted \recent)) 1 ok expunge * $seq expunge 2 ok fetch $seq uid * $seq fetch (uid $uid) 2 ok noop * $seq expunge # LIST testing: state: auth ok list "" "" * list (\noselect) $sep "" # "" means that delete can return anything # (although restricting it to "ok" or "no" would be better) delete $mailbox${sep}test "" delete $mailbox${sep}test2 "" ok create $mailbox${sep}test ok create $mailbox${sep}test2 ok list "" $mailbox$sep% * list (\hasnochildren) $sep $mailbox${sep}test * list (\hasnochildren) $sep $mailbox${sep}test2

[Dovecot] "too little data" error still occurring in 1.0.10
by Mike Brown 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Greetings- I'm running dovecot 1.0.10, but am seeing the "too little data" error that was supposedly fixed in 1.0.9. Not sure how long it's been going on. I have a straightforward mbox setup, and am using Thunderbird to check my inbox. It can't read the box.

[Dovecot] Optional Sieve includes
by Anders 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

I (think that I) want a global Sieve setup like this: require ["include"]; include :global "spam.sieve"; include :personal "folders.sieve"; include :personal "vacation.sieve"; ... that does not fail if a user has not created the personal filters. Any ideas how to do something like that? I read the source, but it seems that a failed include will exit the Sieve, so the above will not work. Incidentally, I think I found a typo, so a patch is below.

Am I applying the auth_cache_* variables wrong or is something else wrong? Cheers, Jan

[Dovecot] multiple ip and ssl
by Lampa 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

Hello, is possible in some way use on each ip address different certificate (for imap, for pop3). There are options like (but that is not enough for me): protocol imap { listen = *:10143 ssl_listen = *:10943 .. } protocol pop3 { listen = *:10100 .. } I have server for 4 domains (each has own ip address), so i need bind one ip address to one domain to one certificate(each certificate contains name of domain): domain1.tld (x.x.x.100) -> certificate domain1.tld.pem domain2.tld (x.x.x.101) -> certificate domain2.tld.pem domain3.tld (x.x.x.102) -> certificate domain3.tld.pem domain4.tld (x.x.x.103) -> certificate domain4.tld.pem Or i must run different instances of dovecot ? (using other config) ? Thank you for advices. -- Lampa

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0.10 <- IMAP -> Nokia N95 ?
by Patrick 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has IMAP working between Dovecot 1.0.10 and a Nokia N95 (8GB version with firmware 15.x.x.x)? I've been trying to make it work using a default Dovecot config but the N95 just hangs when updating the folder list which has a bunch of nested folders. So I made a new test user and started from there. That works but the moment I add a folder in Evolution and a subfolder in that one then the N95 seems to fall apart. In wireshark all I see are a bunch of TCP transmissions over and over from the Dovecot server to the N95 and the N95 just sits there. I also configured Dovecot with a basic private namespace but that did not make any difference: namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u/ inbox = yes } Any tips much appreciated. Thanks and regards, Patrick

[Dovecot] Multiple password schemes
by Jan van den Berg 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hi, right now I have default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT in my dovecot-sql-auth.conf file. This works; however I noticed because of history a lot of my users still have a CRYPT password (not a MD5-CRYPT password). Now I get these errors: dovecot: Feb 26 13:08:17 Info: auth-worker(default): sql(***, *******): MD5-CRYPT(0lifant) != 'i3/S6ZswGSfbk' Any way to make Dovecot use another (fallback) password scheme when the default scheme isn't working? Cheers, Jan

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0 + postfix quota warning

26 Feb '08

Hello, I need to know how to make a quota warning message from Dovecot or Postfix. I'm using Dovecot 1.0.rc15 and Postfix 2.3.3. I didn't installed the quota-warning patch cause i read that it doesn't work with dovecot filesystem quotas (as i'm using). What else can i use for this? I wanna warn users when they reach ..let's say 90% of their quota by sending an e-mail to their address. I'm using maildir format.

[Dovecot] Crash on malformed ldap user_filter

[Dovecot] Redundant timers
by Anders 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hello. I am on an irrational crusade against unneeded timers (it started as a well-meaining power saving exercise), and I have now started removing polling in Dovecot. Attached is a patch with the work I did on this the other night. Would something like that be acceptable, or should I make it in a different way? There seems to be no one-shot timer support, right? Is there a Dovecot coding style document? (I did notice that there appears to be an 80 char width that I exceeded) Cheers, Anders

[Dovecot] Authentication using multiple password schemes
by hever＠web.de 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hi there, I tried to patch the actual Dovecot 1.1 rc1 with the http://dovecot.org/patches/1.1/auth-multi-password.diff. The patch doesn't work for this version and I don't want to get an old version. Is this patch perhaps in the 1.1 rc1version included? I'm not sure because I don't really know how it's to use. I thought about returning some password fields from a database. If not could someone provide a working patch ? I need this patch because I'm going to provide NTLM and CRAM-MD5 POP/IMAP authentication because Outlook doesn't support CRAM-MD5 as non-plaintext authentication and I don't want store plaintext passwords. _______________________________________________________________________ Jetzt neu!

[Dovecot] mbox with two storage locations
by Bill Pitz 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hello, I'm trying to migrate a legacy system to Dovecot in which I need to support mbox format storage with the following parameters: Inbox is in: /var/spool/mail/%u Additional mail folders are stored in: /var/spool/mail2/%u (i.e. Spam, Sent, Trash, Drafts, etc.) /var/spool/mail and /var/spool/mail2 are configured with the same permissions. (Read/write/execute user root, Read/write/execute group mail). I've added mail as an additional group in the Dovecot configuration. # dovecot --version 1.0.10 # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot.conf ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login first_valid_uid: 100 mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: mbox:/var/spool/mail2/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd The problem is what when I run this configuration, I am not able to see any of the contents of /var/spool/mail2. I ran around with this problem for a while and ultimately found that the following fixes it: cp -Rpfd /var/spool/mail2 /home Change Dovecot to use /home/mail2/%u instead: # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot.conf ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login first_valid_uid: 100 mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: mbox:/home/mail2/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Further investigation revealed that no path outside of /home would work for the storage of the mbox directory. Any ideas? Everything seems to work great except for this one (pretty major) issue. Also, /home, /var, and / are separate filesystems. I'm not sure if that's playing into this or not (doesn't seem like it, since it seems to have no issue storing INBOX in /var/spool/mail). Thanks, -Bill

I'm getting "Maximum number of mail processes exceeded" messages when 512 imap Processes are active.

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot Sieve scalability

Hi, What exactly do you mean with "deliver preps the index"? Dovecot itself preps/creates/alters the index, when retrieving mail; right? Or are you (probably) saying this is one more benefit of using 'deliver'. Anyone know of any 'deliver'/(dovecot) stresstests with regards to forking and threading of the deliver binary?

More so for the average disorganized INBOX in my only folder customers. Sieve makes a lot of things smoother for users, the customer. Especially if they expect server side rules. Obviously the rules that drop each message into a Backups or forward messages to other hosts take up what they take up. My sievec files have ancient mtimes.

[Dovecot] Dovecot Sieve scalability
by Jan van den Berg 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hi, I just finished setting up a functional design with Dovecot+Sieve and it works like a charm. However I'm having serious doubts about the scalability of this. Here is part of a discussion we're having here: About Dovecot+Sieve. What happens here is that your MTA is configured to pass _all_ email to Dovecot which is configured as a LDA. In practice this means this in the Exim config: command = /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver So you call on a single binary "deliver". This binary then looks for a .dovecot.sieve file in the user maildir, _compiles_ it to .dovecot.sievec file, and than drops the mail according to the rules. Calling a single binary: that's isn't threaded, doesn't fork, and that has to compile a file (everytime?) it's called isn't scalable. Multiply this with 100 mails(calls) per second and this is bound for problems. The Dovecot/Sieve implementation is functional but not very elegant or robust. But this can be explained because Dovecot is build for _retrieving_ mail (imap/pop) and _not_ delivering mail. Any thoughts on this? Are there people out there with large Dovecot+Sieve implementations (100k+ users). Are there benchmarks available; how well does it perform under heavy load (mails/sec)? Cheers, Jan

[Dovecot] Update from 1.0.10 -> 1.1rc1 Inverted quota warning values?
by Ralf Hildebrandt 23 Feb '08

23 Feb '08

I used 1.0.10 with the quota-rewrite patch for v1.0. With that, I configured: quota_warning = storage=10%% /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning 90 quota_warning2 = storage=5%% /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning 95 quota_warning3 = storage=1%% /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning 99 with 1.1, the logic for the quota_warning entries changed (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/New) quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 Is that really correct (I admit, the new way is more intuitive to me). -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Ralf.Hildebrandt(a)charite.de) snickebo(a)charite.de Postfix - Einrichtung, Betrieb und Wartung Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 http://www.arschkrebs.de "Java is, in many ways, C++--." - Michael Feldman.

[Dovecot] Maildir Subsystems
by Aaron Wiebe 23 Feb '08

23 Feb '08

Greetings - new to the list, so apologies of I'm asking questions that have been brought up before. I work for a large email provider, currently using qmail, vpopmail and courier-imap. We tend to make fairly regular customizations of the software, and if you folks have any knowledge of courier's code layout, you probably can understand why we hate working on it. Anyway, I am looking at the possibility of migrating to dovecot, after a quick review of the code layout. It is MUCH nicer to read. But I have a few specific questions: 1. We customize our maildir system fairly heavily, and I'm wondering where the maildir code is located. Specifically, anywhere the app actually does work on disk related to folders, mail content and quotas. While I have reviewed the code in brief, I thought it would be easier to poke this list to get pointed in the right direction. 2. Courier works quite well over NFS for us, and I'm curious why your documentation covers NFS more specifically. What aspects of the filesystem are normally used that don't translate easily to work over NFS? Do you use stuff like inotify or atimes? 3. If anyone has any suggestions on how to migrate tens of thousands of imap users from courier to dovecot in a few hour window, I'd like to hear them :) Thanks, Aaron Wiebe

[Dovecot] Put existing mails (in Maildir) through sieve filter?
by Andreas Ntaflos 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hello list, the scenario: A user has about 30k mails in his Maildir (all in INBOX) and needs to apply filtering. Provided he writes a working .dovecot.sieve script, is there a way to put all those already delivered mails through Dovecot's LDA and thus have the sieve filter rules applied? Or is there any other way to apply sieve rules to already delivered mails? TIA Andreas -- Andreas "daff" Ntaflos Vienna, Austria GPG Fingerprint: 6234 2E8E 5C81 C6CB E5EC 7E65 397C E2A8 090C A9B4

[Dovecot] Postfix on one host/Dovecot (mailboxes) on another - How?
by k bah 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.0.5 on OpenSUSE 10.3. I run postfix/amavis/clamav on one host, postfix uses LDAP to identify whether or not users exist. On this same machine I was running dovecot, so I used dovecot LDA on Postfix master.cf (as mentioned on http://heinous.org/wiki/Virtual_Domains,_Postfix,_Dovecot_LDA,_and_LDAP#Pos…) Now I want to run Dovecot on another machine, how should I configure postfix on that first machine? first machine: the domain my users know/use; webmail; postfix/amavis/clamav; mx record for domain all users have mail addresses; imapproxy (pointing to the second machine, where the imap server sits). second machine: just dovecot and user's mailboxes. (I need to keep this machine doing only this task, because of the load) Is there a way to do that just by adding a mailbox_transport to the first machine's postfix? thanks = Mobile (Volumetric) Concrete Mixers The innovative leader in the mobile concrete mixer industry.

[Dovecot] Deliver - Virtual users
by Tobias Balle-Petersen 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hello... I have dovecot 1.0.10 running with users in an LDAP database. Things are working as they should with IMAP. However, I can't seem to make deliver w. postfix work they way I want. My problems are: Mail to users who do not exist in LDAP or locally are accepted and mailfolders are created. I want mail to users that do not exist in LDAP or locally to be rejected. Mail is delivered to users even though they are over quota. Below I have included a bit of my log. This is what I see when sending a mail to an existing user. I don't understand the part that says: dovecot: auth(default): passwd(tbp(a)kontrapunkt.dk): lookup In my database users are stored as usernames without domains. Deliver seems to lookup the name with domain? The lookup ends with "unknown user". Then I wonder, why is the mail delivered if the user is unknown? I have included the "protocol lda" part from my dovecot.conf and the result of "dovecot -n". Can someone help me get this sorted out?

This way I'm the only one to see your post and I'm not sure that I can help. Also other users may benefit from your experience if it's available online. When you post to doveco(a)dovecot.org a copy is sent to me anyway. I'm not sure that I can help. I think you should check your permissions on the folder. And I think you should try with: fileinto "Junk"; Instead of: fileinto ".Junk"; (without the preceding dot that is) The preceding dot will automatically be added to the folder name by dovecot so it may create confusion if you use it too. Dovecot always uses the dot-prefix on folder names in the file system but this isn't really part of the IMAP/Sieve folder name that you wanna use. Regards, Mikkel

[Dovecot] verbose IMAP logging
by Robert Chien 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hi, Is there a way to enable telemetry or debug-level logging in Dovecot IMAP, to see the exact IMAP command issued by the client and server? E.g. to confirm if a certain MUA is indeed using IMAP IDLE, or if it's doing LIST or LSUB. The IMAP connection is made over TLS/SSL, so tcpdump won't work. Thanks, Robert

[Dovecot] Dovecot on CentOS5 - (login) returned error 127
by Tim Alberts 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Running CentOS Linux 5 with sendmail-procmail putting email in /var/spool/mail. I'm running pop3 only with the servers configured to authenticate with ldap (which is configured and running OK). I do have this same configuration on an older FC6 box and it works fine. I'm thinking I just need to upgrade dovecot given all the nss_ldap problems it has had, but I hate not using RPM packages and CentOS does not have upgraded packages. Hardware is Dell PowerEdge 1900 (64bit) with 2G RAM. Hopefully I'm doing something stupid and there's an easy fix for the packages and configuration I have. I'm seeing the following in the /var/log/maillog when I run dovecot. When I log in via telnet, I get the connection, but it never responds when I enter a user.

[Dovecot] Dovecot User Script?
by David White 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

I am new to Dovecot. I have been using Postfix as a mail relay to our Exchange box and have been happy with the setup. The Linux box also runs Apache and VSFTPD for our WWW and FTP services. However, we are now starting up a new smaller domain. I am grabbed a spare box and have setup Fedora 7 on the machine. I am can handle apache, vsftpd, and postfix alright, but I am not familiar with dovecot. I need a simple setup of about 15-20 users. Instead of setting up each user through the terminal is there a PHP script that anyone would recommend? A setup of virtual users in mysql is preferred, since I already have that installed. I found a HOWTO on Howtoforge with ISPconfig, but it did not setup Dovecot. They forgot that setup. Any suggestions would be useful. Thanks! David White dwhite(a)fddisystems.com
