[Dovecot] The Status: header is forced
by Olivier Tharan 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hi, I started testing dovecot for our next POP/IMAP server (nearing production state), and noticed that the Status: header is always added, with a value of 'O' or 'RO'. This happens in `lib-index/mbox/mbox-rewrite.c'. This does not seem to happen in the Maildir case. Is the Status: header really needed in every case? This breaks mutt which displays mails with a 'O' flag instead of 'N'. My dovecot is 0.99.10.4 (FreeBSD port), but the behavior is still the same in the CVS version. -- olive

http://dovecot.org/test/ Just mbox fixes since 1.0-test16. The logic is simpler and more correct now. Can anyone break it anymore? I actually tested it a while with Evolution and several mailboxes and it didn't break at least immediately. :) Now maybe a few more days and I dare trying this thing myself with my real mboxes (yes, I'm still using them).

[Dovecot] 1.0-test18
by Timo Sirainen 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ Again mostly just mbox fixes. The good thing is that the code is only getting cleaner and more understandable with every release. But I think it's clean enough now that this release should work :) It also has checkpassword passdb support. Supporting it as userdb isn't yet implemented. I think I'll make some generic caching thingy, so that if passdb is same as userdb, they both could be queried from database in one query. Probably by allowing pass_query/pass_filter to return them.

[Dovecot] Maildir + Evolution
by mkortela＠cc.hut.fi 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

I don't know if this is an Evolution bug or not, but when I use the maildir format with Dovecot 0.99.10p2 (from OpenBSD packages collection) and connect to it from Evolution 1.4 using IMAP, Evolution displays subfolders incorrectly. It actually does not show any subfolders, only root folders with names like "Folder.Subfolder" and "Folder.Subfolder.Subsubfolder". There's no such problem when using traditional mailboxes. Is this an Evolution bug or one of Dovecot's? I had thought the IMAP … [View More]

[Dovecot] Add SSL to Dovecot & SquirrelMail
by Eric Kahklen 18 Jun '04

I am relatively new to setting up mail servers and wondered how difficult it would be to add SSL to my current Dovecot & SquirrelMail setup. Would I just add SSL to the squirrelmail directory under appache with my certificate? Does Dovecot need any changes to the configuration? I have it working fine without SSL. Thanks, Eric

[Dovecot] IMAP and webmail applications
by Tom Allison 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

I've been hunting around for a webmail application other than squirrelmail for reasons that really don't matter. But I'm seeing that a lot of these applications tend to sometimes access servers via IMAP, but they always seem to have a touch more information needed than might be for an IMAP session. An example is openwebmail. It authenticates very similar to how dovecot authenticates, with a userdb and passdb specifications. It reads directly off the disk for some of it's activities. … [View More]

whats the recommended way to share a user auth info between dovecot and postfix? sasldb seems like it could work but nobody really seems to like using the giant mass that is sasl. i also cant find any information on actually getting dovecot to use sasl past the configure options. i looked at timo's patch for postfix to use dovecot-auth but it doesnt apply correctly on the 2.1 branch. so what are people using to share passwords between the two without using the system passwd?

[Dovecot] /var/mail dotlocking workaround
by Timo Sirainen 16 Jun '04

16 Jun '04

I added "mail_extra_groups" setting which can be used to give imap/pop3 process access to additional groups. So what this means is if you set it to "mail" you can finally remove o-w access from /var/mail directory. Leaving the sticky bit could still be a good idea, so there's no way users to be able to delete each others inboxes. Here's a patch against 0.99.10.5: http://dovecot.org/patches/mail-extra-groups.diff

I've tried to write the new mbox code in a way that it could be moved into generic flat-file library with mbox-specific code being implemented on top of that.

I've recently installed dovecot 0.99.10.5 on a redhat 7.3 machine. Everything seems to be running fine and smoothly for the most part, however in the past few days I've seen a couple of duplicate emails (and so have a few of my users) which don't appear to have been processed twice by sendmail. also, on one of my IMAP sub-folders my mail client (mozilla thunderbird version 0.6+ (20040610) nightly) reported 1 unread email, but it didn't show up in the list. it appears that the index for … [View More]

[Dovecot] 'append aborted'
by Tom Allison 12 Jun '04

12 Jun '04

I'm copying all my archives from one imap server on one machine to the imap-ssl dovecot server on another machine. After a bit, there's an error that's tossed up on my mozilla client that says the imap server couldn't complete the operation with the message append aborted. It keeps popping up after anything from 50 to 300 emails. Last night I was able to move ~12000 emails from one machine to the other without the ssl enabled. Any hints on what to look for?

(sorry I don't know enough > about TLS). I use iptables so that only 127.0.0.1 can access IMAP. Everyone else has to use IMAPS. John

Hi All, Is there a IMSP server that can work with Dovecot, or would I have to change to Cyrus Imap server to have a server component that will integrate. Cheers Mark

[Dovecot] tcp wrappers?
by Roman Bogoyev 11 Jun '04

How can I secure dovecot listening on port 143 to specific machines only? Squirrelmail suggests using non-ssl if the imap daemon is on the same host... Otherwise squirrelmail could use TLS but what about other clients wanting to use SSL on port 993? (sorry I don't know enough about TLS). Thanks, Roman. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Roman Bogoyev, I.T.

the error originates in the source C file setting.c as fd = open(path, O_RDONLY); - if (fd < 0) - i_fatal("Can't open configuration file %s: %m", path); + if (fd < 0) { + i_error("Can't open configuration file %s: %m", path); + return FALSE; + } so it is posible that i don't have a lib or header file that is required I did not get any errors on install doning a tar.gz install on Fedora core2 minimal install -----Original Message----- From: Nico De Beer - MWEB [mailto:NDeBeer@… [View More]
