I just tried configuring the submission port on postfix but the problem persists even sending by port 587. About what Harald said, I guess I initially missed the point of the problem, it was just my conclusion because that error happens always after the logout message appears, and SMTP authentication is set on my client, so I deduced the problem had something to do with the logout thing. The curious thing is it just happens with SMTP, not with POP3/IMAP protocols. Thanks again! Nicolás

[Dovecot] Sieve & Adding headers.
by Steven Haigh 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi all, I've just migrated my mail system from procmail to managesieve/sieve and I'm having trouble trying to duplicate a could of rules I used to use in my procmail config. One particular rule would be this: :0 Wfh * ^Sender: owner-scientific-linux-devel(a)LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV | (sed -e '/^Subject:/ s/\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\] *//g'| sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/Precedence: list/Precedence: list\nList-Post: <mailto:scientific-linux-devel@fnal.gov>/g') :0 A .Mail\ Lists.SL-Devel/ This in effect adds the header "List-Post: <mailto:scientific-linux-devel@fnal.gov>" after "Precedence: list". This allows me to use the Reply To List functionality in Thunderbird. Another rule is: :0 Wfh * ^X-BeenThere: users(a)lists.repoforge.org | sed -e '/^Subject:/ s/\[users\] *//g' :0 A .Mail\ Lists.RPMForge/ This removes the [users] tag from the subject of each message to the RPMForge / RepoForge mailing lists. Is there a way to do this with sieve? Nothing I have seen seems to do this - however I'm only a beginner in this area. Please CC myself as well as the list. I'm not currently subscribed. -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299

FIRST: do not top-post and NOT reply off-list (no i refuse to repair the thread) if he would know that these are different things hewould not write "This entails errors when trying to send e-mails after this auto logout" NO, NO and NO - this entails NOT sending errors!

[Dovecot] Remove leading and trailing spaces from folder names?
by Ralf Hildebrandt 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi! Anybody got a doveadm script which can remove leading and trailing spaces from folder names? Right now we're migrating mailboxes from dovecot -> Exchange, and Exchange cannot handle leading and trailing spaces in Folder names. -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de | http://www.charite.de

They look sort of like what alpine would produce. Do your clients have direct filesystem access to the INBOX spool? Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] lock file strangeness
by McGraw, Robert P 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

We are running dovecot-1.2.10 on a Solaris 10 x86 host. Starting on July 24 I started seeing the following type lock files I the /var/mail directory. -rw-rw-rw- 1 agab mail 0 Jul 24 10:08 agabriel.lock.1343138908.28535.hardy.purdue.edu -rw-rw-rw- 1 agab mail 0 Jul 24 10:08 agabriel.lock.1343138907.28535.hardy.purdue.edu -rw-rw-rw- 1 agab mail 0 Jul 24 10:08 agabriel.lock.1343138906.28535.hardy.purdue.edu -rw-rw-rw- 1 agab mail 0 Jul 24 10:08 agabriel.lock.1343138905.28535.hardy.purdue.edu They are being created by only three of our users. What is common with the three users is that they are using alpine mail client. Again these just started on July 24. We have over 300 user and a lot of them use alpine but only three users seem to generate these lock files. Can some one tell me what and why these are being created and why they are not getting destroyed? Thanks Robert _____________________________________________________________________ Robert P.
