[Dovecot] maildir file name flags out of order?
by Aaron Solochek 11 May '07

11 May '07

I was trying to figure out why my false-positive spam messages were being tagged as "personal" by thunderbird, and I noticed a possible problem. According to DJB: http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html > New flags may be defined later. Flags must be stored in ASCII order: e.g., "2,FRS". Looking at my maildir, I am seeing flags out of order, such as "2,Sdae" Shouldn't that be "2,Sade"? -Aaron

[Dovecot] Disconnected for inactivity in reading our output top=0/0
by Chris Gosley 11 May '07

11 May '07

Would someone please help with this error. Using: dovecot-1.0-2.rc28.fc6 On: Fedora Core 6 130 users all connect remotely via ADSL to server to pop their email. None of them have any problems at all with pop3. 3 users in one office, connect to the server via a NAT'd ADSL. Intermittently those three users will get a timeout error, Logfile shows: Apr 19 12:50:53 mail dovecot: auth(default): pam(vu0095,165.228.62.107): lookup service=dovecot Apr 19 12:50:53 mail dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=vu0095 Apr 19 12:50:53 mail dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 376 12300 1 Apr 19 12:50:53 mail dovecot: auth(default): passwd(vu0095,165.228.62.107): lookup Apr 19 12:50:53 mail dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 376 vu0095 system_user=vu0095 uid=580 gid=580 home=/home/vu0095 Apr 19 12:50:53 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<vu0095>, method=PLAIN, rip=165.228.62.107, lip=203.36.211.209 Apr 19 12:51:49 mail dovecot: POP3(vu0095): Disconnected for inactivity in reading our output top=0/0, retr=1/0, del=0/2, size=25266 Apr 19 12:51:49 mail dovecot: POP3(vu0095): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=2/25393, del=2/2, size=25266 99% of the time everything is perfect, it is only the three users in the one office that get this error, it is of course the head office for the customer and so they are very upset, because they get timeout errors on their email clients. They are using different versions of outlook, and outlook express, I have deactivated all nortons email scanning etc Have set the three email clients to pop mail at different times, eg. 7, 13, 17 minutes to try an avoid the possibility of simultaneous pop requests from the one IP address.

[Dovecot] read only bug?
by Nagyon Almos 11 May '07

11 May '07

Hello All, I have been still struggling with the read only maildir and I think I found something: dovecot wants to rename a file but I/it have/has no rights to do that: dovecot: 2007-05-04 21:30:14 Error: IMAP(bela): rename(/home/store/oldmails/.personal/cur/1154939281.00005.pc1.S=1879:2,S, /home/store/oldmails/.personal/new/1178307014.P8610Q0M347618.pc1) failed: Permission denied Why dovecot wants to rename it? It is really a read only directory. Regards, A. ______________________________________________ 2600 állásból Te is találsz megfelelőt!

[Dovecot] read only maildir
by Nagyon Almos 11 May '07

11 May '07

Hello All, I try to set up a read only maildir just as in the wiki, to no avail. The extra (public) namespace shows up but I can not susbscribe to it (in thunderbird) or if I change to that "directory" (in mutt), it is empty. Is it the problem mentioned in the wiki (SharedMailboxes#Subscriptions)? If yes, how can I see/use a folder which is not subscribeable? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, A. _____________________________________________________________ "Egy anya oda se bagózik a megjelenésedre. Szerinte gyönyörű vagy és punktum."

[Dovecot] Error: Master request X not found
by Jordi Moles 11 May '07

11 May '07

*Hi, I've been getting the following error from time to time since i started to use dovecot more than one year ago: dovecot: May 07 19:57:24 Error: auth(default): Master request 88729.43523 not found I haven't stopped upgrading dovecot with the hope that this would be a bug and would be fixed some day, but with v1.0.0, i keep getting the same error. It just happens from time to time. Some of the users of my system complain about not being able to get to see their mails, and it is always at the time when this error is logged. Surfing through many forums, i came across with a cause that many people point to: "client closed connection at the exact same time master was logging it in" i don't know if this is what happens to my system, to be honest, i don't have a clue how to check that, i just would like to know if somebody has come up with a solution for this problem, as it seems many people are still trying to face it. thank you. ***

[Dovecot] Sieve plugin
by Luigi Rosa 11 May '07

11 May '07

The Sieve plugin page of Wiki documentation (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve?highlight=%28filter%29) says: "It's also not a good idea to build the plugin against self-compiled Dovecot sources, but then actually use a prebuilt binary package of Dovecot." Why isn't a good idea? Ciao, luigi -- / +--[Luigi Rosa]-- \ Every time you've heard someone say they saw a ghost, or an angel.

[Dovecot] ownership/perms on DC file objects
by Stewart Dean 10 May '07

10 May '07

Back in late March I asked what ownership and permissions Dovecot's own directories and files should have; I have an obsessive nature, and wanted to get things right :(.. On April Fool's Day :), Timo responded: > Dovecot opens pretty much all the configuration etc. files as root > before dropping the privileges. So in general they could all be 0600 > owned by root In my typical turtle-crawl fashion, I got around to today, but the onership/perms came out somewhat differently, which I put down here for anyone that wants to know.........
