I have installed dovecot and sieve using the FreeBSD ports. Authentication is against a MySql Database. Dovecot is running using deliver as the LDA.

[Dovecot] Client with SSL client cert support?
by Peter Abrahamsen 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

Good day, all, I've gleaned that dovecot has support for verifying SSL client certs on connect. What IMAP clients have people found that support sending a specific SSL cert? I can't find this feature in Thunderbird, at least. Thanks, Peter

[Dovecot] POP3 log in failure after switch to dovecot from Cyrus
by Stowe Spivey 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

I can set up and access a dovecot pop3 account using outlook express fine. I can telnet into it fine. However, GFI FaxMaker is failing to log in. I assisted a client in switching his web site, including email from one server (FreeBSD) which was using Cyrus to a Redhat 4.0 server using dovecot version 0.99.11 Here's the listing of dovecot -n: dovecot -n Usage: dovecot [-F] [-c <config file>] Fatal: Unknown argument: -n The GFI Faxmaker polls the pop3 account every minute so we're getting a lot lf these messages in the log file: Apr 19 19:51:28 server name pop3-login: Aborted login [::ffff:<ip address here>] Again, I can telnet in to the account from that server. I verified all the log in credentials are correct but it still is failing to log in. Any ideas?

[Dovecot] Maillog rotates, but dovecot still writes logs into old logfile?
by Mart Pirita 20 Apr '07

20 Apr '07

Tere. I use: log_path = /var/log/maillog info_log_path = /var/log/maillog And into /var/log are: maillog maillog.1 maillog.2 maillog.3 Now when log files are rotating at 04:00 (maillog > maillog.1) dovecot still keeps login into maillog.1 and not into maillog, where sendmail, etc writes logs. The only solution I did found, is adding into /etc/logrotate.d/syslog command to restart dovecot: /var/log/maillog { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot restart >/dev/null 2>&1 endscript } Any other solution? -- Mart

[Dovecot] Master auth: what is 'client-id'?
by Koen Vermeer 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Hi, I am trying to get some useful data from the master auth socket. On the wiki, I found that I need to do: M: "REQUEST" TAB <id> TAB <client-pid> TAB <client-id> M: "USER" TAB <id> TAB <userid> TAB service=<service> [TAB <parameters>] However, what should I specify for <client-id>? I cannot find a definition on the Wiki. Thanks! Koen

In "doc/variables.txt" > For dovecot-auth there are also these variables: > > %c - "secured" string with SSL, TLS and localhost connections. > Otherwise empty. %c does not appear to be working. I am trying to use it in a MySQL query userdb and passdb query and it is always empty string. Timo, any chance you could post a patch that fixes this? Thanks, Bill
