[Dovecot] imaptest, with options!
by Jens Laas 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

I hacked some command line options into imaptest. I dont think I broke it.. Place into dovecot-source root as usual and compile with: gcc imaptest.c -o imaptest -Wall -W -I. -Isrc/lib -DHAVE_CONFIG_H src/lib/liblib.a As per Timo's instructions. # imaptest -h imaptest [USER@IP:PORTNO] [pass=PASSWORD] [mbox=MBOX] [clients=CC] [msgs=NMSG] [use_authenticate] [PORTNO] USER = template for username. "u%04d" will generate users "u0001" to "u0100" MBOX = path to mbox from which we read mails to append. CC = number of concurrent clients. [20] NMSG = target number of messages in INBOX. [100] If use_authenticate is given AUTHENTICATE will be used instead of LOGIN. Have fun!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK. So, I got over some of the segfault problems I was having with dovecot 1.0beta7 and have even downloaded and installed the latest CVS version which is properly providing quota information to thunderbird (although Mail.app doesn't show the quota details) now i've also downloaded the CVS version of dovecot-LDA and have run autogen.sh and during the configure it gets stuck at: ... checking rxposix.h usability... no checking rxposix.h presence... no checking for rxposix.h... no configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile and it's been sitting like that for over an hour now (I had to take care of some other things and just let it sit) i ran configure with the following: ./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot (this is the directory for the CVS version of dovecot) any ideas?

[Dovecot] setuid(5000) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
by Jon Baker 27 Apr '06

27 Apr '06

I have combed google for days searching for an answer to this but cannot find anything anywhere, I'm hoping that posting to this list will get me the solution. I have FC4 running dovecot v1.0.beta7 to serve my POP3 (I had to install v1.0.beta7 because it's on a x86_64 and I need mysql support). It runs great for about two hours, after which I start getting the resource temporarily unavailable error. I can't get the error to go away by restarting dovecot, the only way I can figure out to do it is to restart the box. This is terribly annoying... please help! Thanks!

What you really need is for dovecot to be able to log all incoming imap commands.
