[Dovecot] RPM spec file

What would you think if I just removed it completely from tarball? It doesn't look like it works currently properly, and it probably needs to be changed a bit for each different distribution?

[Dovecot] Connection refused
by ohp＠pyrenet.fr 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Dear Timo et all, I wanted to put dovecot on production on my real server but, be it with the beta1 you left on my machine yesterday on beta2, when I launch dovecot, I have tons of messages in syslogs like : imap-login: can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused. What did I do wrong??

[Dovecot] Compiling Dovecot with-notify=inotify
by Nicolas STRANSKY 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Hi, I'm trying to compile Dovecot beta2 with inotify support, but this is unsuccessfull. First, it seems that the configure script is looking for inotify.h in /usr/include/sys, whereas it is in /usr/include/linux on my Debian Sarge system. But that's a minor point, let's make a symlink. % dpkg -S /usr/include/linux/inotify.h linux-kernel-headers: /usr/include/linux/inotify.h % dpkg -l linux-kernel-headers ii linux-kernel-headers 2.6.13+0rc3-2 Linux Kernel Headers for development Then the compilation fails with the following error : i386-linux-gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -o dovecot-auth auth.o auth-cache.o auth-client-connection.o auth-master-connection.o auth-master-listener.o auth-module.o auth-request.o auth-request-handler.o auth-stream.o auth-worker-client.o auth-worker-server.o db-ldap.o db-sql.o db-passwd-file.o main.o mech.o mech-anonymous.o mech-plain.o mech-login.o mech-cram-md5.o mech-digest-md5.o mech-ntlm.o mech-gssapi.o mech-rpa.o mech-apop.o passdb.o passdb-blocking.o passdb-bsdauth.o passdb-cache.o passdb-ldap.o passdb-passwd.o passdb-passwd-file.o passdb-pam.o passdb-checkpassword.o passdb-shadow.o passdb-vpopmail.o passdb-sql.o userdb.o userdb-blocking.o userdb-ldap.o userdb-passwd.o userdb-passwd-file.o userdb-prefetch.o userdb-static.o userdb-vpopmail.o userdb-sql.o -Wl,--export-dynamic libpassword.a ../lib-settings/libsettings.a ../lib-ntlm/libntlm.a ../lib-sql/libsql.a ../lib/liblib.a -lcrypt -lpam -L/usr/lib -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lresolv -lldap -lpq /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so -lz -ldl ../lib/liblib.a(ioloop-notify-inotify.o)(.text+0x185): In function `io_loop_notify_add': /home/nico/sources/dovecot/dovecot-1.0.beta2/src/lib/ioloop-notify-inotify.c:102: undefined reference to `inotify_add_watch' ../lib/liblib.a(ioloop-notify-inotify.o)(.text+0x26d): In function `io_loop_notify_remove': /home/nico/sources/dovecot/dovecot-1.0.beta2/src/lib/ioloop-notify-inotify.c:145: undefined reference to `inotify_rm_watch' ../lib/liblib.a(ioloop-notify-inotify.o)(.text+0x2de): In function `io_loop_notify_handler_init': /home/nico/sources/dovecot/dovecot-1.0.beta2/src/lib/ioloop-notify-inotify.c:163: undefined reference to `inotify_init' Am I missing something ? What should be done to compile Dovecot with inotify support ? Thanks in advance, -- Nico L'homme est intelligent parce qu'il a une main. -+- Anaxagore -+-

[Dovecot] Date recieve vs date sent
by Justin Deutsch 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Hi All, I have migrated a client from what I think was UW-IMAPD to Dovecot, using the tool imapsync (http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/) The client is using Outlook and Outlook Express as their mail client and now all of their emails have the date 20/01/2006 in the folder view. When the email is viewed directly, the date is the correct date for the email. I was wondering if any one has any suggestions on how to make the received date the same as the sent date, so that people can used their Inboxes effectively?

Yay. It works. SSL regenerated statement is gone. I was using alpha and upgraded to b1, b2 afterward. login directory is root:dovecot and when you create a brand new ssl-parameters.dat in freebsd, it inherited the gid (87) from the directory.
