[Dovecot] Dovecot logs to syslog (other than MAIL)?
by Steve Bigley 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

I see in the config file where I can enable syslog, but then all logging goes to the MAIL facility. I could find no reference to changing the facility:level for syslogging. Is that implemented, or planned? I know I could just write it to a file, but I'd prefer to use syslog because then I can pipe it to a central logging server.

[Dovecot] Multiple Mailstores using 1.0alpha4
by Brian T Glenn 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

I am using qmail-ldap to provide virtual users to my system, but I also have some shell users on the system as well. Virtual users go into /home/vmail/mailstore/$username/ System users go into /home/$username/Maildir How can I have both of these available as inboxes in dovecot using ldap logins? Do I need to use namespaces or am i missing something with default_mail_env? Thanks, -- Brian T Glenn delink.net Internet Services

[Dovecot] Yet another silly question...
by Michael Segel 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Ok, I now have Dovecot working but I'm having an issue with my start up from xinetd. I tried to follow the examples in the documentation, but why can't I just have a single entry for IMAP with just dovecot? Wouldn't this also open up the SSL and the POP3 stuff as well? TIA! -- Michael Segel Principal MSCC 312 952- 8175 [M]

[Dovecot] Unused SQL API
by Curtis Maloney 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Greetings, recently I've been writing a database driver module for Dovecot to use SQLite. It's mostly for my own use, but I do recall other people have asked for this. Firstly - Timo, I grow to love your work more and more every day. :) I have not had any trouble figuring out what is needed of the driver, even without any API documentation. However, the one part of the driver that's given me pause has turned out to most likely be unnecessary. Whilst I was trying to work out how to deal with the sql_result->get_values() call without leaking memory, it seemed an odd method to have along side the other calls. So I decided to look for where it was used, to try to understand. Only, it isn't. The _only_ point I can find in the sources that calls that method is in the Postgress SQL driver. Am I missing something? -- Curtis Maloney cmaloney(a)cardgate.net

by Andy Cravens 02 Dec '05

I just upgraded from alpha 3 to alpha 4 and now I'm getting these errors: dovecot: Nov 28 16:17:37 Info: Dovecot v1.0.alpha4 starting up dovecot: Nov 28 16:20:11 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS dovecot: Nov 28 16:20:13 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS dovecot: Nov 28 16:20:13 Error: imap(jdoe): flock() locks not supported dovecot: Nov 28 16:20:13 Error: child 15661 (imap) returned error 89 I'm using maildir so locking shouldn't be an issue.

[Dovecot] Question on moving folders
by Andy Cravens 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Is there a way to move an imap subfolder up one level? I have a bad mouse and every now and then I have accidentally dragged an imap folder on top of another folder. I am unable to get the original folder back up one level. I've tried using several clients and I can't get it to work with dovecot. I keep getting a "folder already exists" message. I'm guessing dovecot still sees the original folder before it was moved. Any tips... besides getting a new mouse? -- Andy

[Dovecot] dovecot-lda macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
by Kevin 01 Dec '05

I'm trying to get dovecot-lda working on a FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE box (also had the same problem on 5.4) When I run autogen.sh I get the following output: aclocal:configure.in:13 <http://configure.in:13>: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal. configure.in <http://configure.in>: installing `./install-sh' configure.in <http://configure.in>: installing `./missing' src/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp' src/libsieve/Makefile.am:1: library used but `RANLIB' is undefined src/libsieve/Makefile.am:1: src/libsieve/Makefile.am:1: The usual way to define `RANLIB' is to add `AC_PROG_RANLIB' src/libsieve/Makefile.am:1: to `configure.in' and run `autoconf' again. configure.in <http://configure.in>: installing `./ylwrap' Makefile.am <http://Makefile.am>: installing `./INSTALL' configure.in:4 <http://configure.in:4>: required file `lda-config.h.in<http://config.h.in>' not found configure.in:13 <http://configure.in:13>: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. It still generates 'configure' but if I try to run it I get: ./configure: line 3441: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL: command not found Also Makefile.in <http://Makefile.in> is never created Anyone have an idea?
