[Dovecot] pop3 CAPA STLS and stupid clients
by Marten Lehmann 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hello, is it possible to disable the announcment of STLS in the CAPA-command for the pop3-daemon? I want to support pop3s, but only at port 995, not through the STLS on port 110. The reason for this is that some clients have problems with this and strange errors appear (e.g. older imap-libs) although they don't seem to have a problem with pop3s through port 995. Regards Marten

[Dovecot] IMAP subscriptions - how, for what and why?
by Tom Alsberg 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Again, not a Dovecot issua - but can someone clarify better what IMAP subscriptions (SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE/LSUB) are and what they are used for? I've seen a few times in Microsoft mail clients, the options to subscribe to folders and to "show only subscribed folders". I haven't played much with them, though. But what's the actual point? Except for being returned in the list of LSUB, what else changes when doing a SUBSCRIBE to a mailbox? Are subscriptions supposed to be remembered by the server outside of the context of a session (so a client that connects to the server at some point and authenticates will already see in LSUB what a possibly other client has subscribed to in a previous session)? Clarifications appreciated, regards, -- Tom -- Tom Alsberg - hacker (being the best description fitting this space) Web page: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~alsbergt/ DISCLAIMER: The above message does not even necessarily represent what my fingers have typed on the keyboard, save anything further.

[Dovecot] Outlook Express / Namespaces
by Matthias Rieber 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hi, I'm planning to switch from courier-imap to dovecot. Everythings seems fine. I adjust the namespaces to avoid client side changes. This works with Thunderbird, but Outlook Express seems to have problmes with the path "INBOX.", that I've configured in the client settings. I can remove that path, but the folders will be sorted under the inbox. Is there something that I've done wrong? I'm using dovecot 1.0alpha5 matthias

[Dovecot] dovecot-lda: problems compiling
by nospam 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

I am trying to compile the dovecot lda and running into some problems. (compiling most recent version on Fedora core 4). I was able to compile the dovecot imap server just fine. However .. when I try to run configure in the lda package (after running autogen) it gets stuck on this line : + eval 'sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-1.sed | sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-2.sed | sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-3.sed' ++ sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-1.sed ++ sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-2.sed ++ sed -f ./confstatm19105/subs-3.sed Basically it is getting stuck on the sed portion in config.status. Anyone run into this problem before ?

[Dovecot] Authentication failure - unknown user
by Anne Wilson 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

I'm trying to set up a temporary mailserver using Debian Sarge and Dovecot 1.0 with maildir format. My only previous experience has been on a simple imap server with mbox format. I have read the wiki documentation and searched the archives, but can't tie down my problem. The log tells me Info: passwd-file(anne) : unknown user. I have set auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.passwd auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.passwd and created the /etc/imap.passwd file as anne:{plain}mypassword:1000:1000::/home/anne What have I missed?

[Dovecot] special variables
by Andrés Pereira 11 Jan '06

11 Jan '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! Are there any plans to extend the special variables you can use for ldap query strings (%u,%n,etc)? For instance, say you have an ldap schema like this with multiple domains in a single top-level-domain: dc=domain_1,dc=tld_1 dc=domain_2,dc=tld_1 dc=domain_3,dc=tld_1 dc=domain_4,dc=tld_2 dc=domain_5,dc=tld_2 dc=domain_6,dc=tld_2 Now dovecot (latest CVS snapshot) offers, among others, the following variable: %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if there is no domain But, what if dovecot could offer something like this: %1-9 = domain tokens (%1 = tld, %2 = domain when %d = domain.tld) (actually, these variables are present in auth_ldap module for saslauthd) This way people could create a query like this (just an example): base = ou=some_ou,dc=%2,dc=%1 I know I could modify my ldap schema to: dc=domain_1.tld_1 dc=domain_2.tld_1 .... and it would be solved by using %d, however those "new" variables could be useful, what do you think?
