[Dovecot] make error
by Ken Woodward (IS) 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

Can anyone help with this? I get the following error when running "make". "configure" worked fine. I am installing the latest dovecot on a Solaris OS10 machine make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive' **** Error code 1 Also could someone tell me if it is possible to search all the archives through the complete message bodies or are we limited to searching each month individually and only on the message subject? Thanks for any help, Sincerely, Ken

[Dovecot] pop3d keeps downloading messages over and over again
by Gordon Thagard 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

Solaris 9 SunOS 5.9 Generic_117171-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250 gcc version 3.3.2 dovecot-0.99.11 compile options: LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot --disable-ipv6 --with-file-offset-size=32 --with-mem-align=4 --with-rawlog --with-ssl=openssl OK, this applies whether or not a user account is set to leave mail on the server or not. There are several things that might happen, depending on who knows what: 1. Mail pops fine. 2. The "DO NOT DELETE THIS EMAIL" keeps downloading over and over again. 3. All emails since the switch to this new test dovecot pop3d will be downloaded over and over again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Gordon Thagard

[Dovecot] duplicate woes
by Jeff Ramsey 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

Hi, I have FC2/Sendmail/Dovecot default setup. I turned on POP3 and POP3S in /etc/dovecot.conf. I started out getting duplicates only when I was using Outlook w/ 'Leave copy on server' option. Lately, I've been getting duplicates at seemingly random messages sent to and from seemingly random users. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff Ramsey Tubafor Mill, Inc.

[Dovecot] Popping without home directories
by Andre Grove 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

Hello there I tend to e-mail user accounts to my servers with /sbin/nologin and /dev/null as their shell and home directories respectively. I have discovered that Dovcot does not like it when a user does not have a home directory. Obviosly the user POP3 and not IMAP! :P Is there a work around for this? I have a suspicion it is one of the chroot option, but I do not know the meaning chroot. Thanks Andre

[Dovecot] Possible Bug
by Chris L. Franklin 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

Okay in dovecot.conf I set the fallowing settings log_path = /var/log/dovecot info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot Then I setup log rotation for that file (using logrotate). But after it does the rotation. Dovecot dies. Now I know why this happens. But should it ? To over come this I now have it set to stop dovecot and start dovecot after it's done dealing with the log file. -- Chris L. Franklin --

[Dovecot] bug with LIST IMAP command
by DINH Viet Hoa 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

I am in mbox configuration, and I am getting INBOX listed 3 times. I suppose the first is /var/mail/login and the others are $HOME/Mail but they appear twice. However, it seems this is a bug. << $ telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to utopia.priv. Escape character is '^]'. * OK dovecot ready. 01 LOGIN login password 01 OK Logged in. 02 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\NoInferiors) "/" INBOX * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "queue" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" INBOX * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" INBOX * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "INBOX/pingouin" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "sent" * LIST (\NoInferiors) "/" "sent/1" 02 OK List completed. 02 LOGOUT * BYE Logging out 02 OK Logout completed.

[Dovecot] [PATCH] NTLM update and crashfix
by Andrey Panin 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

Hello, attached patch allows LM authentication for older (Win9x) clients which do not pass NTLM response in type 3 message. It also fixes crash in dovecot-auth (empty credentials could be passed to hex_to_binary function if NTLM2 was negotiated). Please consider applying. Best regards. -- Andrey Panin | Linux and UNIX system administrator pazke(a)donpac.ru | PGP key: wwwkeys.pgp.net

[Dovecot] noob - integrating dovecot with postfix
by Mitch Pirtle 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hi list, Just jumped providers and am now desperately trying to get IMAP running on a new server... But not getting the link between postfix and dovecot working. :-( My two problems are: 1) local mail seems to get into the ~/Maildirs, but not from the outside (this is a postfix issue?) 2) I cannot find information on how to tell postfix to use virtual domains/addresses and then connect dovecot to them (as they are now in non-standard locations and/or formats) I'm sure this is a FAQ, but cannot find an example that would walk me though this. Can someone kindly point me in the right direction? -- Mitch

[Dovecot] Excessive imap-login and pop3-login processes
by Ben Beuchler 08 Nov '04

08 Nov '04

I'm running a Linux mail server with Postfix and Dovecot. I've noticed that the number of "imap-login" processes usually sits around 240, and "pop3-login" usually around 50 or so. The comments in the config file seem to indicate that, with my setup, I shouldn't see more than about 10 of each. Am I misunderstanding the config or is this expected behavior? login_process_per_connection = no login_processes_count = 10 login_max_processes_count = 128 login_max_logging_users = 256 The mail server receives about 1.5 - 3 logins per second and usually has around 75 simultaneous IMAP sessions. There are rarely more than 1 or 2 simultaneous POP3 sessions open. Thanks... -Ben -- Ben Beuchler There is no spoon. insyte(a)emt-p.org -- The Matrix
