[Dovecot] ANNOUNCE: Mailadmin - New web interface for virtual domains
by John Thompson 09 Feb '04

09 Feb '04

Hey there, I've written a(nother) web front end for postfix + dovecot + mysql, it's called Mailadmin. (I'm sure you could use it with another POP/IMAP server, I haven't though) You can download it at: http://waste.org/~jello/mailadmin/ Some features are: o Licensed under the GPL o Written in perl o Written with security in mind o Supports regular mailboxes, forward-only boxes, and catchalls. o Ability to undelete deleted users (You'll have to do this manually for now (see TODO)) o You can add as many admins as you want, and they can only see or modify their own domains/users. o Uses HTML::Template, so you can edit the pages to appear as you want without having to muck through a bunch of code There are still a few features left to add (deleting domains for instance), but it's been working great for me for a while. Also, Debian Sarge (or later) users can use the install script and brief instructions to go from a bare-bones install to fully working postfix + dovecot + mysql virtual domains with web front-end in 5 or 10 minutes. Guaranteed! (ok, maybe not _guaranteed_, but it's quite easy). Feedback is much appreciated.

It grew out of Mozilla. I've installed it at my office for bug tracking. You just need Perl and MySQL. Timo, do you get Bugzilla's for Dovecot from Red Hat forwarded to you? It looks like Jeremy Katz of Red Hat is the component owner, but you could get listed as "QA contact" so that you get cc'd as new bugs are entered. The following query shows all bugs against the Dovecot component in all Red Hat "products": <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?component=dovecot>

[Dovecot] CRAM-MD5 support?
by S Tanaka 08 Feb '04

08 Feb '04

Hi, I'm wondering what is dovecot's support for CRAM-MD5? The mailing list for November 2003 seems to indicate that Timo has included it into the CVS tree, however the ChangeLogs in the latest version does not say anything about it. The online docs has indicated that it's supported, but the doc files in 0.99.10.4 doesn't seem to mention about it.... Thanks in advance.

That looks like this procmail bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62859 Upgrading to procmail 3.22 should fix the problem. Paul

[Dovecot] Illegal characters in message names
by Lars Skovgaard 06 Feb '04

06 Feb '04

Hi all I've set up Dovecot to use maildir-storage according to the previous hint from Blair Zajac, and it's working perfectly. However, I still have a problem with the way procmail wants to name the received emails. The following is a slightly modified extract from my logs: procmail: [5373] Thu Feb 5 23:59:14 2004 procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/Users/name/Maildir/" procmail: Assigning "ORGMAIL=/Users/name/Maildir/" procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=/Users/name/Maildir/" procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/Users/name/Library/rc.myrules" procmail: Match on "^From:.*someone@somewhere.com" procmail: Error while writing to ".Folder/tmp/1076021954.5373_0.y/rc.myrulessomewhere.com" procmail: Couldn't create or rename temp file ".Folder/tmp/1076021954.5373_0.y/rc.myrulessomewhere.com" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/Users/name/Maildir/new/ 1076021954.5373_1.rp.comsomewhere.com" procmail: Notified comsat: "name@0:/Users/name/Maildir/new/1076021954.5373_1.rp.comsomewhere.com" As you can see, procmail puts a slash in the middle of the name, which of course is not allowed. This causes the rule to break, and the mail to be delivered to the default mailbox instead of the intended. Does anyone know how to control which characters are allowed in procmail, or how to control the naming eg. by way of grep? /Lars
