[Dovecot] Mail cut on CR character
by Tom Mraz 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Hi all, when I move the attached mail from local folder in Mozilla to an IMAP folder on dovecot, it is cut just before the ... characters. There is an extra CR character. I have setup the dovecot to use Maildirs. When I copy the file with the message manualy to one of the Maildir folders it is shown correctly in Mozilla however it if I move it using Mozilla to another IMAP folder the mail is cut again. Thanks for any reply, Tomas Mraz P.S.

[Dovecot] better way to create home dirs for mail servers
by ramana 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Dear all, Autodir is for creating home directories and group directories much better then pam_mkhomedir as pam_mkhomedir does suffer some limitations like, 1) There are some applications which never need to authenticate users But they need home dirs -- for example mail servers configured to use home dirs for mail delivery and storage but not configured to use pam. 2) Some do use other ways to authenticate, bypassing pam all together. 3) Servers must be root so that pam can create home dirs. Otherwise make /home similar in permissions to /tmp And there are other interesting features with Autodir like transparent backup for 24x7 online systems and many more. Autodir uses autofs kernel module to transparently create home dirs And for more information check http://www.intraperson.com/autodir/ And here is Autodir-HOWTO http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/intraperson/Autodir-HOWTO.html?download Regards ramana -- http://www.intraperson.com

[Dovecot] Workaround for outlook UIDL handling bug ??
by Nikolaus Gerstmayr 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

Scenario: Using Dovecot 0.99.10.9 as pop3 server. With delete on retrival off. clients: outlook* Problem: Everytihng work perfectly, except that outlooks keeps re-downloading SOME mail over and over. Though it already got them. No obvious pattern which, but only a small percentage. First of I looked at dovecots UIDLs. Initialy I thought it's broken (see my previous thread) Sorry for even thinking that, it's ok, my bad :) Rather, outlooks UIDL handling seems to be very broken :( But I think I found an easy workaround. Dovecots UIDLS seem to be timestamp.message# eg. 1 1093990148.1 2 1093990148.2 3 1093990148.3 4 1093990148.4 5 1093990148.5 6 1093990148.6 7 1093990148.7 8 1093990148.8 9 1093990148.9 10 1093990148.10 11 1093990148.11 12 1093990148.12 The problems started with #10 -> Asumption: outlook falsy only takes a fixed numbers of chars to hold the UIDL, the rest ist ignored. Perhaps only the first 13 or so. What I did is reversing the order in UIDL generation. Instead of timestamp.message# -> message#.timestamp. Seems to work perfectly. Well, a bit too early too tell if it really works. Need to wait a couple of days and see if the problem re-appears or not. The only thing I'm 100% sure is that outlooks UIDL handling is broken. BTW: very nice source code. Very easy to follow, took me 5 minutes to find the correct .c and routine. In /pop3/command.c, list_uids() all I changed is ... mail->seq, client->uidvality, mail->uid to mail->seq, mail->uid, client->uidvality. (2 times) If anyone is interested, I'll keep you informed if the problem is really gone with this mini-patch.

[Dovecot] Comments on planned migration to Dovecot
by Rory Campbell-Lange 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

Our office of about 100 users is presently running its mail through an Exchange 5.5 Server. The Exchange server is protected by Linux server pass-through server running Exim4. We intend to move all of our mail and directory services to open source software, probably Exim4, Dovecot and OpenLDAP. We have a mixture of mail clients. These include Mac OS9 Entourage (about 30%), OSX Entourage (20%) and Apple Mail (50%). About 30 individuals also look in to their mailboxes using squirrelmail. Each user is permitted a mailbox of no more than 20MB in size. Project mailboxes may rise to 200MB, however, with up to 5 simultaneous users connection to each project mailbox. I would be grateful for comments on the suitability of deploying Dovecot in this production environment. I already use Dovecot for a small number of users in a different environment (Mac Eudora, XP Outlook, Squirrelmail) and it appears to work without fault.

[Dovecot] Dovecot quota support
by Alton Yu 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

Sorry if this question has already been answered. I'm just thought that maybe I could get an answer here faster than my research. I'm currently using squirrelmail and there's a plugin that supports quota compatible with Courier. Does dovecot have the same support? Thanks!

Doesn't happen to all users and doesn't seem to be dependent on size of Maildir, sending SIGTERM makes it go away and then the user opens the mailbox again and I see normal CPU usage. However 3-4 hours later it will happen again. Using FreeBSD 4.9 and dovecot-0.99.10.4, postfix 2.0.18 as MTA. If theres any other info that would be useful (this is probably the most vauge description I can manage, but its all the info I have) then let me know and I can provide. Ta Jamie
