Hi all,

I have to implement a Out of Office Tool on our dovecot IMAP Server.

Recently I updated dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5 to dovecot-1.1.20-1_98.el5 on our CentOS release 5.6 (Final) box via "yum update"

# cat /etc/yum.conf .... [atrpms] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms gpgcheck=1 # ....

After it, I installed dovecot-managesieve-0.11.12-0_5.1.el5 via yum install.

These are my sieve settings in /etc/dovecot.conf:

....... version_ignore=yes

# Log file to use for error messages, instead of sending them to syslog. # /dev/stderr can be used to log into stderr. log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log

# Protocols we want to be serving: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve # If you only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to "none". #protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s protocols = imaps pop3s pop3 managesieve

mail_debug=yes

protocol managesieve { # Specify an alternative address:port the daemon must listen on # (default: *:2000) #listen = localhost:2000

managesieve_logout_format = bytes ( in=%i : out=%o )

# Duplicated from plugin section
sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve
sieve_storage=~/sieve

}

plugin { # Settings for the Sieve plugin sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir=~/sieve } ......

After restarting dovecot, I'm getting the following errors in dovecot.log:

dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:14 Info: dovecot v1.1.20 starting up (core dumps disabled) dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Error: login: Login request missing a file descriptor dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Error: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Warning: managesieve-login: managesieve-login: capability string is empty. dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Error: login: Login request missing a file descriptor dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Warning: managesieve-login: managesieve-login: capability string is empty. dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Error: login: Login request missing a file descriptor dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Warning: managesieve-login: managesieve-login: capability string is empty. dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Info: Created login processes successfully, unstalling dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:17 Error: login: Login request missing a file descriptor dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:17 Error: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now

Don't know, whats going on .....

next problem. I can't login with our Thunderbird Clients to our IMAP/sieve Server (Port 2000) to edit Sieve Filters.

Authentication is set to: use IMAP Username and password

Port 2000 ist listening: # netstat -an | grep 2000 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 192.168.1.6:2000 192.168.1.8:2882 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 :::2000 :::* LISTEN

Out of Office:

I found a plugin for our thunderbird clients: http://www.trustedbird.org/tb/Out_of_Office

is this the right one?

many many hints are welcome ;-) Richard
