[Dovecot] Dovecot and Pipermail integration
Hello,
I have a standard Mailman/Pipermail install with mboxes at
MM_HOME/archives/public/listname.mbox/listname.box
What's the best way to export these via IMAP using Dovecot 1.0rc15 on Debian etch?
I know I could make a namespace with MM_HOME/archives/public/ but that would result in half of the directories being exported (the ones containing the HTML archives) being unusable. I could also create another directory and symlink all the mboxes in there but that seems wrong. Preferably, I'd like to have something like a namespace with a mail location of MM_HOME/archives/public/*.mbox/ but that doesn't work with v1.0

Upgrade to a current version.
rc15 is very old and buggy, and it is a waste of time to troubleshoot it.

Ok, I have Dovecot 1.1.11 running on a test machine. Now, nice ways to export /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/*.mbox/ ?

Hmm, I would try this:
symlink all mboxes into one folder. As far as I remember, there is just one .mbox file per .mbox directory, right?
make sure this directory and all the mbox files are readable by all users.
create a public mailbox: http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Public read about the difference, if you set ":INDEX=~/Maildir/public" in location. Maybe, you also need a per-user CONTROL= setting.
It should be possible to expose the whole base directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/public via the namespace, but I don't know about the implications regarding the non-mbox directories.
