Hi All,

Yesterday I began experimenting with using LDA to do delivery. To begin with I'm using a .forward file entry for myself so as to avoid affecting other users. When "deliver" is passed an item to deliver, the following is logged:

deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: Namespace: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: maildir: data=/home/cns/allen/Maildir deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: maildir++: root=/home/cns/allen/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/cns/allen/Maildir deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: Namespace: type=private, prefix=INBOX/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=yes, list=yes, subscriptions=yes deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: maildir: data=/home/cns/allen/Maildir deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: maildir++: root=/home/cns/allen/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox= deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Error: namespace configuration error: All list=yes namespaces must use the same separator deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Fatal: Namespace initialization failed Note that we have an "extra" namespace defined as this seemed to be required in order for Mac Mail.app to function properly. That namespace is defined with "list = no" as can be seen in the following dovecot.conf excerpt:

namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes }

# For Mac Mail.app namespace private { list = no separator = / prefix = INBOX/ inbox = no hidden = yes }
Nonetheless, when deliver starts up it believes that both namespaces have "list = yes". Is this potentially a bug in the way deliver reads the configuration file data? I've not looked into the code yet as I imagine that getting up to speed on it might take some time. As another data point, actually logging in via IMAP and running "list "" "*"" shows only one namespace.

Any advice here would be appreciated.

Thanks, Allen
