[Dovecot] client certs with godaddy ssl cert
by Harondel J. Sibble 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

I've read the client ssl cert section in the wiki and it talks about using a self signed cert, if I am using a commercial cert, in this case godaddy, how do I implement a self signed cert for the client side and have dovecot make use of this? I know the mechanics of setting up the self signed ca, the question is more what configuration changes do I need to make in dovecot to handle both godaddy and the self signed ca functionality?

[Dovecot] Can I translate the userid to match the UW-POP3 server?
by Albert E. Whale 12 Oct '08

12 Oct '08

OK, I have been running the UW-POP3 server which currently translates all login ids as lowercase (i.e. Anthony becomes anthony). Now the Dovecot server is very flexible and currently I have not found how to translate the upper case characters to lowercase. What configuration setting will translate the userids to lowercase? -- Albert E.

[Dovecot] Different authentication for pop3 and imap
by sh1ny 12 Oct '08

12 Oct '08

Is it possible to run different authentications for pop3 and imap ? What i need is to give access to some clients to pop3 only and to other to imap only. I'm using postgres as a backend. What i actually need is 2 separate queries for userdb, one to select with "WHERE imap_access = 1" and the other one with "WHERE pop3_access = 1" ( that's just an example ). I'm using 1.1.2 but i plan on upgrading to either 1.1.4 or 1.2.

[Dovecot] Password scheme module thoughts?
by Ian R. Justman 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

Hi, all. I have successfully deployed the code I wrote to handle Post.Office password hashes. However, I had to implement it as a hack to password-scheme.c. I'd like to implement it as a module so I don't have to hack Dovecot whenever a new release comes out. However, I had a few thoughts: 1. I used Dovecot's own MD5 routines in my implementation because I know how they behave. However, would it make sense to distribute the C sources for the MD5 routines, or would it make far more sense to have a Dovecot build tree already (so I can use Dovecot's function library)? 2. Is there good documentation for Dovecot's plugin API? I need it so I can figure out how to write the parts which the main program call so then the code can be used as a plugin. Thanks! --Ian. -- Ian R. Justman UNIX hacker. Anime fan. Any questions? ianj (at) ian-justman.com

[Dovecot] sieve multi-line parser bug
by info 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

Dear sirs Thank you and congratulations for creating Dovecot. When a message header is split along several lines, it seems only the first one is parsed by sieve. The following header: From: "=?iso-8859-1?Q?Cotiatododia=20-=20O=20Jornal=20de=20Not=EDcias=20a=20Se?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?rvi=E7o=20de=20Cotia=20e=20Regi=E3o=2E?=" <newsletter(a)cotiatododia.com.br> was not discarded by the following rule (when it should have been due to "cotiatododia"): if anyof (header :contains ["From", "Reply-To", "To", "Cc"] ["cotiatododia", "ganhedinheiro.com", "1000deaths.com", "ione.correia", "nsbezerra", "estudenoexterior.com", "pestana(a)mauriciopestana.com.br", "institutojairmoura2(a)gmail.com", "webmaster(a)ie.org.br", "jahgor(a)jahgor.com.br", "marketing(a)mirostur.com.br"], header :contains "Subject" "E ai!, Essa voce Tem que Ver!") { discard; } Thank you, Dennis

[Dovecot] Switching Servers now can't retrieve mail
by lists＠kesh.com 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

I have just switched my mail server. I have copied (I think) the config files from the old to new. Exim is work fine on the new machine as I can see email file showing up in /var/mail/lists/new . However, dovecot reports nothing when I check mail . I am have turn on logging on both machines and I do not see anything that looks like an error. I have also looked to see if the dovecot.conf file is compatible between 1.0.14 and 1.1.2 and have found little. I am guessing this is a simple problem, can someone tell me what I have done wrong here. I have provided Working dovecot -n from both machines and the log output from a mail fetch.

[Dovecot] Cyrus MailDir to Dovecot mbox
by CJ Keist 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Anyone out there know of a tool that can convert a Cyrus MailDir format to Dovecot mbox? I have a user that I need to move over from a mail server running cyrus using MailDir format. At first I told him to setup second account with Thunderbird to our mail server and then use Thunderbird to move the messages over. But he has over 100K messages so not as easy to do. Is there a tool out there for doing this sort of conversion? I tried to simply cat all the messages into a single file, but just got a "Not valid mbox format" when I tried to read the mail folder. - -- C. J.
