Re: [Dovecot] Misbehavior with Dovecot and Mulberry
by Jon Roma 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Well, ironically after my tests succeeded, my reply to the Dovecot list just now failed to append to the Dovecot maildir folder. So I guess it works sometimes and not other times. :( The error message is the same "failed: Invalid argument".

[Dovecot] "racing" error ???
by Andy Cravens 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Anybody know what this racing error means? I've got hundreds of them in my Dovecot log file. I tried to search the archives but couldn't find a search link. Nothing on Google search either. dovecot: Aug 30 16:55:54 Error: IMAP(testuser): maildir_file_do(/export/home/testuser/mail) racing -- Andy Cravens

[Dovecot] Newbie question
by Andrés Rusconi 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Hi, my name is Andrés Rusconi, from Tucumán, Argentina. Sorry my English, please. I am a very happy new user of Dovecot: I gained speed and simplicity with him. But I noticed that in clients who use Outlook, the deleted messages do not copy to the trash folder. This is not critical, but did not happen with Courier, and the users askme about this behavior. If some of you has somehow solved this small question, I will thank for their commentary. Saludos Andrés

[Dovecot] Master account
by Diego M. Vadell 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Hi, Is there an administrator o master account in dovecot, which could be able too access all mailboxes? I need to periodically delete some emails (older than a number of days). I wanted to use imapfilter, a program that uses imap to access mailboxes to do that, but as the users can change their passwords, I can't do it. Is there a way to do that? Thanks in advance, -- Diego.

[Dovecot] Dovecot & SquirrelMail
by Mark Smith 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

At the moment SquirrelMail can only view the INBOX folder. Trash, Sent, Drafts and other folders i create are not listed. I remember there is a config in dovecot.conf to view where the default box is. I'm not sure how it should be set. My Inbox is in: /var/mail/$user/ The Other Dirs are in: /home/user/mail/ What should the config look like? Please Help Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn.co.uk/newsletters

Hi all, I use dovecot-1.0-alpha2. Way can't auth process shutdown in a clean way. I allways discover lot of zombies for dovecot-auth, in a short time before shootingdown by linux.

[Dovecot] Local authentication without password
by Sebastjan Trepca 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Hi, is it possible to configure dovecot so that users from a specific IP (let's say 127.0.0.1) don't have to send password? They would be authenticated no matter if passwords match or not. Thanks, Sebastjan

[Dovecot] Error indexing mbox file (LF error)
by Kevin Old 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Hello everyone, I'm getting the error below for 2 different users on my system of 150+ users: Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3-login: Login: cah [::ffff:172.16.3.107] Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Error indexing mbox file /var/mail/cah: LF not found where expected Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Error indexing mbox file /var/mail/cah: LF not found where expected Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occured. Refer to server log for more information. [2005-09-12 09:32:49] I've read in the archives that it's the blank line at the beginning of the mbox file, and once deleted everything works fine. The thing is, it keeps happening and I can't figure out why. Email clients that send mail to these accounts are the latest Outlook Express. As I said, I have 150+ users on the same system and they are fine. I'm not sure if protocol makes a difference, but we are using POP3 only. Any ideas what I can do to fix/prevent/correct this either programatically or with a patch of some sort? Is this actively being worked on? I'm running FC4 with dovecot-0.99.14-4.fc4. Any help is appreciated! Kevin -- Kevin Old kevinold(a)gmail.com

[Dovecot] Dual INBOX Locations
by Calum Power 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

G'day list, Just a quick question - I need to configure Dovecot to do the following: * check default_mail_env for the users' inbox in MBOX format * If the above fails, serve the user an inbox from a secondary location, in MAILDIR format. I have read up on Namespaces, however I can't seem to get this to work - login just fails when Dovecot cannot find the inbox in default_mail_env Any advice, anyone? :) Thanks, Calum -- Calum Power Systems Administrator Server101 Pty. Ltd. Fast, Reliable Web Hosting!
