[Dovecot] Concerning: in 0.99.10.7 - Maildir: LIST now doesn't skip symlinks
by chris pickert 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

TSS/Dovecot: I saw the recent change in the ChangeLog about the 'subtraction' of the listing of symlinks. The point showed(minus): - Maildir: LIST now doesn't skip symlinks Does this truly mean the functionality was removed? I'd tried doing symlink'd maildirs in 99.10.6 w/ no luck and when I saw this change I hoped this was an addition, as it would be great in lieu of Dovecot's lack of ACL/Shared folders. If it was intented to be ADDED in the recent .7 release, it still doesn't … [View More]

A short description on how I did this can be found at my web page: http://www.sm6rpz.se/mailserver.html I use Fedora Core 2, but I do not think that will matter, it should work for SuSE also I think.

[Dovecot] weakness in hash salt generation
by Joshua Goodall 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

Dovecot has routines for password hashing; two of these, crypt_generate and md5_generate, both use sizeof(salt_chars) when reducing a random string to salt. I became suspicious when I noted that all salts generated are composed only of "./01". Unfortunately salt_char is declared static const char * rather than static const char [], and so sizeof(salt_chars) is the size of a pointer. Recommend: diff -u -r1.8 password-scheme.c --- password-scheme.c 30 May 2004 03:57:15 -0000 1.8 +++ … [View More]

[Dovecot] bug in LSUB command
by Geo Carncross 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

RFC 2060 section 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 says the "The LIST response occurs as a result of a LIST command." and "The LSUB response occurs as a result of an LSUB command." Dovecot presently returns the LIST response for the LSUB command. -- Geo Carncross <geocar(a)internetconnection.net> Internet Connection

[Dovecot] Local + virtual users using Dovecot 0.99.10.6 (from debian testing)
by Alexander 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

Hi, I have configured the MTA (exim4) to put the messages for my local users at /var/mail. If the user does not exist as true unix user, it looks at a postgresql database and if the user exists there, it delivers the message at /var/mail/virtual Example: User fred is a unix user, and peter is a virtual user. If i send a mail to fred(a)mydomain.org, the message is stored at /var/mail/fred (im using exim's append for transport). If i send a mail to peter(a)mydomain.org, the message is stored … [View More]

by Sebastien 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

I just installed Dovecot on Debian and everyting seems to be working fine except for the fact that it can't seem to find my mails when I log in. All my mails are stored in the file ~/mail/Inbox. In the dovecot.conf file I put: default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u and it's not working. What is the part: mbox:~/mail/ for ? and what is the part: INBOX=/var/mail/%u for ? I read the documentation but I don't understand. Can anyone help me ?

[Dovecot] 1.0-test30
by Timo Sirainen 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ Mostly just fixes. Fixed some crashes with cache file. Fixed "randomly" occuring mbox parsing problem. Namespace handling was pretty much rewritten. Non-hidden namespaces will also show up in LIST replies now, so if you have eg.: namespace private { prefix = mboxes location = mbox:~/mail } Then clients would show "mboxes" as normal folder. Subscription file handling also changed and will probably change more.. Currently subscription file is specific to the … [View More]
