After that point in time, I could not properly read some messags using Openwebmail. I did not have time to fully investigate the exact cause and the exact form of the curroption, but I did want to let you know that it is an issue. Thanks, Joe

[Dovecot] debian unstable : mutt polling imap mailboxes
by Kai Hendry 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Package: dovecot Version: 0.99.10.4-2 I am accessing my IMAP folder on my ~/Maildir using mutt via Dovecot and I have this problem whereby mutt incorrectly reports I have new mail in a "mailboxes" polled mailbox. This happens all the time when I press the key bound to change mailbox. I use courier IMAP at school, and I have not experienced this problem. A bug with dovecot or mutt?

[Dovecot] Dovecot failing silently on startup
by Julian Melville 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

I'm puzzled... I'm running the Debian package of Dovecot 0.99.10.4 on a Debian (testing) server, and it's basically doing nothing on startup for an extended period. After a while (maybe 10 minutes or more) it all suddenly starts working, all without logging anything untoward. All the dovecot processes appear to start OK, and 'Dovecot starting up' is logged to the syslog. If you telnet to an IMAP or POP3 port at this point, it will successfully connect but there's no response (i.e. no '* OK dovecot ready'). Nothing else on this server is failing in this way; e.g. Apache and PostgreSQL are running fine throughout this period. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Cheers, Julian.

[Dovecot] SSL 143/notls stuff
by Mark Williamson 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Hi Everyone, Just trying to work out how totally disable SSL/TLS support on port 143 while enabling SSL support on port 993 In the config file when I comment out the setting "ssl_disable = yes", I have Webmail client that will no longer be able to auth against port 143, Now I can get the Webmail client to sort of work via using the setting the port to "143/notls" but the main problem with that is that the WEbmail client does not support that setting correctly, giving the Webmail issues in other areas. Anyway is there a way of enabling SSL support on 993, and a way to let port 143 to auth with out the need of using a setting port "143/notls" Cheers Mark Williamson

How is the Changelog file created? I assume there is a tool which grabs this information from the CVS repository. What's the name of this tool? Sven

[Dovecot] Set only INDEX path
by Kilian CAVALOTTI 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

Hi folks, I'd like to know if I can set the INDEX path in the default_mail_env, without setting the format and location of mailboxes (something like default_mail_env = :INDEX=/var/mail/indexes/%u) I want to let each user choose whether he prefers to store his mail in mbox or maildir format, so I don't want to /force/ the configuration in the default_mail_env variable, but let the autodetection feature of Dovecot do the job. The problem is that home folders are NFS mounted on the mail server. So I'd like to put the indexes somewhere locally on the mail server. I tried to set the default_mail_env with various combinations of ':' and INDEX, but with no success, I invariably get "Fatal: Failed to create storage with data..." error messages. Is there any solution to my problem ? ;) TIA, -- Kilian

[Dovecot] More than one auth method with dovevot 0.99.10.4 - how?
by Raymond Scholz 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

We're setting up a server with qmail/vpopmail and dovecot. In addition to vpopmail users we want non-virtual, local users to be able to authenticate and have them read the Maildir in their real $HOME. vpopmail userdb/passwd works fine. Now how do I tell dovecot to use passwd (or PAM) userdb/passdb authentication too? /etc/dovecot.conf: [...] auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = vpopmail auth_passdb = vpopmail auth_user = root auth_verbose = yes auth = local auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd /etc/passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root auth_verbose = yes #auth_methods = default local EOF I think, I'm supposed to put the auth_methods line somewhere. Without it, dovecot only tries authentication using the first auth process definition: | Feb 25 00:01:49 server1 dovecot-auth: vpopmail(rscholz): unknown user (rscholz@) after loggin in with ". login rscholz secret_password" at the IMAP server. Putting the auth_methods line behind the two auth processes (or somewhere in the middle) gives me: | Starting mail server: dovecotFatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 456: Unknown setting: methods Putting it above all auth processes gives me: | Starting mail server: dovecotFatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 362: Authentication process name not defined yet Hm, I'm lost here. System is Debian i386 stable (woody) with dovecot_0.99.10.4-2.deb backported from Debian unstable. Cheers, Ray -- Hfr fgebat rapelcgvba!
