[Dovecot] user database clarification
by Jared 22 Aug '03

22 Aug '03

Hi, this question gets back to a thread I started back on July 8th. (gosh how time flies) I still am not clear on why PAM is not supported for the user database. I'm in an environment that has users both in local flat files (/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow) AND in an LDAP database. Is it possible for this set up to work with dovecot? (both local and ldap users have imap/pop?) I'd prefer to just have Dovecot use PAM for user db and the password database so that I can configure PAM to try … [View More]

[Dovecot] rawlog change suggestion
by Charlie Brady 21 Aug '03

21 Aug '03

I find the separate .in and .out files rather difficult to work with. I think it would be more useful if the in/out traffic were interleaved with a prefix to indicate direction, and suffix to indicate continuation, as recordio (http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/recordio.html) does: <a0002 LIST "" "" >* LIST (\Noselect) ";" "" >a0002 OK List completed. <a0003 SELECT "INBOX" >* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) >* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \… [View More]

[Dovecot] Mozilla dovecot interaction
by Eric S. Johansson 21 Aug '03

21 Aug '03

I think this is more a Mozilla bug but just a heads up the case other people complain. periodically, the Mozilla e-mail client refuses to delete messages. It shows up either as absolutely no action when you press the delete key/button or it shows activity but refuses to perform any other action in that mailbox. Sometimes if you switch to another mailbox and then come back to the mailbox you're deleting e-mail message from, the messages deleted when you re-enter the mailbox. I looked … [View More]

[Dovecot] transitional weirdnesses
by Eric S. Johansson 20 Aug '03

20 Aug '03

1) not reproducible but when it occurred, its stuck: in the early transition to dovecot I would notice occasionally that messages would come up, I would delete them and then something would hang causing a major delay in the (Mozilla) e-mail client's response. When the system responded, I would notice that occasionally there would be an off by one offset between the index of messages and the message displayed. This error would persist until I killed off the index and the dovecot process. … [View More]

[Dovecot] Squirrelmail and Dovecot folder namespace
by Warren Togami 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

I am currently using Squirrelmail and Dovecot with this setting: default_mail_env = mbox:%h/mail/:INBOX=%h/mail/INBOX It works well, however folder subscriptions in Squirrelmail annoyingly end up with "./" prefixes because Squirrelmail refuses to work without overriding the folder namespace. All of my other IMAP clients work fine without setting that option. Squirrelmail's default setting is this: $default_folder_prefix = './mail'; This setting breaks Squirrelmail: $… [View More]

[Dovecot] Questions
by Alejandro Martinez 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

Hi, I'm still figthing with passwd-file, virtual users and permissions. I have created the directory /var/spool/virtual/test and inside I've done a "maildirmake Maildir". I have a couple of questions : I use the same passwd-file for auth_userdb and as auth_passdb. 1) What program can I use to create the userdb file ? What I do now is to use the htpasswd program and then I complete by hand the rest of the fields (uid:group:GECOS:home:shell) htpasswd userdb test password: xxx again: xxx … [View More]

[Dovecot] CVS note

Another large update for header caching which breaks your old indexes. I think it's working pretty nicely now. Only some smaller tweaking left to do with caching in general.

[Dovecot] more transitional joys
by Eric S. Johansson 17 Aug '03

well, now that I have moved to dovecot, I'm not getting any spam... in fact, I'm not getting e-mail at all. default_mail_env =mbox:~/IMap2/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u when I first tried to access my inbox, I was told I had permission problems: Aug 14 17:47:22 harvee imap(esj): open(/var/spool/mail/esj.lock) failed: Permission denied Aug 14 17:47:22 harvee imap(esj): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/spool/mail/esj: Permission denied so I changed permissions on /var/spool/mail … [View More]
