[dovecot] 0.99.4 released
by Timo Sirainen 01 Dec '02

01 Dec '02

This fixes the last weird bugs that I know of. Now just a few more missing features and 1.0 should be there :) v0.99.4 2002-12-01 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> - Command parser had several bugs when it didn't have enough data to parse the full command in one call, ie. network lags etc. triggered those bugs sometimes. This was the last "weird bug" I know of. - Mbox indexes got broken when updating cached fields - Fixed a few memory leaks and unneededly high memory usage while caching envelopes - Fixes to searching from message body and header - --with-ssldir didn't do anything and the default was empty

[dovecot] dovecot and pop3
by Paul C. Bryan 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Dear dovecotters: I'm becoming interested in dovecot as a replacement for UW-IMAPD. Any project that claims it's the "postfix of ____ servers" deserves a looksee. If indeed I were to going to switch at some point, I'd need to replace the UW POP3 server (which is a part of the UW package). I would prefer one that actually used the dovecot IMAP server instead of going to the filesystem directly. Question 1: Anyone know of such a POP3 daemon that connects to the IMAP server. Question 2: If the answer to Q1 is "no", would anyone be interested in such a package? Yours truly, Paul C. Bryan email(a)pbryan.net

[dovecot] vpopmail - again
by Kyle Symonds 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

OK, dovecot compiles fine and starts up. I changed the auth_userinfo var to vpopmail, fired up imap-master and tried to login via webmail and my log spits out the following: imap-login: Nov 26 14:50:50 Error: Can't connect to imap-auth at auth: Connection Refused imap-login: Nov 26 14:50:51 Error: Can't connect to imap-auth at vpopmail: Connection Refused Any ideas? --Weasel weasel(a)squeakyweasel.net http://squeakyweasel.net

[dovecot] rpm and srpm for dovecot
by seth vidal 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

hi, I put an rpm and srpm for dovecot on: http://www.dulug.duke.edu/~skvidal/RPMS/ They are made under rhl 7.3 - should build on 8.x I'd bet. I added an init script to start up imap-master I've done exactly ZERO testing on these and I'd welcome some feedback, thanks. -sv

[dovecot] 0.99.3 released
by Timo Sirainen 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

OK, this one will be the final release for a while, I promise (or hope). Fixes mbox corruption when expunging mails from the middle of mailbox with mail_read_mmaped=no which is the default. This bug was already in 0.99.0 release. I had been using Dovecot like that for 5 days or so without noticing the bug.. Wonder if I lost any mails.

[dovecot] mbox problems
by Timo Sirainen 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

Strange .. I didn't think I had done anything that could break things too badly. Anyway, at least with Solaris EXPUNGE may corrupt part of the mbox file, so don't do that for now.

[dovecot] 0.99.2 released
by Timo Sirainen 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

Mostly compiling cleanups but also one bugfix when index wasn't exclusively locked while it was being fsck'ed - that doesn't normally happen without crashing/whatever. v0.99.2 2002-11-26 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> + If we have to wait for a lock longer, the client is now notified about it every 30 seconds. - Default settings still pointed to lib directory instead of the libexec directory where the binaries were actually installed - vpopmail support had to be kludged to fix a bug in vpopmail library which sometimes left extra character after the user name. - Login process crashed if master process didn't let some user login. Normally this couldn't happen without error in configuration. - select() based I/O loop wasn't working so Dovecot didn't work in eg. OSX. Also PAM authentication wasn't detected with OSX. - Didn't compile with NetBSD-current

[dovecot] 0.99.1 released
by Timo Sirainen 25 Nov '02

25 Nov '02

Nothing new, just a few compiling/configuration issues fixed. Dovecot should also be in NetBSD pkgsrc soon. Now who would want to get it into Debian? :) v0.99.1 2002-11-25 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> + Added doc/mkcert.sh script to easily generate yourself a self-signed certificate. Modify doc/dovecot-openssl.cnf before running it. + --with-ssldir configure option to specify default path for /etc/ssl + Added ssl_disable setting to config file - OpenSSL wasn't checked properly by configure - vpopmail authentication module didn't compile - We should install the binaries into libexec dir, not lib - doc/configuration.txt and doc/mail-storages.txt were missing

[dovecot] vpopmail support?

Well, I read that back in 0.98 or so vpopmail support should work so I assumed it would be enabled in 0.99 but here's what I get. gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../src/lib -I/usr/local/vpopmail/include -g -O2 -Wall -W -g -O2 -Wall -W -c userinfo-vpopmail.c In file included from userinfo-vpopmail.c:12: /usr/local/vpopmail/include/vpopmail.h:133: syntax error before `*' *** Error code 1 Stop in /root/dovecot/src/auth. *** Error code 1 Stop in /root/dovecot/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /root/dovecot. *** Error code 1 Stop in /root/dovecot.
