[dovecot] status update / cvs repository
by Timo Sirainen 22 Aug '02

22 Aug '02

Past few weeks went mostly while rewriting small part of code. It really wouldn't have needed to take that long, but I always got really tired after just looking at that code for a few seconds :) Anyway, now messages are parsed in 256kB blocks (maybe I should make it configurable), so large messages don't eat all memory anymore. Maildir support seems to work with the new code, though I haven't tested it too well yet. mbox is currently broken. If you want to test it, dovecot's CVS is available with rsync. I don't think I'll bother setting up pserver since that CVS has also other sources that aren't public. With rsync you'd do it something like: # initialize new cvs repository (do it just once) cvs -d ~/cvs init # update cvs repository rsync -avz --delete dovecot.procontrol.fi::dovecotcvs ~/cvs/dovecot # checkout the sources from your cvs repository cd ~/src cvs -d ~/cvs checkout dovecot

[dovecot] SELECT

Hi, all. Thanks Timo for answering my previous post. It's starting fine now :) I must be doing something wrong again but I can't connect from any imap client. If I telnet to the server I get: $ telnet carpa 11143 Trying 143.107.209.25... Connected to carpa.ciagri.usp.br. Escape character is '^]'. * OK dovecot ready. a001 login marcelo ##### a001 OK Logged in. a002 select INBOX a002 NO Broken INBOX: Permission denied a003 select "" * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \Recent) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)] Flags permitted. * 246 EXISTS * 246 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 1] First unseen. * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1028760751] UIDs valid a003 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. a004 close a004 OK Close completed. a005 logout * BYE Logging out a005 OK Logout completed. Connection closed by foreign host. "INBOX" seems not be a valid mailbox name to Dovecot but it works with others servers (courier, at least). The server uses Maildirs and runs qmail and courier (by now). Thanks.

[dovecot] v0.96 released
by Timo Sirainen 08 Aug '02

08 Aug '02

This release was actually tested with reading my inbox (500+ messages, mbox, Solaris 8) using Outlook and Evolution v0.96 2002-08-08 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> * Changed to LGPL v2.1 license + STARTTLS support and optional disabling of plaintext authentication (LOGINDISABLED capability) + Support for custom message flags, each folder can have 26 different. + New configuration file options: imap_listen, max_logging_users, max_imap_processes + You can specify config file location to imap-master with -c <path> + All IMAP processes can now write to specified log file instead of syslog. Either do this by setting IMAP_LOGFILE environment, or give -l <path> parameter to imap-master. + Some cleanups to remove warnings with BSDs + Changed all %s .. strerror(errno) -> %m + Rewritten memory pool code - imap-master didn't close all the fds for executed processes - iobuffer code was buggy and caused the connection to terminate sometimes - make install overwrote the existing dovecot.conf file, so it's now named as dovecot-example.conf

hi could you explain the following sentence from the readme.txt: "mbox support is available but currently it relies a little bit on good luck, ..." what kind of luck do i need? why do you think the mbox support isnt this reliable?

[dovecot] spam / updates
by Timo Sirainen 06 Aug '02

I guess I underestimated the spammers :) This list is subscribers-only now. As for dovecot, I've been cleaning the code and probably will continue with that some time. I was also thinking about moving the authentication code into separate (SASL) library which could then be plugged into other software, such as postfix.
