[Dovecot] Help a newbie...
by Juan Bernhard 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi every one! Im new to the list, and to dovecot. I foud this program very usefull, scalable and with a serious security focus. So Im trying to implement it here at work. The first logical step is to read as much as I can, to build the best possible configuration avaible... but i found that the wiki es a pour source of serious information, filled with examples... examples are great to learn, but I was loocking for something that describes every dovecot.conf option (for example: mail_location = *string* default: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u bla,bla,bla...) Or perhaps some one can give me some directions to start reading... any help will be great. Thank you! PD: sorry for my english! haha -- ________________________________________ Juan Bernhard INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE TECNOLOGÍA INDUSTRIAL DEPARTAMENTO DE INFORMÁTICA DIVISIÓN OPERACIONES Teléfono (54 11) 4724-6200 / 6300 / 6400 Interno 6739 juan(a)inti.gob.ar _______________________________________ 0800 444 4004 | www.inti.gob.ar

[Dovecot] Dovecot Folder Creation Problem
by Ceyhun Ganioglu 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi all, I installed Dovecot-Postfix as an IMAP mail server and also RoundCube as webmail. When I create an account using Postfix Admin and login to webmail, roundCube creates the Junk Mail, Deleted Emails folder automatically. I also added this account to my Microsoft Outlook 2007. Following some tutorials on the internet I created an Outlook rule to move the sent emails to the IMAP server's sent mail folder. When I send an email, the email disappears from the default sent items of Outlook but it doesn't appear on the IMAP server's sent items folder. Do I have to set some kind of other permissions on the IMAP server to fix this problem? My version of Dovecot is 1.2.16. I want my clients use Microsoft Outlook and reach all received and sent emails via webmail anywhere they go. Many thanks Ceyhun

[Dovecot] Problem Authenticating with Master User
by Henry Franco 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Dovecot provides a master login (a master user name and password that can log into all user accounts). I've setup Dovecot as per: http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers Here's my problem. The only way I can authenticate successfully is if I try to authenticate through telnet twice. Also, imapsync (the tool I need to use to migrate over emails from Dovecot to other mail server) won't work because of this. $ telnet mail01.server.com 143 Trying 10.10.10.12... Connected to mail01.server.com. Escape character is '^]'. * OK Dovecot ready. 1 login user(a)server.com*master my_password 1 NO Authentication failed. 1 login user(a)server.com*master my_password 1 OK Logged in.

[Dovecot] Re-downloading mails after migrate server
by Esther Yébenes --Conzentra-- 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi all, first of all, I must say that I am pretty new to mailing lists, so please, if I do something wrong, just tell me. Now, my problem. I'm migrating a mail service from a temporal to a definitive server. Both servers have the same versions (Postfix, Dovecot -1.0.7, POP3 & IMAP services-, MySQL) and it all works perfectly. The only problem is with the users that store their mail on the server; on the testing, when I check if there is new mail, I download the mail stored on the new server once more. After that, it works correctly (no more unwanted downloads), but I need to avoid that first download. I have been investigating before writing to the list. I have checked that UIDL are the same on both servers, and the configuration is exactly the same except for the name of the server; I have seen in few places that it may be the cause for downloading thdovecote mail again, so I changed the name of the new server to the old's one, but it happened again. I know that lots of servers are migrated every day, and never heard about those problems, so I suppose it must be a solution for this, or maybe a better way to configure the servers. If you wanna take a look at the configuration of both servers, I have pasted them on here --> http://pastebin.ca/2051228 Please, let me now if you need any more information.

[Dovecot] [dovecot] Question about master user and PAM with dovecot 2.0.12
by Jonathan Siegle 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Is it possible to allow master users to be authenticated against PAM? Something like: passdb { driver = pam #args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master = yes #pass = yes } and then have a userdb which qualifies what accounts are master accounts but doesn't have passwords? Thanks, Jonathan

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot Folder Creation Problem
by Ceyhun Ganioglu 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi Robert, Many thanks for your reply. I realized that the title of my email was not explaining my exact problem. My problem is not the creation of the folders. I am happy with the folders created by RoundCube. I am confused why Outlook can't write to the Sent Items folder. Logically Outlook, TB or any other email client must have permission to write the sent mails to the chosen sent mail folder on an IMAP server without any problems. Am I wrong?

[Dovecot] how to limit size of dovecot.log
by Aaron C Johnson 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

I've done some searching and maybe I'm missing something... I have a remote dovecot and postfix server running on debian 5. I then have a local fetchmail server that retrieves email from the dovecot server via pop3s every 5 minutes. The problem is that the /var/log/dovecot.log file has grown to be over 1.1GiB over a period of less than 1 year. Is there a way to limit the size of the dovecot.log file, or do I have to run a monthly cron job or something to take care of it for me? Thank you, Aaron Johnson

[Dovecot] Segmentation Fault in doveadm move under Solaris 10
by Jürgen Obermann 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Hi all I want to move mails from folder test-ein to another folder test-aus with the new "doveadm move" command in dovecot 2.0.12. When I try the following I get a "Segmentation Fault" after the mail was copied to the new folder: # doveadm -v -f flow search -u g033 mailbox test-ein all 56779e33a911b84db22900005451a966 1 # doveadm -v -f flow search -u g033 mailbox test-aus all # doveadm -v -f flow move -u g033 test-aus mailbox test-ein all Segmentation Fault # doveadm -v -f flow search -u g033 mailbox test-aus all 57779e33a911b84db22900005451a966 26 # doveadm -v -f flow search -u g033 mailbox test-ein all 56779e33a911b84db22900005451a966 1 The mail now is in both the source folder and the destination folder.
