Summarising mail standards (WRT headers) There is a limit of 4096 characters per line. If Outlook is breaking at less than that it's a bug. If the References: line is longer than that then it should have been truncated by the sending MUA - there's no provision for multiline References headers (which are a non-standardised import from Usenet anyway).

[Dovecot] Sieve not working
by Christoph Pleger 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Hello, I installed dovecot 2.0.6 and pigeonhole 0.2.1 on my system, but I guess that sieve is not working, because netstat does not show that anything is listening to ports 2000 and 4190.

[Dovecot] Last login tracking with login_executable
by Denny Lin 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.2.14, and I've read PostLoginScripting on the wiki. Is there any way to make Dovecot use the same username/password for database access as userdb and passdb queries? Specifying the password with -p doesn't seem like a good idea, so I'm wondering if it can be handled by Dovecot directly. Or is it possible to track last logins with a plugin similar to quota? -- Denny Lin

[Dovecot] Keep a copy of email.
by Henrique Fernandes 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Can dovecot-lda, keep a copy of any email that it receives in a diferente folder ? Like if user(a)domain.com get an email. It goes to user(a)domain.com inbox and goes to other folder..diferente that his mailboxes ? I want this with all users. Can it be done ? If not, does any one have any ideia how could it be done ? We are having serius problems with backups, with this we gona be able to at least save one or two days of each emails, than rotate them again. I though about using postfix always_bcc, but would be everyones emails only in one account. Though in migh use sieve for filter this acount and separete it for each folder.. but i don't guess sieve could get a parameter from the email to make a filter.. or can it ? like, if email from user2(a)domain.com it goes to user2 folder, but this user2 would be variable, otherwise i have to create a sieve too bigm and would work i guess. Well, i am open to ideas. Thanks! []'sf.rique

[Dovecot] Getting plugin config by user
by Alex Baule 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

There is a native way to set/get a configuration to one plugin, to various users ? Like this: my_plugin{ user_a=configurations user_b=configurations user_...... user_z=configurations } I Have plugin and it can be enable/disabled by user. And i have a lot of users, like 10 m. i think if i do like this: my_plugin { configurations=user_a,user_b,user....,user_z } Can get much memory to read every line of configuration... Tks !

[Dovecot] Authentication a la Postfix's Mynetworks
by Asai 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Is it possible to automatically authenticate Dovecot users using the same type of mechanism which makes Postfix able to simply check SMTP users using the mynetworks variable? Basically I would like to be able to authenticate users on my designated networks automatically, and require a password for those outside this network. Is this possible? -- --asai
