I've tried 2 builds of dovecot, based on a amd64 rebuild of the experimental package on http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ I've tried to include as much useful info as possible, sorry if I've missed out anything of use. Let me know as I'm more then happy to assist in any way possible. $ telnet host 110 Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. USER ian(a)domain.com +OK PASS ... +OK Logged in.

[Dovecot] Dovecot as a email storage system
by Roderick A. Anderson 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

I was thinking about all the old email I have and don't want to get rid of and how much space it is taking on my mail server. The idea came to me to install Dovecot on a server at home then I could drop mail into I want to save. It doesn't need to receive mail except what that is moved to it. Anyone see problems with doing this? Thanks, Rod --

[Dovecot] email stuck in outbox
by barnaby cockcroft 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Can anyone here help me out with a client side Outlook issue? I know outlook is a horrible imap client :( We intermittently have a problem where mail gets "stuck" in Outlook users' outboxes. Might have anything to do with dovecot? Is there anyway I can troubleshoot this server side? Are there any settings I can tweak? We have a new and an old dovecot server (see below) and both exhibit the same behavior (occasionally) for heavy mail users. We haven't ruled out a layer 2 issue but nor have we found one.... If anyone has any ideas (other than suggesting a different email client), they'd be much appreciated. Dovecot version(s) 1.19 & 0.99.11 Configuration from 1.19: # 1.1.9: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.9-78.0.13.ELsmp i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 7) ext3 syslog_facility: local0 ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/etc/ssl/**************** ssl_key_file: /usr/local/etc/ssl/***************** disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: mbox:/home/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl auth default: debug: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Broken dovecot-uidlist files
by Ulrich Zehl 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

I have just upgraded to 1.1.8, hoping to fix these types of errors: Jan 20 10:39:27 laura deliver(xxxxxx(a)example.net): Broken file /srv/storage/mail/store/net/example/xx/xxxxxx/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist line 156: Invalid data: Jan 20 10:41:19 laura dovecot: POP3(yy.yy(a)example.at): Broken file /srv/storage/mail/store/at/example/yy.yy/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist line 2: Invalid data: Unfortunately, they still pop up. Since I suspect these errors to be responsible for customers complaining about downloading mails twice, I'd like to fix them. Our setup has multiple servers sharing the same NFS-mounted directory for maildirs and indexes; we have set mmap_disable = yes dotlock_use_excl = yes fsync_disable = no mail_nfs_index = yes lock_method = fcntl As far as I can tell, for at least one of these errors, there was no concurrent access to the mailbox in question. What can I do to solve this problem, or to analyze it further? Ulrich

This is with respect to an error that I am facing in dovecot. The error is that is seen in logs is "Feb 23 00:04:46 mailblade1 dovecot: IMAP(USERNAME): /indexes/USERNAME/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist: Duplicate file entry at line 7: 1234776125.M559298P3988.s2o.qlc.co.in,S=13111,W=13470:2, (uid 94277 -> 97805)" This error is seen for multiple users.

[Dovecot] Postfix LDA vs the Dovecot LDA + other quetions
by Linux Advocate 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Guys , 1. What is the benefit of using Dovecot' LDA as compared to postfix's LDA? Will there be better performance? And along the same vein, 2. What is the benefit of using Dovecot's SASL as compared to Cyrus SASL? Is there better performance? 3. Quota Management ( Creating, enforcing, notifying ) - is it done thru dovecot or postfix or are both needed? Regards, mgomez

[Dovecot] pkgsrc-ing sieve and managesieve
by Edgar Fuß 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

I'm trying to integrate both the new sieve implementation and managesieve into pkgsrc. Managesieve seems to need some dovecot libraries that dovecot doesn't install (lib-storage/libstorage.a, lib-auth/libauth.a, lib-imap/libimap.a, lib-index/libindex.a, lib-mail/libmail.a, lib-charset/libcharset.a, lib-dict/libdict.a and lib-charset/libcharset.a). There seems to be no provision in pkgsrc for the build of a package needing the work directory of the build of another package. Would it make sense for dovecot to install those libraries?

[Dovecot] sieve-test again
by Ian P. Christian 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

I'm not sure what it is I'm doing wrong here, perhaps my 'test' mail is not in the format expected by sieve-test. The 'test' file is a file taken directly from a dovecot maildir - so is in the normal format of having headers, a new line, then the body. There is nothing exceptional about this email. Notice how the header below is 'innocent', however it appears that the test is ignoring this header. # grep DSPAM-Res test X-DSPAM-Result: Innocent # cat sievetest require ["regex", "fileinto","envelope","reject","vacation","relational","comparator-i;ascii-numeric"]; if header :contains "X-DSPAM-Result" "Innocent" { fileinto "moo"; stop; } # sieve-test -c ./sievetest ./test Performed actions: (none) Implicit keep: * store message in folder: INBOX Info: final result: success I don't think it's this header, but rather *all* headers, as the following check also appears to fail. if header :contains "To" "o" { fileinto "Spam"; stop; } Am I mis-using the tool? Thanks, Ian

Hello all. I use dovecot in combination with postfix, postfixadmin for virtual users. Deliver to the mailbox now is done by postfix Now i want to enable quota's and therefor i need dovecot deliver.
