[Dovecot] SQL field format for digest-md5?
by Darren Pilgrim 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

I'm enabling digest-md5 authentication with "user(a)example.com" username and plain-text passwords stored in a MySQL database. What should the password field contain in order to work with digest-md5? Would the following: SELECT CONCAT('{digest-md5}', MD5(CONCAT(username, '::', password))) AS password ... be correct?

[Dovecot] copy LDA rule
by Nicolas Letellier 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

Hi dovecot@. I use the last dovecot (1.1.7) with sieve-plugin. All works perfectly. However, I would like to use a "copy" function. All mail sent by "toto(a)domain.tld" have to be copied in a folder (copy, and not move). So, I don't want to use a fileinto rule. I see in http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve there is a copy function (1.1 only). A rule like: if header :contains "From" "toto(a)domain.tld" { copy "test"; stop; } does not work. I have nothing into my deliver or dovecot log. However, if I replace copy by fileinto, it works. But I want to copy the email, not move it. I don't find any examples in the Internet or the wiki. Could you help me? Thanks! -- -Nicolas.

[Dovecot] MySQL as a storage only.?
by Romer Ventura 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

Hello, I was wondering is I could use MySQL as storage only..? Meaning that no user information, other than the obvious email address associated with an specific email so that each email can be showed to the right user, will be stored in a MySQL database instead of /home/vmail/DOMAIN/<user> Would I get any advantages.? Would it be better, faster? Thanks

[Dovecot] Is there a straight forward way to associate login with imap process
by Jack Stewart 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hi, Is there a way to associate a user's the login (imap-login) process with the user's 'imap [' process? We are trying to lock down an issue to make sure we full understand it. /proc and shared memory tools weren't particular useful. Just for context, we are having an intermittent locking index cache locking issue that appears to impact only a subset of our users. The index files are on NFS. It may be fixed by a dovecot patch (we are at 1.1.3), adjusting our tcp_timeout on the servers, upgrading out circa 2000 load balancer, the type and configuration of the multiple simultaneous persistent clients that user is using, etc. lslk, alert logs, strace, testing the most recent 1.1.X version, and file mtime is giving us some information but we want to make everything is covered. Many thanks in advance. ---Jack -- Jack Stewart California Institute of Technology jstewart(a)caltech.edu / www.imss.caltech.edu

[Dovecot] POP3 Immediate Connection Termination
by Kat Wisnosky 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hey everyone... Thanks in advance for any help. I seem to have the opposite problem that a lot of people have - I've been running Dovecot v. 1.0.10 quite successfully for IMAP for several months. However, one of our executives has her heart set on being able to get her mail via POP3. It looks to me like I have both configured, but when trying to log in via a POP3 or POP3s connection either via a client or through telnet, the connection is created than immediately terminated.

I'd like to host multiple domains though a central dovecot proxy - however, I need to present different certs to different hostnames (which are on different IPs). I can't see a way to this in the documentation, is it possible? thanks, Ian

[Dovecot] Move mail in Maildir without IMAP
by RW 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

I set-up some spam/ham learning folders where a crontab entry learns the mail and them moves it do a different Maildir folder. Unfortunately, since it has a different dovecot-keywords file, any imap flags get changed to unknown-0, unknown-1 etc. I tried the following, but it didn't work mv "${src_ham}"/cur/* "$dest_ham"/new/ cp "${src_ham}"/dovecot-keywords "${dest_ham}" Is there a simple way to do this correctly without going through IMAP? And are there any more serious consequences of moving mail like this, with dovecot imap running on top.

[Dovecot] Dovecot with LDAP on multiple domains ?
by Guillaume Hilt 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

Hello, I intend to set up a mail server for a few domains with Dovecot/Postfix/MySQL/DSPAM and antispam plugin. The better solution to manage users would be to set up a ldap server. So, do anyone have ever set up this kind of server with dovecot ? Any advice that would help me ? Thanks, -- Guillaume Hilt
