[Dovecot] old mails
by Timo Sirainen 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

I just got a 6 months old mail to this list and wondered for a while why it happened. Looks like the old dovecot.org was rebooted and Postfix went up and started sending queued mails. So just ignore if you got those.

Or for the elucidation of the folks that are following the list trying to decide what efforts they will have to undertake to make the switch. p.s. The folks at AT&T also recommend that "you" use the newer version of gcc than the older-hacked-to-get-something-for-Tiger version of the Apple Leopard version they (AT&T) are providing -- it is further down the page where they provide links.

Apple & GNU. yes, 4.2.1 is "not distro" ... but it *is* up-n-coming, as evienced by the fact that it *is* offered on the darwinsource page. i'd gather tss would like to know about issues. (it shouldn't be terribly surprising for a projects' beta release to at least be _tried_ with _other_ projects' beta releases ...) cheers.

[Dovecot] How to find an invalid configuration in dovecot.conf
by Laurent PELLISSIER 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hi, I'm trying to test Dovecot as an IMAP ans POP3 server but I ran into a fatal problem. On the client side (telnet) I'm trying very basic IMAP commands : $ telnet localhost imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. * OK Dovecot ready. 1 LOGIN lavande secret 1 OK Logged in. Connection closed by foreign host. The login succeeds but the connection hangs ! On the server side it complains that the configuration file dovecot.conf is invalid (it was copied from dovecot-example.conf) but it never tells what line number is incorrect. dovecot -a or dovecot -n doesn't complain about a syntax error or something. It works for POP3 for the same user/pass. # /opt/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -F -c /etc/dovecot.conf dovecot: Nov 28 15:43:42 Info: Dovecot v1.0.8 starting up dovecot: Nov 28 15:43:53 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<lavande>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured dovecot: Nov 28 15:43:53 Error: IMAP(lavande): Error: Dovecot is already running with PID 4369 (read from /opt/dovecot-1.0.8/var/run/dovecot/master.pid) dovecot: Nov 28 15:43:53 Error: IMAP(lavande): Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf dovecot: Nov 28 15:43:53 Error: IMAP(lavande): Fatal: EOF while reading environment from master dovecot: Nov 28 15:43:53 Error: child 4380 (imap) returned error 89 Best regards, -- Laurent PELLISSIER @ Ecole des Mines d'Alès

[Dovecot] quick question about fs quota overhead in plugin
by Adam McDougall 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Last night I enabled imap_quota so dovecot could report usage reported by disk quota. I don't intend to actually use the quota plugin to place any limits anytime soon though. How much overhead does this add to normal operations that allocate disk space? Ideally I'd like a situation where the only overhead is incurred when the user uses the mail client to specifically check their usage. Is that possible, and/or is there a better way to do this? If it does cause general overhead on the NFS filer, I could just accept it until/unless I feel it becomes a burden I cannot bear. mail_plugins = acl fts fts_squat quota imap_quota ... quota = fs ...
