[Dovecot] SSL error is it due to a self certified certificate?
by Matthew Bickerton 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hi I have set up dovecot with a self signed SSL certificate, created with the mkcert.sh script. Now I see the following in the log: pop3-login: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094416:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert certificate unknown [206.124.112.22] pop3-login: Disconnected: rip=206.124.112.22, lip=204.3.153.71, TLS handshake Is this caused by my self certified certificates. Or is it another problem? Thanks Matthew

[Dovecot] mail_log plugin, log throttling and killing of the IMAP child.
by Tan Shao Yi 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hi, Just a quick check, was wondering if anyone is experiencing problems mass deleting/purging mails from a folder? I am on RC19 with the mail_log plugin enabled. Quite often, when a mass deletion/purge is attempted, we receive the following message in the dovecot logs: dovecot: Feb 01 11:36:27 Error: IMAP(userid): Sending log messages too fast, throttling.. Sometimes this is accompanied by a message like the following and the user will be prompted with an error message saying that the connection has been abruptly terminated. dovecot: Feb 01 11:34:41 Error: child 3908 (imap) killed with signal 11 Is anyone experencing similar behaviour? Cheers, Tan Shao Yi

[Dovecot] Dovecot Wiki: Orphaned page on mbox locking
by Jim Garrison 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

The following shows up in the "orphaned page" list of the Wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxLocking?action=show&redirect=MboxSoftwareLocks Does the description of Dovecot mbox locking still apply to current versions? If yes, it should be linked from the "Troubleshooting" page. -- Jim Garrison (jhg(a)acm.org) PGP Keys at http://www.jhmg.net RSA 0x04B73B7F DH 0x70738D88

[Dovecot] unknown namespace with Mac OS client
by Francisco Reyes 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

I see in this thread, http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-April/012918.html, that others had simmilar problems with Mac OS client. Anyone got a working Dovecot + Mac OS setup? In particular with RC15. Our setup default_mail_env = maildir:Maildir namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } Would it help to use hidden = yes ?? Reading the description doesn't say much to me.. in particular I guess I am not familiar with the IMAP protocol to appreciate the explanation in the config file. The server is getting data originally coming from a Courier setup. I wrote a couple of scripts to convert files names and delete old setup files. So far we have moved 3 domains to this machine and the only one with the problem so far is the customer with the Mac client. Unless we can solve this soon, we will have to move him back to a courier server ... until we can figure how to solve this problem.

[Dovecot] Push IMAP
by Paul 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hearing that today's new Apple device is going to work with push IMAP from Yahoo, my first thought is to wonder whether an extension might make it possible for a Dovecot server to push its own IMAP in a compatible way. Paul

[Dovecot] command line options
by AJ Weber 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Is the wiki up-to-date on the command-line arguments that can be passed to dovecot? I don't like the fact that I have to hard-code the "listen address" in the config file. Even though it shouldn't change (rarely if ever), when I have a multi-homed host, I need to specify only one of the interfaces. Would it be possible to either: 1) Make --listen into an optional, command-line argument; or 2) Make the listen config-file parameter understand interface names instead of just IP Addresses? (Like "eth0") -AJ

[Dovecot] beta8: core, signal 11
by Jeff A. Earickson 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Timo, The gdb analysis is attached. It looks like memory got seriously stomped in this core dump. There was no assert or other useful information in the syslog. My setup: Solaris 9, imap and imaps, mbox format, INBOXes NFS mounted, index files on local ufs filesystem, beta8 configured like so: VERSION=1.0.beta8 CC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot.$VERSION \ --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-ssldir=/opt/openssl/ssl \ --with-sql-drivers=no \ --disable-ipv6 \ > configure.out Jeff Earickson Colby College
