[Dovecot] rc6 compilation problems (obsd 3.9 stable)
by Michal Soltys 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Starting with rc6, there seem to be problem with compilation on openbsd 3.9, (possibly due to autoconf 2.60 switch mentioned in other thread ?). Either way, this is what configure reports at some point (further compilation fails of course): checking for crypt... yes checking for dlopen... yes checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no ./configure: echo $(top_builddir)/src/lib-storage/index/maildir/libstorage_maildir.a: not found ./configure: echo $(top_builddir)/src/lib-storage/index/mbox/libstorage_mbox.a: not found ./configure: echo $(top_builddir)/src/lib-storage/index/dbox/libstorage_dbox.a: not found checking zlib.h usability... yes checking zlib.h presence... yes checking for zlib.h... yes

I keep getting this when enabling quota plugin for pop/imap dovecot: [ID 684838 mail.error] child 22990 (imap) killed with signal 10 protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota } quota = dirsize:storage=1024000 the user has only 40+mb in the home dir and the quota plugin properly shows 4% usage. However, messages can not be deleted or moved.

[Dovecot] dovecot and mysql replication
by Joseph W. Breu 08 Aug '06

Hello, How does one go about configuring dovecot to use 2 mysql servers. The code looks like it may handle it - but I have not found a config guide that answers my questions.

[Dovecot] Dynamic server address
by Kresimir Tonkovic 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Hi! My mail server (ubuntu breezey badger) is connected by ADSL and has a dynamic address. I have noticed that, every day after the IP address changes, dovecot is no longer reachable from the net. Iguess this is because dovecot doesn't register this change and continues to listen on a non-existing interface/address. I'm trying to solve this problem by putting a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up/ dovecot --===--- #!/bin/sh # By kresho # dovecot ip-up script (/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/dovecot) # /etc/init.d/dovecot restart ---===--- So far, it seems to work. I doubt I'm the first one to come across this problem, yet I couldn't find anything similar on google. Any comments? -- kresho

[Dovecot] Purging old mails
by Dave Hatton 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hi all, Firstly if this is a FAQ and I've missed it - let me apologise in advance. I use dovecot as a backup mail store and would now like to purge all mails over a certain age. Is it as simple as using find and rm'ing the results or is there more to it? I'm using maildir if that make a difference? Thanks in advance. Daveh

[Dovecot] RC6 startup failure: "Login prcess died too early"
by S JList 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Greetings. I have been running Dovecot-1.0rc2 on a test server for the last couple of weeks. No problems. However, when I installed RC6 this morning, Dovecot refused to launch completely. Here's the relevant snippet from /var/log/maillog: Aug 7 10:08:36 mercury dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc6 starting up Aug 7 10:08:37 mercury dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down Aug 7 10:08:37 mercury dovecot: child 26127 (login) killed with signal 11 Aug 7 10:08:37 mercury dovecot: child 26128 (login) killed with signal 11 Both RC2 and RC6 compiled cleanly with "--with-pop3d". For reasons beyond my control, I have to set protocols = imap pop3 disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl_disable = yes I do have a valid /etc/pam.d/dovecot file (we're using PAM). I made certain that the localized settings for /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf matched what they were in RC2 for RC6. (I did use the RC6 dovecot-example.conf as source for RC6, then made the local changes. I also tried testing RC6 with my old RC2 config file--same failure). So, RC2 starts just fine. RC6 fails to start with the messages logged above. Can anyone give me any pointers? RHEL (Linux Kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp), built from source, nothing out-of-the-ordinary. Right now, I've reverted back to RC2. TIA. S JList sjlist(a)heidelberg.edu
