by Götz Reinicke 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hi, we run a dovecot mail-server with about 50GB of e-mail and at the moment users are responsebil for macking ther own backup of e-mails. But I'd like to have also a backup of the mail, beckause not all users do ther backups ... We use mbox-format-mailboxes. Any ideas how to backup the mailboxes without stopping the server, doing a backup to disk/tape/...? Thanks for any ideas ant tips!

[Dovecot] mail messages moving between mailfolders
by taras＠elantech.ru 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hello to all! I'm using IMAP-based antispam self-learning. I have a folder "spam" in each Maildir in which I place spam-tagged messages during delivery. If antispam filter makes mistake, user can drag'n'drop message to/from "spam" folder. I running perl-script periodicaly and retrain spam-filter (dSpam). Now I must scan all messages, but it's not a good practice (server load depends from mail volume, not user activity) so I want add a "hook" to IMAP-server, i.e. I want server to report me something like "date: file1 -> file2" via any IPC (socket?) or log file while user moves messages across different mail folders. Overload from antispam retraining will be function from user activity with such feature added. P.S.: Now I'm using courier, but want to try dovecot. Sorry for bad English. With respect, Taras. -- С уважением, Савчук Тарас "ЭЛАНТЕК" +7 (495) 589 68 81 +7 (926) 575 22 11 http://www.elantech.ru

hi all just a quick question i have dovecot (0.99.14 yum install) running on my fc4 server to get this working, i had to downgrade from mysql 5 to fedora's mysql rpm's i really would prefer to use mysql 5, but to satisfy the dependencies, i had to go to mysql 4 now, i just want to know if there is an rpm (linux rather than specific fc4 version is fine) out there for dovecot, that i can use with mysql 5 definitely prefer rpm's to src as i don't really like getting into the nitty gritty of config/setup thanks dave -- http://dtracorp.com

[Dovecot] Dovecot-1.0.beta7 Build Fedora 3 Error
by Luke Jackson 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hello I'm attempting to configure Dovecot with mysql support so I'm able to have a single database of users and point both postfix and dovecot to this db. I currently have an rpm src that I have download and placed in my RPMBUILDROOT of my linux box. Next I configured the .spec file and attempted to run a rpmbuild -bb Near the end of the install phase I receive an error which has me stumped. I ran rpmbuild again and used the -bi --short-circuit options and logged the output for you to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated..... rpmbuild -bi --short-circuit dovecot-fc5.spec Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.44599 Making install in src make[1]: Entering directory

Hi, the changelog of beta4 suggested that ACL support was added but I couldn't find any documentation for it neither in the tarball nor in the wiki. Timo, do you already have some writeups regarding the ACLs or do I have to RTFS? best regards, Michael

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA troubles (input in flex scanner failed)
by Mark Moses 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hi all, I'm running fedora core 5 with postfix 2.2.8 (modified rpm version) and dovecot 1.0 beta7 and dovecot-lda nighly cvs snapshot from 14-04-2006 I might need to add that amavisd-new is configured as a content-filter. I have postfix running using virtual users in an mysql database and I have setup dovecot lda in postfix like the wiki says here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#head-dacb9b9a1f19c3ea86bb6f8caa3d64e3ddad9ef8 When I sent an email using this setup I get the following error in my maillog: May 1 20:41:29 calimero postfix/pipe[15760]: 8337934FABB: to=< mark(a)mydomain.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=0, status=bounced (Command died with status 2: "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver". Command output: input in flex scanner failed ) I really don't know if this is a configuration problem or a bug and how I can get more information about the error note: I haven't included config-files, but if they are needed I will provide those of course Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Sincerely, Mark

Building a newer version of Dovecot on Fedora is dead simple: ./configure --with-mysql make make install And you absolutely DO NOT want to run Dovecot with MySQL authentication using the 0.99 builds. There are many many bugs. Go get yourself the latest 1.0 beta version instead. -- Roger J.

[Dovecot] FreeBSD 6 - DirectAdmin - dovecot
by Floris van den Berg 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

Since version 1.0 I experience strange problems with dovecot. At the moment I have beta 7 installed. I use FreeBSD 6.0. * Pop3 works * Imap works, but only when i telnet to localhost * In all other cases I can't connect to the server. Tried with squirrelmail, uebimau and thunderbird. Squirrelmail after a long time waiting: "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server." Happens too with firewall switched off. Happens too when i restart exim and dovecot. /var/log/maillog mentions something about Inactivity. When i do tail -f /var/log/maillog and try to connect using squirrel, i see hardly any imap messages fly by, except 'inactivity'. Any ideas? Floris
