[Dovecot] running only the dovecot-auth service
by Udo Rader 05 May '06

05 May '06

Hi, we are just testing postfix 2.3 in combination with its new dovecot SASL plugin. Now what we would like to have was dovecot SASL without acutally running dovecot ... The reason for this is because we have the "real" dovecot running on a different server than the postfix instance and it would be nice if it would not be necessary running an "full" dovecot on that server for only SASL support. So is it possible to start only the "dovecot-auth" part of dovecot? Another idea that I had was to export the created auth socket via nfs. Somewhere, sometimes I think to have read that it was possible to use unix domain sockets over nfs mounted shares, but I am not sure about this (and have failed so far).

[Dovecot] Bug in new mail-index-transaction.c
by Bill Boebel 04 May '06

04 May '06

These changes apparently broke something: > 2006-04-24 09:17 Timo Sirainen <timo.sirainen(a)movial.fi> > > * src/lib-index/mail-index-transaction.c: Fixed crash while > updating keywords (broken by recent changes). > > 2006-04-20 14:10 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> > > * src/lib-index/mail-index-transaction.c: If we sorted appended > messages, we weren't sorting extensions and keywords so they were > mapped to wrong messages (dbox-only problem, keywords not yet > fixed by this change). What I am seeing is when there are messages that have keywords set, Dovecot occasionally hangs while building the index and/or uidlist. It leaves a lock file "dovecot-uidlist.lock" around and the IMAP process reading that folder never completes successfully. To fix it, I have have to rename the message files to remove the keyword. For example: $ mv 1146246349.P365Q2.mail1b.r1.iad.emailsrvr.com:2,Sa 1146246349.P365Q2.mail1b.r1.iad.emailsrvr.com:2,S I reverted back to the copy of src/lib-index/mail-index-transaction.c from the 4/14/2006 CVS snapshot, and this problem completely went away. And mailboxes that were encountering the .lock problem suddenly worked again. If there is any additional information that you need in order to troubleshoot this bug, please let me know and I'll be happy to send it. Bill

Hi there, i'm trying to get dovecot, procmail, postfix & SpamAssassin working together http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=441062 But i'm not having a lot of luck, a question about dovecot, what kind of mail box am i using? mbox? if so does anyone know if procmail can use mbox? /etc/dovecot.conf protocols = imap pop3 imap_listen = [::] pop3_listen = [::] imaps_listen = pop3s_listen = log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log login = imap login = pop3 default_mail_env = mbox:/home/CATHEDRAL/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root -- Paul Matthews I.T Trainee | The Cathedral School Ph (07) 47222 194 | Fax (07) 47222 111 PO Box 944 Aitkenvale Q 4814 E: paul.matthews(a)cathedral.qld.edu.au W: www.cathedral.qld.edu.au Anglican coeducation | Day and Boarding | Early Childhood to Year 12 Educating for life-long success **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** *********************************** IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY This electronic email message is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential information.

It's getting weirder and weirder. 1) imap works fine when i connect to this dovecot from a remote client (e.g. thunderbird or scripts provided above) 2) everything works fine when i use the troubled box and connect to a remote dovecot server, using telnet and the scripts provided above. 3) the scripts above do work when used with localhost but they are extremely slow. It takes about 1,5 to 2 minutes to complete just to perform a login/logout sequence. Seems to be something wrong with connecting to localhost on that port. Can't pinpoint what it is. Oh by the way, results do not differ when the firewall is enabled or disabled. Floris

[Dovecot] Dovecot-1.0.beta7 Build Fedora 3 Error
by Luke Jackson 03 May '06

03 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

[Dovecot] "0" quota and Maildir++
by Apps Lists 03 May '06

03 May '06

Hi Timo. I saw the "0" quota should be interpreted as unlimited in the ChangeLog from yesterday's snapshot. I just tested and it's still seeing zero as zero. I am unable to append any messages. Can you double-check this feature? Thanks! Steve
