[Dovecot] Compiling under Fedora Core 4 - Problem
by Marc Perkel 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

OK - trying to migrate to dovecot and I like what I see so far, but having a hard time getting it to work. I decided to go with the 1.0 version because I need to get away from the ~/Mail namespace. I'm trying to port from a Linuxconf virtual WU-IMAP type config. So - I compiled but then decided I wanted mysql so I tried to reconfigure and now getting compile errors. Looks like I'm missing something? /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(viossl.o)(.text+0x25): In function `report_errors': : undefined reference to `ERR_get_error_line_data'

[Dovecot] dovecot(pam_unix)[13823]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost
by Dovecot 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

I installed Dovecot on our FC3 sendmail server and get this from our Dallas office ( out of state to me ). dovecot(pam_unix)[13823]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost Only one Dallas user can get mail (pop3 or imap). All local users work fine. I ended upgoing back to UW and all works fine. What should I look for? Thanks

Re: [Dovecot] linux 2.4 vs 2.6 kernel
by Brian Bartholomew 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

I can heartily recommend reiserfs on kernel 2.4 for Intel and Sparc. My spam filtering setup currently has 27K files in a quarantine dir, and it works just fine. In a year and a half over 50 machines I've had three corrupted reiserfs filesystems, none of them on production machines, at least one of which I can blame on a bad disk. I would not be surprised to learn they were all bad disks, because the disks are five+ years old. For the last one I moved the bad dir aside where it sat peacefully for a week, and when I fsck'ed it the more aggressive mode of fsck coredumped partway through and it became unaccessable. I then restored it from the tar I had made prior. Brian

[Dovecot] IMAP: Get rid of non-existent folders below INBOX
by André Wendt 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

Hi, I am using Debian Sarge w/ dovecot-imapd package 0.99.14-1. Squirrelmail created three folders below INBOX, Drafts/Sent/Trash, that I already had elsewhere. Thus, I deleted them (through SqM). However, both Thunderbird and Squirrelmail still show these folders anyway. When I select them, I keep getting "Mailbox does not exist" errors. I already tried to move all .imap.index* files in .INBOX/ out of the way -- dovecot created new ones but the folders still appear. I am stuck. How can I prevent dovecot from advertising those non-existent folders? Is this an index-structure problem? I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, -- André

[Dovecot] issues/workarounds to build dovecot on OSX
by OpenMacNews 17 Jul '05

17 Jul '05

hi all, a few notes/issues re: building dovecot on OSX. first, after DL of cvs-head, % autogen.sh reports: autogen.sh: line 2: libtoolize: command not found o OSX, 'libtoolize' has been sed'd to glibtoolize. couple of ways to deal with this: (a) edit in autogen.sh aclocal --- libtoolize --force +++ glibtoolize --force automake --add-missing autoheader autoconf (b) run % autoreconf -i -f instead (c) i suppose yout can link: % ln -s /usr/bin/glibtoolize /usr/bin/libtoolize imho, too 'kludgy' ... never tried it. (d) put some sort of conditional in autogen.sh ... many options of course e.g.: HOSTTYPE=`uname` if [ "$HOSTTYPE" == "Darwin" ]; then LIBTOOLIZE=glibtoolize else LIBTOOLIZE=libtoolize fi fwiw, i'm using (b) --> % autoreconf -i -f successfully. next, dovecot's ./configure fails at the check for openssl: ... checking whether va_lists can be copied by value... yes ./configure: line 27241: syntax error near unexpected token `SSL,' ./configure: line 27241: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(SSL, openssl)' % within a pkg-config stanza ... as pkg-config does not exist on OSX, a couple of hacks in 'configure.in': =================================================== (EDITOR) configure.in @1032 if test "$want_openssl" = "yes" && test "$have_ssl" = "no"; then --- if pkg-config --exists openssl; then +++ if test -f openssl; then --- PKG_CHECK_MODULES(SSL, openssl) CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $SSL_CFLAGS" =================================================== , followed, of course, by another: % autoreconf -i -f take care of the problem. with changes as above, 'configure' with: ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot \ --exec-prefix=/usr/local/dovecot \ --bindir=/usr/local/dovecot/bin \ --sbindir=/usr/local/dovecot/sbin \ --libexecdir=/usr/local/dovecot/libexec \ --libdir=/usr/local/dovecot/lib \ --includedir=/usr/local/dovecot/include \ --sysconfdir=/var/Settings/Dovecot \ --localstatedir=/var/Process \ --mandir=/var/Documentation/man \ --datadir=/var/Data/Dovecot \ --with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/usr/local \ --with-rundir=/var/Process/dovecot \ --with-moduledir=/usr/local/dovecot-modules \ --enable-shared \ --enable-static \ --enable-ipv6 \ --with-pgsql \ --disable-debug completes sueccessfully, as do: make make check make install resulting in: % ls -aR .: . .. libexec sbin ./libexec: . .. dovecot ./libexec/dovecot: . checkpassword-reply dovecot-auth imap-login pop3-login .. deliver imap pop3 rawlog ./sbin: . .. dovecot dovecotpw as, i believe, expected. now, onward! cheers, richard

[Dovecot] "dovecot virgin": 1st questions ...
by OpenMacNews 17 Jul '05

17 Jul '05

hi all, "uncle"! i've thrown up my hands with cyrus, and am looking for a 'better alternative' ... i'm brand new to dovecot (haven't even built it yet ...), and have spent the last while reading through the LIST archives here. apart from the TECHNICAL aspects, which seem _more_ than adequate/competitive, i'm most attracted by a comment abt this LIST/community: > awesome technical support with patient developer-dudes on hand which, in a nutshell, is what i seem to be missing. so, i'm preparing to "take the plunge" w/ dovecot. two preliminary questions, if i might: (1) what sort of *interest* is there here (Timo? others?) in Dovecot on OSX? i'm usually able to get most anything up-n-runnig on my OSX boxes, but i'd like to join a community where every issue-on-Mac is not simply ignored/slammed ... and there might be folks willing to work with me on issues (2) here-we-go-again with the Maildir/Mbox decision :-) what's the latest thinking/recommendation here wrt mailbox/mdir? my specifics are -- i intend to backend Dovecot with Exim ... and will run my server 'closed box' ... i.e., no file-system-related User accounts. rather, just 'virtual' spaces. i'm leaning towards Maildir's one-flat-file-per-message format, with an eventual/possible move to storage in PostgreSQL if/when Dovecot adds the capability ... thoughts? (yes, i know, y'all must've had the discussion a g'zillion times ... a pointer to a good/relevant thread is great too!) cheers, richard

[Dovecot] Authentication feature I need
by Marc Perkel 17 Jul '05

17 Jul '05

OK - here's whay I need to make it work for my Linuxconf compatible authentication system. First - a question: Will this work? I can find docs on "virtualfile. auth virtualfile { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 userdb = passwd-file /etc/vmail/passwd.%d passdb = passwd-file /etc/vmail/shadow.%d user = root } Then - since the dmain name selects the passwd file, if there were a feature to make %n be us user instead of the whole email address then I have what I need. Password files are placed in the /etc/vmail directory as follows: /etc/vmail/passwd.domain1 /etc/vmail/shadow.domain1 /etc/vmail/passwd.domain2 /etc/vmail/shadow.domain2 The password and shadow files are exactly the same format as the /etc/password and /etc/shadow files. The user name within the files would be the %n part of the email address passed to authenticate with. Basically the password file names are /etc/vmail/passwd.%d with the user withing the file being %n. marc:x:40000:12:Marc Perkel:/vhome/perkel.com/home/marc:/bin/false test:x:40001:12::/vhome/perkel.com/home/test:/bin/false dd:x:40002:12:Atia:/vhome/perkel.com/home/dd:/bin/false test2:x:40003:12::/vhome/perkel.com/home/test2:/bin/false

[Dovecot] Feature Request - Authentication Scheme - Linuxconf
by Marc Perkel 17 Jul '05

17 Jul '05

This would make my life a lot easier in migrating to Dovecot. And it should be really easy to implement. Here's how linuxconf does it: Password files are placed in the /etc/vmail directory as follows: /etc/vmail/passwd.domain1 /etc/vmail/shadow.domain1 /etc/vmail/passwd.domain2 /etc/vmail/shadow.domain2 The password and shadow files are exactly the same format as the /etc/password and /etc/shadow files. The user name within the files would be the %n part of the email address passed to authenticate with. Basically the password file names are /etc/vmail/passwd.%d with the user withing the file being %n. marc:x:40000:12:Marc Perkel:/vhome/perkel.com/home/marc:/bin/false test:x:40001:12::/vhome/perkel.com/home/test:/bin/false dd:x:40002:12:Atia:/vhome/perkel.com/home/dd:/bin/false test2:x:40003:12::/vhome/perkel.com/home/test2:/bin/false It also makes merging several servers with separate passwd/shadow files into one virtual system because all you have to do is copy their existing passwd/shadow files into the /etc/vmail directory and rename them with the domain at the end. So - wouldn't that be easy to add? Sure would make migrating easy for me. -- Marc Perkel - marc(a)perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com
