[Dovecot] 1.0-test44
by Timo Sirainen 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ I think I finally fixed the hangs some people have been having when downloading mails. For some reason I could never reproduce this problem with Linux or Solaris, but with OpenBSD it happened immediately. Stupid problem with marking output buffer empty if it was full and write() returned EAGAIN. Other changes include: - LDAP initialization crashed - fixed some compiler warnings and some issues with 64bit systems - fixed some memory leaks What bugs are there left?

[Dovecot] [Bug 124979] pam_succeed_if.so generates noisy secure syslog msgs (fwd)
by Kenneth Porter 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

For those of you using Dovecot on Fedora, the noisy syslog is fixed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124979 I'd suggest getting the pam SRPM from Rawhide (Fedora development tree) and rebuilding, to minimize dependency issues. (I haven't tried this yet. I'm just forwarding the bug-closing report.)

[Dovecot] Nested folders
by Melinda Taylor 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

hello, I know this is a question that has probably been answered before but I have searched for the answer and am yet to find it. I am running dovecot under fedora core 2 and cannot figure out where I set it so that users can create nested folders. At the moment they can only create one subfolder in most mail clients. however if using squirrelmail they can create nested folders but the folder whicch hosts the subfolders cannot contain mail messages as well as folders. Is this a setting in IMAP or with the mail clients. Many Thanks, melinda

Hello, I'm running the dovecot backports from jones.dk. Everything is working fine so far, but whenever someone is logging in (IMAP or POP 3) I get the following error message in my mail.log: [...] pop3(frederik): utime() failed with index file /var/mboxes/frederik/.INBOX/.imap.index: Operation not permitted [...] imap(jako1): utime() failed with index file /var/mboxes/jako1/.INBOX/.imap.index: Operation not permitted Rights for the ".imap.index" file are: -rwxrwxrwx 1 Debian-e mailserv 3792 Sep 21 11:50 .imap.index Thank you very much for your support. -Stephan

[Dovecot] problems building / starting test40 + test42
by Curtis Maloney 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

Hi I was trying to build test40 (and then test42, since it came out in the mean time) on my fresh Solaris 9 box at home, and ran into a few snags. First problem was during the build. Make spat the dummy in the auth directory: Making all in auth make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 701: Unexpected end of line seen Current working directory /home/pkg/dovecot-1.0-test42/src/auth So, I went and checked it out, to find what certainly looked to me like an error: 697:distclean-generic clean-generic maintainer-clean-generic clean \ 698:mostlyclean distclean maintainer-clean 699: 700: checkpassword-reply.c 701: 702:# Tell versions [3.59,3.63) of GNU make to not export all variables. Originally, I tried tacking that onto the end of the preceding list, but when the next problem came about, I tried commenting it out... with no joy. The next problem was in starting it. I've configured Dovecot before, and it runs great, keeping all the users at my work happy and supplied with spa... erm... e-mail. I also have an older test version installed on an old SparcStation 5 at home. But when I try to start it, it complains of not being able to drop root group privileges. I googled about for a bit, and found mention of ensuring the minimum GID level was set right... but still no joy. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions? Any requests for better info to help debug? -- Curtis Maloney cmaloney(a)cardgate.net

[Dovecot] Trying to install Test43 with rpmbuild
by Benjamin J. Weiss 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Hi! I'm using WhiteBox Enterprise Linux 3.0, which is a re-compile distro of RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0. I'm installing a new mail server and would like to use dovecot as it supports Maildir, which the default imapd does not. I've downloaded test43's tarball, and would prefer to use RPM to manage it. To that end, I've tried to do an rpmbuild, but get an error: [root@www src]# rpmbuild -ta dovecot-1.0-test43.tar.gz error: line 7: Illegal char '-' in version: Version: 1.0-test43 I tried untaring the tarball and looking at the dovecot.spec file, and sure enough on line 7 is a reference to "Version: 1.0-test43". The problem is that if I take out the '-', and try rpmbuild, I get more errors. I'm not an expert in this stuff...has anybody else managed to get this working? It would sure make my life easier (I think). Ben

[Dovecot] Mac Eudora and POP
by Chris Alexander 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

I didn't get much joy in the list archives... Has anyone seen an instance of Mac users (OS9) using Eudora not being able to pop their mail? They can imap ok, just not pop (non-ssl btw). Nothing special in the logs... I'm not a Mac guy per se, maybe I'm missing something obvious? -- Chris Alexander UNIX Network Administrator, Information Networks and Systems Division Communications Research Centre [ http://www.crc.ca ] Government of Canada [ http://www.gc.ca ]

[Dovecot] New Postfix + Dovecot + OpenLDAP + Jamm + SASL + TLS HOWTO
by Peter Lacey 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

All, That's a lot of plusses, but if anyone is interested in how I managed to get all these packages working together, I just posted this HOWTO to: http://wanderingbarque.com/mailserver.html The Postfix - Dovecot - OpenLDAP marriage is nothing new, the twist is integrating these packages with Jamm, a web-based interface for creating a managing virtual domains and users. Regards, Pete
