[Dovecot] 1.0-test41
by Timo Sirainen 12 Sep '04

12 Sep '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ I think this release should be quite stable one. - fixes parsing mails with header lines longer than 8192 bytes - cache file corruption fixes - fixed "corrupted offset in mbox file" errors - don't return extra INBOX replies in LIST Those mbox and cache problems were pretty tricky to figure out. Thanks to Tomi Hakala for tons of testing while I tried to fix them. I've also began working with keywords support which hopefully doesn't take too long to finish. After that 1.0-alpha1 should be near.

[Dovecot] Dovecot-1.0-test32 fails with assertion
by dovecot 11 Sep '04

11 Sep '04

Hello, dovecot-1.0-test32 continuously fails on one of our customers mboxes with the following error: Sep 11 16:27:15 web dovecot: POP3(xxxxxxxxxxxxx.de1): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 360 (mbox_sync_read_and_move): assertion failed: (need_space == -mails[idx].space) About 200 other mboxes are working perfectly on the same server. Where should I start looking for the cause of this? Regards, Martin

[Dovecot] Errors with NFS root filesystem?
by Nate Carlson 11 Sep '04

11 Sep '04

Hey all, I've been testing out Dovecot, and it works nicely. However, when I tried to roll it to my production server, I'm getting the following error: Sep 10 17:14:22 tungsten imap-login: opendir(".") failed when trying to get list of authentication servers: Stale NFS file handle Any ideas on what I can do for this? I am running on a NFS root filesystem on the production server, so that's likely where this error is coming from. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | nate carlson | natecars(a)natecarlson.com | http://www.natecarlson.com | | depriving some poor village of its idiot since 1981 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The result is this: Request: A00099 LIST "" INBOX Response: * LIST (\NoInferiors) "/" INBOX Request: A00100 LIST "" {7+} Response: * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "INBOX/" Which makes Evolution think INBOX is unreadable. :) Thanks for looking at this. -s

[Dovecot] pop/imap & smtp auth installation with just one userdb
by Christoph Steigmeier 10 Sep '04

10 Sep '04

Hi First of all thanks to the authors of dovecot. It's a pleasure to work with it. I would like to ask, if somebody has an idea about how I can combine all mailusers (dovecot pop/imap & sendmail smtp) into one db, given that I'd like to use sasl with CRAM-MD5 as authentication mechanism to ensure security. The idea behind my question is, that it is easier to administer all mail users, which in my case are mostly non-interactive users, into one db, instead of creating native unix accounts for them. Any input appreciated. Thanks and Kind regards Chris

[Dovecot] Re: 0.99 mail env - mbox to maildir

Greetings ... > I'm all sorted now, anyway... but it has inspired me to build > a mailbox conversion tool using the dovecot mail handling > code.... watch this space. mbox to maildir converter ... There are a few perl scripts which could do this ... But I like the idea of mbox to maildir in dovecot ... But I wonder if that is the right place to put it ... Mailed Lee P.S. If anybody has scripts or a system that moves mail from mbox to maildir, I would be happy to use them ... I run FC2, with procmailrc setting maildir, but it seems when the system is busy or something, my mail is still put into mbox ...

I am having this same problem. We are running on a Solaris 8 server and Dovecot puts a blank line at the top of the mailbox and can no longer process until the line is deleted. Any idea how to fix this? Brad Allen IS EMS Projects and Planning

by Brian Hechinger 09 Sep '04

ok, so, dovecot 0.99.11, Solaris 9. i have: auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = shadow in my dovecot.conf, which gets me logged into dovecot in the first place, but then i get: Sep 9 09:52:41 ford.4amlunch.net imap-login: [ID 457029 mail.info] Internal login failure: wonko [10.0.1.6] in /var/log/syslog how do i track down exactly what the problem is so i can fix it? i would love to add SSL to my imap service, and don't care to mess with cyrus seeing how dovecot seems to be so nice. thanks!! -brian -- "The cats tend to administer themselves, and contrary to the expected facts, the house and everything in it was installed for their benefit." -- Nic Clews
