[Dovecot] Dovecot LDAP Auth strange mailbox behavior
by Ryan Bloch 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

Hello everyone. I have setup a Debian Sarge server, with openldap, postfix, and Dovecot. I have been able to fix all the problems that have been logged thus far, and it seems to work. I am able to use a mail client to login to the pop3 server. The authentication works, and it logs as a successful login, but no messages download. I get a response: No New Messages. I have checked the user's maildir directory, and there are mails sitting in the new directory, so it should download. Anyone have any clues? Thanks in advance, Ryan

[Dovecot] Authentication Problems.
by Tom Ray [Lists] 18 Jul '04

18 Jul '04

Hey- I'm kinda new to Dovecot and I'm trying to do something and it seems I've hit a wall. I put together a server with Fedora Core 2, Exim 4.34, and Dovecot 0.99.10.6 and I need support mail for multiple domains so this is how I have my virtual setup: Virtual Aliases Files: /var/virtualdomains/$domain/etc/aliases Virtual Accounts Passwd File: /var/virtualdomains/$domains/etc/passwd with the following layout: user:passwd:uid:gid:Virtual User:/var/virtualdomains/domain.com/mail/user:/dev/null Virtual Mailboxes: /var/virtualdomains/$domain/mail/$user I got exim working without problem but when I tried to login via IMAP on Dovecot I'm getting 'a001 NO Authentication failed.' Now I have this setup in dovecot.conf: default_mail_env = mbox:/var/virtualdomains//%d/mail/%n/:INBOX=/var/virtualdomains/%d/mail/%n auth_userdb = passwd-file /var/virtualdomains/etc/virtpasswd It's my understanding that Dovecot can't parse out the domain name in the auth_userdb command so I modifed my setup to use just the one password file and modified it to this; user@doman.com:passwd:uid:gid:Virtual User:/var/virtualdomains/domain.com/mail/user:/dev/null Ownership/Group: -rwx------ 1 dovecot dovecot 36 Jul 13 18:41 passwd Is there a setting I have wrong, a step I'm misisng, a permission I don't know about....let me know if there is any other information you might need and I will provide it. TIA Tom Ray

[Dovecot] SSL Certificates and multiple domain names
by Daniel L. Miller 18 Jul '04

How can I have Dovecot either return a different certificate for each domain/hostname or a certificate that supports multiple names? I currently access my imap server through two different hostnames and three domain names. Daniel

[Dovecot] Testimonial
by Kenneth Porter 16 Jul '04

16 Jul '04

I just switched my main "library" of over 100 mailboxes from UW-IMAP on a gutless wonder with 600 BogoMIPS and 200 MB to a box with 2000 BogoMIPS and 1 GB, and also switched from UW-IMAP under RH7.2 to Dovecot under Fedora Core 2. Using Mulberry on Win2k as the client, it used to take several minutes to check for new mail in all folders. Now it takes just 2-3 seconds. Opening large folders with 100's of messages used to take a dozen seconds or more, and is now down to at most a second or so. IMAP is no longer frustratingly slow. Now to figure out what to do with all my spare time....

[Dovecot] can't see IMAP folders - Fedora Core 2
by Ralph Brown 15 Jul '04

15 Jul '04

Recently, I upgraded (switched) to Fedora Core 2. Previously, I was running Fedora Core 1, with Cyrus-IMAP, and life was good. Now, I can not see any of my folders. I suspect it is a simple dovecot.conf configuration edit, but i'm not experienced enough with it to make the correct edits. I am using Postfix with Dovecot. My mail directory is; /home/(user)/mail snip from the conf file; --------------------------- You can also limit a width of string by giving the number of max. characters # after the '%' character. For example %1u gives the first character of # username. Some examples: # # maildir:/var/mail/%1u/%u/Maildir # mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u # mbox:/var/mail/%d/%n/:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n # #default_mail_env =/home/%u/mail ---------------------------- Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
