I have tried all the methods outlined in the original email received from the list on unsubscribing and none work. Can someone tell me how to unsubscribe. All the links in the email sent to me when I subscribed are broken.

[Dovecot] The problem is in the folder, not in the messages
by Karl Eklund 11 Feb '04

11 Feb '04

About my problem with "dovecot crashes on certain spam messages", I have found that deleting the mail it is working on when it crashes just makes it crash on some other message, but deleting .imap.index.* from the directory of the folder in question makes everything good again.

[Dovecot] Dovecot on FreeBSD 4.9 - "Invalid Password Field"
by Jamie Heckford 10 Feb '04

10 Feb '04

Hi, I am attempting to get dovecot up and running on FreeBSD 4.9..... Tried with the default config file and my own one (below) but when trying to login I get the following: Feb 10 17:59:53 cobain dovecot-auth: passwd(jamie): invalid password field '*' It seems like it is trying to read straight from /etc/passwd? I thought it called getpw(). Is this a common error and could anyone shed some light on how to fix it? Thanks :) Jamie -- dovecot.conf ## Dovecot 1.0 configuration file base_dir = /var/dovecot/ protocols = imap imap_listen = 192.168.120.7 login_dir = /var/dovecot/login login_chroot = yes ssl_disable = yes ## IMAP login process login = imap login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_user = dovecot login_process_size = 16 ## ## Mail processes ## # Maximum number of running mail processes.

[Dovecot] ANNOUNCE: Mailadmin - New web interface for virtual domains
by John Thompson 09 Feb '04

09 Feb '04

Hey there, I've written a(nother) web front end for postfix + dovecot + mysql, it's called Mailadmin. (I'm sure you could use it with another POP/IMAP server, I haven't though) You can download it at: http://waste.org/~jello/mailadmin/ Some features are: o Licensed under the GPL o Written in perl o Written with security in mind o Supports regular mailboxes, forward-only boxes, and catchalls. o Ability to undelete deleted users (You'll have to do this manually for now (see TODO)) o You can add as many admins as you want, and they can only see or modify their own domains/users. o Uses HTML::Template, so you can edit the pages to appear as you want without having to muck through a bunch of code There are still a few features left to add (deleting domains for instance), but it's been working great for me for a while. Also, Debian Sarge (or later) users can use the install script and brief instructions to go from a bare-bones install to fully working postfix + dovecot + mysql virtual domains with web front-end in 5 or 10 minutes. Guaranteed! (ok, maybe not _guaranteed_, but it's quite easy). Feedback is much appreciated.
