Dear list, I have a small issue with dovecot talking to a postgresql server: If my postgres server get restarted, dovecot fails to reconnect to the postgres server. I run dovecot 0.99.9.1 (which is actually a cvs version of dovecot, of may 9 2003) I have the same postgres version for the server as I use for the libraries. Is it hard to get auto-reconnect to work? Kind regards, Maikel

Hi list, I am trying to build an email system that is using multiple frontends, to a clustered backend using nfs. The backend mounts his filesystems from a central storage, and will be running active-active. While reading through the dovecot documentation, I read that I could do without indexes (well: use memory indexes), and could then be able to run dovecot over NFS. Well: that was until

Hi List, While (bluntly) testing the prerelease version of dovecot on our mailfarm (just for the webmail imap) we noticed some small problems: - While our OLD dovecot/imap drove the load to a maximum of 1 over a day after running, the new dovecot/imap pushes it easily to 20. This is mainly due to a LOT more disk activity. This is probably caused by the fact we a) use indexes on disk and

My dovecot is from cvs, updated yesterday, and running on Redhat 7.3 (if that matters). Here is my dovecot-pgsql.conf: --8<-- # # Postgress connect string. Similar to PHP

Hi list! Since a week I am testing with dovecot, and I must say, I like it a lot :) Keep up the good work :) I do have one questing regarding dovecot: If I login to a mailbox, and the mailbox does NOT exist, and the parent directory does not exist either, I will get disconnected, and dovecot claims it cannot create the directory. (eg: my user blah at test.com has mail directory

Hi List! I read a post about moving a .mailbixlist to a .subscriptionfile when a user did not have one, but did have a .mailboxlist file. Timo emailed a module for that purpose, so it could be done for this user. My question is: - Where and how does dovecot call this function? - Would it be easy to use a module to a) create a mailpath (can be done as the mailuser's id, I use one uid, and my

Hi, just started using dovecot on FreeBSD. Nice and easy to configure :-) I then wanted to browse the dovecot mailing list, so, according to http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/mailinglists.html: IMAP archives available from dovecot.procontrol.fi, either use ANONYMOUS authentication or give anonymous as username and empty password. I was using a patched sylpheed that doesn't support

Hi List, When I try to set the default_pass_scheme in dovecot-pgsql.conf to CRYPT, the dovecot does not recognize my crypted passwords. If I prepend my encrypted passwords with {CRYPT}, dovecot DOES recognize it. (even when I set default_pass_scheme to PLAIN). Is this supposed to work, or am I misinterpreting things here? Thank you!

This was ment for the list :) Sorry Stuart, for the double email...

Timo- Thanks for all the help. After I changed the permissions to the virtual user I setup I had a few small issues but was able to work through them. Now IMAP is running great. But my new question is, do I need to do anything to get it to work with POP? My server refuses to respond on 110 and I'm wondering if there is something I need to do? I was under the impression that Dovecot can

http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/test/ Maildir syncing now works pretty much as described in my earlier mail. It was quite a large change, so please test this :) So the new and great features: - It's faster. - If someone renames maildir file just before we try to use it, we now resync the maildir and try to find it again. Before we just failed. It's also possible that the filename changed

I am using Dovecot to provide IMAP and IMAP+SSL service for my users, but am still using QPopper for POP3 service, wrapped with stunnel for POP3+SSL. I am hesitant to get rid of QPopper because it supports APOP, which encrypts authentication data (both where it is stored, and when it is transmitted), and because APOP passwords can be managed by the users themselves, via the popauth tool that they

No bug reports since rc4, so here it is. v0.99.10 2003-06-26 Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi> * Default PAM service name changed to "dovecot". This means that if you're using PAM, you most likely have to do mv /etc/pam.d/imap /etc/pam.d/dovecot If you wish to keep using imap, see doc/auth.txt. * ~/rawlog directory changed to ~/dovecot.rawlog + Faster and better

Hi all, I'm interested in implementing an anti-spam system using bayesian filtering. I had the idea of modifying and IMAP server to assist in training the spam filter. I was thinking of running a program whenever a message in moved to the folder "Spam" or to a "Safe" folder. This could be easily added to the server as a generic feature, with hook programs for: * new

Hey list, Today I cvs updated to the most recent dovecot, to test with the recent improvements on the dovecot-uidlist file, and came acros the following: Apr 11 12:49:36 pc-5-046 imap(): Corrupted index file (in-memory index for /var/mail/mounted/test.com/maikel/Maildir//.Sent Items): Filename mismatch for UID 1: 1050058115.P3401Q0M675362.pc-5-046.test.nl:2,S vs

I wasn't able to get DIGEST-MD5 authentication working with passwords stored as plaintext until I tweaked password_generate() to make it not use the domain portion of user at domain.com as the realm. Both evolution and kmail send the email address as the username with no realm; when dovecot tries to convert the username to user + realm, the hash is different and so DIGEST-MD5

http://dovecot.org/test/ - "Maildir sync: UID < next_uid (446 < 447, file = .." errors should be fixed - fixes for detecting changes in uidvalidity and external uidnext changes - several fixes and cleanups in index file handling. less code than before and now changes to index header also go through transaction log. that should mean that soon I can get mmap_disable = yes

Hi List! At the moment, our company is preparing to migrate from MS-Exchange to a dovecot mail platform. Since there is no way to access the emails on the file-store other than using webmail, pop or imap, I wanted to do this by using an imap-to-imap copy tool. I have found one that does the job (but POORLY), named migrate (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cyrus-utils/). Does anyone know some

Hi List, While testing with dovecot-1.0-test8 on our platform, I get al lot of these: May 11 11:42:50 mf1 dovecot: imap(user at domain.tld): Our dotlock file /var/mail/mounted/d/do/domain.tld/user/Maildir/.INBOX/ dovecot.index.log.lock was modified (1084268570 vs 1084268875), assuming it wasn't overridden This is probably due to some time-issues on our platform, and the load the
