similar to: Dovecot LDA

Good afternoon, I am considering to upgrade from Dovecot 1.1.18 to 1.2.x and was reading your Wiki regarding any changes and found: "If you were using e.g. mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%h, just change it to mail_location = maildir:%h and add /var/mail/ prefix to home dirs." I am currently using: "mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir" in combination with vpopmail. Does

Hi all, I'm migrating a Postfix + Dovecot 1.0 server with mboxes to Qmail + Dovecot 1.4 with Maildirs and encounter the following the problem. Using perfect-maildir.pl from: http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/ i can relatively succesfully convert the mbox to a Maildir. The problem, however is that clients with "leave mail on server" set to on retrieve all email a 2nd time. I

Hi all, I'm trying to get Relay-Ctrl to work (as explained on http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PopBSMTPAndDovecot), however when i add: mail_executable: /usr/local/bin/envdir /etc/relay-ctrl /usr/local/bin/relay-ctrl-chdir /usr/local/bin/dovecot-settcpremoteip /usr/local/bin/relay-ctrl-allow /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap to /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf I get the following error message

Good morning, I have a question. Currently we are using Dovecot to handle our pop3, pop3s, imap and imaps connections. Our virtual domain management backend is vpopmail. Which works beautifully. Our current setup requires users to login with their email address and password (user at domain). We are now looking at migrating another server to our environment where users are logging in with their

Good morning all, I've a problem, I'm using the Dovecot LDA in my .qmail file: |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER However when I add a forward, such as: |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER <mailto:&wouter at vdschagt.com> &wouter at vdschagt.com The mail isn't forwarded

Hi Timo, ok, when dovecot starts up, it creates the socket files in /usr/local/var/run/dovecot for the auth and a variety of other socket stuff you have going on. It creates these socket files with root ownership. But I have in the config files that dovecot is running as a particular user (in this case uid100 and gid100) to match the global mail systems needs. I use qmail as the delivery agent,

I purely love that kind of crap. As if presentations meant anything, as if there aren't all kinds of scholarly work about theoretical perfect world algorithms and conceptual systems that will never be implemented and are as practical and effective as wings on a pig. Please. I'm reminded of the story about how, during the American Civil War, when the North had finally, after years of

Good morning all, I have a question. Due to my interest in the Sieve plug-in. I'm considering to change the LDA on my production servers from 'vdelivermail' from vpopmail to 'deliver' from Dovecot. However I'm not sure how to go about doing this or whether there are any conversion issues that I should be aware of. Currently my /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery is set to

Our current software setup: * Courier-IMAP running POP3/IMAP * Postfix MTA * MySQL backend for user and login info As for the system layout, it looks like this: * NFS server which is the same server that houses single
