Hello, we're having some problems with our dovecot setup. I've seen similar problems in the mailing list some years ago but alas wasn't able to find a solution. Our setup is as follows : An MX farm (postfix) sends mails via LMTP to a director farm (dovecot 2.1.12) which proxies pop3/imap/lmtp traffic to a dovecot farm (dovecot 2.1.16). All mailboxes and indexes are on NFS and all

others have found this problem ? this possible bug can be used by user in that way that one password login can use 2 maildirs in filesystem effitively give them all space qoutas and lost of other goodies so to speak: foo at example.com with a password can login with fOO at example.com and fOo at example.com add more chars to get more mailbox :/ confirms ? i found the problem when i had

Hello, I'm preparing to convert from qpopper + UW-IMAP to dovecot. So far testing has gone very well. One problem we haven't figured out is that long-running POP sessions keep the mailbox locked, so that the MDA times out while trying to deliver. We're using "maildrop" as our MDA if that matters. We don't see this issue for dovecot IMAP sessions. During long-running

I have set up postifx and dovecot (1.1) with virtual users and delivery via LDA. I am very pleased with the results so far but have this problem with quotas. ? Setting a global quota using plugin { } I initially used maildir to set quotas, but they seem to apply to all folders apart from INBOX. ? For debugging I switched maildir to dict using mysql. The table populates as it should with sizes and

I have two accounts where the inboxes sometimes get corrupted. In that case they begin with "FFrom". I saw similar reports in July/August last year. So I applied the patch http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/attachments/20100720/e87b32ae/attachment-0001.bin Yesterday a mbox corruption happened again. Here are the log lines.

Hello all, I am struggeling to get my Dovecot SASL to work within postfix. I have used the configuration example listed on the main-site of dovecot and it basically isn't giving me any success at all. I am probably missing something easy, but after spending a few days testing and walking through everything I could think about I thought figured it was better to ask :) Hope someone can point me

Hello all. I have strange problem. As I understand IMAP use server2client command to tell what new email is arrived. So - all was good, but few weeks ago I notice what my thunderbird not show new messages. I think it was local problem(I switch distro what day) but soon my email clients what uses mostly Outlook-2007-SP1 start to confirm this problem. What can it be and how can I fix it? I

This is with respect to an error that I am facing in dovecot.

Hi All I have not been able to get per user quotas going. A general quota works fine. My LDAP server is windows 2000.

Hi All, Relatively new to Dovecot - converting from courier-imap. So far, I've got it working with virtual users (postfixadmin tables), and it seems to be working. I'm trying to get sieve working. It's not, so I tried turning up the logging, and putting it into a separate log file to get it out of the syslog for now. I can get the main dovecot to log, but I cannot get any log

Hi all, I have a Postfix+Dovecot working in beta/testing; it seems to run very fine, but one beta-tester user says that kmail informs him about frequent desconnections.

I've been using 1.1.8 successfully but tried out 1.1.10 this morning. I have a combination of system and virtual users. The system users were unaffected by the change, but the virtual users all lost access to their mail because their home directories, as interpreted by dovecot, moved from user at domain to user at user@domain. The location of the home directory is given to dovecot for

Thanks for Dovecot! I am currently testing several scenarios to help determine how to best implement dovecot for our environment. One scenario of particular interest is Maildir + NFS, load balanced between several servers running dovecot. I am not sure anyone would ever want to implement what I am about to describe here, but none-the-less, I thought I would mention it to the list to see if

I am using dovecot in mbox format. I'm going to set to leave the 30-day mail to the server with the mail client. The other day, some of email was received duplicate When receive mail. Mail does not arrive between Nov 4 11:09:03 and Nov 4 11:13:25. There should be the 259 (274-15) messages at the time of Nov 4 11:09:03 on the server from the log. But there were the 280 messages at the time of

Hi. I'm new to Dovecot and about to start using it in production. In the config file, I set the option, auth_debug_passwords, to yes. I do not see any failed passwords logged, however. It did cause more verbose authentication logging, but failed passwords are still hidden. I have also set these options to yes, because I thought they might be required for auth_debug_passwords to work:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've spent the past couple of hours trying to figure this out by checking the wiki and googling, but haven't come up with anything that works yet.
