Hi, Sometimes a script kiddie tries to guess passwords on our mailserver (Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, postfix, dovecot 1.2.9, scanners, the standard stuff). That leads to a nagios message about the high number of processes. The number goes above 500. Nagios threshold is set to 250, which is more than enough for normal operation of this server. When are these processes supposed to die again? They seem to

Hello, I have dovecot set up with expire-tool to nuke Junk messages greater than 30 days old. On a server with many user accounts, it seems to work on most of them. However, on my user account, expire-tool skips my Junk folder entirely, despite it containing messages from January of this year. Here is the expire-tool --test output: Info: alex at scienceforums.net/Junk: timestamp 1284027481 (Thu

Hey everyone, back on the list after a few years away. I have a strange issue that is just annoying. Trying to work out if it's Dovecot or Thunderbird causing the problem. Basically, I read an email (so it gets marked as read) and then very quickly I mark is as unread, (i.e. I realised I want to leave that email for later) which causes a duplicate email to be created. Generally I believe both

Hi using dovecot 1.0.10 with pop/imap, using maildir, with 2000+ users mostly using pop but many using imap. Once in a great while I have problems with dovecot pop timing out. If I telnet to port 110 it just takes forever to come up or it doesn't at all, the samething happens on the imap port although 110 is always worst. At 1st when troubleshooting I was not sure what was causing the

I'm trying to migrate from qmail to postfix. The original server is combo of qmail and Courier imap (no pop mailboxes) I have a working Postfix config and had imap working with Courier imap on the new server. I thought I would experiment with Dovecot as it has some good press. I have moved the contents of my original maildir's to the new server and ste permissions and group membership

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

I am trying to tell Dovecot deliver to use $mail_location as the location to store mail for system users. From the docs I've read <http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation> I believe this is possible, but mail to my system users always gets delivered to their /home/<USERNAME> homedirectory. Here's what I've done so far: # Postfix main.cf mailbox_command =

I've tried to setup Postfix to use SASL, but it still doesn't seem to be working with Dovecot. I've set things up based on these instructions: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA I've compiled Postfix with Dovecot SASL and SSL/TLS support. The problems I'm seeing in Postfix are:

- Postfix is doing its job sending and receiving email. It puts the email in the unix user mailboxes (MBOX). - My Outlook client is authenticating with DoveCot using IMAP protocol without issue. The Problem: The mail that is placed my system users mailbox by postfix is not being transmitted to my outlook client by dovecot. /etc/postfix/main.cf:

I really could use some help. I have been using dovecot and qmail on Debian for years with no problems. I just replaced qmail with Postfix and have not been able to get messages to dovecot via deliver. I have tried to set it up as a virtual mailbox only "no lookup necessary" system following the vaious help pages. I am using just a single user vmail:mail to execute postfix and

I am moving away from Cyrus, I'm trying to migrate to Dovecot. I am trying to get Sieve working with Dovecot and Postfix and it just won't work. Postfix is able to delived new messages to the "new" subfolder of the inbox structure. After I run Thunderbird, the new message gets moved to "cur" and it shows up in my inbox. So far so good. But now I'm trying to add

Hi list, I have 7 virtual users in a sql database. I don't want any systemusers or local delivery using postfix. On the postfix side everything works fine as long as I use the 'local' delivery agent. But since I want to use dovecot's sieve functionality I set local_transport to dovecot. From now on Postfix seems to ignore local_* settings like local_recipient_maps. Here is my

Hello, I need some guidance with setting up a public namespace with per-user \Seen flags. What I want to do is that a group of users access the public namespaces and if user A reads a message, user B should still see it as new until he reads it himself. This is not happening now, and I can't figure out why. Here's the config: # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux

Hi, I have some trouble to use dovecot as MDA. I followed the instructions in http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA and http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix I have multiple virtual users, stored in a LDAP server, and it look like postfix is still delivering the mails directly to the maildirs. Dovecot version : 1.2.15 (using the 1:1.2.15-4 squeeze packets) postfix version : 2.7.1 (using the 2.7.1-1

This probably is a postfix problem, but I think there are lots of postfix experts/users on this list, and have heard a lot good things about this list, so I am just giving it a try. Thanks in advance! I am using dovecot-1.0.0-8_56.src.rpm downloaded from atrpms.net, and rebuilt from it(rpmrebuild ...). Postfix is 2.4.3. I followed documents at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA and LDA/Postfix, and
