Hi, all! I configured Dovecot to use many protocols. To do this, I wrote: mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 apop ntlm Very strange, if I ask the capability, I get: CAPA TOP UIDL RESP-CODES PIPELINING STLS USER SASL PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 NTLM . I can't understand why APOP is not written (but I can use it!) and why I can see SASL, that I didn't configure... How can I change these message so that...

I want to turn off POP3 and use POP3S in its place. So far, it's working well for Outlook and Thunderbird. But I'm running into problems with Agent: It supports APOP but not POP3S. Is there a way to have Dovecot support APOP authentication on a normal POP3 connection? I'm running 0.99.13 on Fedora Core 3. -- Steve

Timo, It looks like Dovecot 2.0 appends an APOP challenge to the POP3 greeting even if APOP is not an enabled auth mechanism. Is there any way to disable this? We don't support APOP, and the challenge includes the private hostname of the server, which we'd rather not have in the banner. It looks like get_apop_challenge in 1.2 returns NU...

Hi, We're running dovecot 1.2.15 and use SQL authentication. We'd like to be able to support APOP, but can't see how this would fit in with SQL auth. Currently we have: password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u' or (email LIKE '%n@%%' AND unhashed='%w') It seems that in order to auth APOP logins, we'd need to access va...

But if I do not give them a writable home directory, I got this error in my syslog all the time: mbox: Can't create root mail directory /home/homeless/mail: Permission denied 2. I would like to use APOP in addition to SSL/TLS. Currently Dovecot saves APOP passwords as clear text. I understand this. But is it possible to have some sort of encoding, for example, Base64? Just to prevent casual reads. I have several users. I do not want to know their passwords just to add them to the APOP databa...

How does one go about generating a local password database for apop authentication? Or can it simply run against /etc/passwd, using a PAM entry? (I forgot to append this to my last message... sorry...).

Of course if you advise I'll look at rebuilding newer versions or patched versions with(out) debug symbols. 1. When I attempt APOP login of any variety on the POP3 server auth dies with signal 11. passwd-file is of course listed as a password database, alongside shadow. I get back "-ERR Internal authentication failure - please try again later." or something like this and all subsequent authentication in that se...

For the benefit of poking and pondering, this is the relevant section of my dovecot.conf file. auth default { # Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms: # plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous gssapi mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } And this is the contents of the file 'dovecot'...

...ovecot'ers, I'm just getting started with Dovecot, and I'm not a programmer, so please be gentle. ;-) THE PLATFORM: NetBSD 3.0/SPARC, Postfix 2.3-RC8, current Dovecot RC (I forgot the number). Maildir-type directories. THE GOAL: To accommodate authenticated (remote) POP3 users with APOP or SSL/TLS, and allow users on the internal network (192.168.x.x) to just use basic POP3 without worrying about authentication. QUESTIONS: (1) Does the dovecot master daemon have to be running in order to call pop3- login from inetd, in response to POP connection attempts? If so, it could be a...

Hi, I'm looking for a solution to access pop mails (sendmail in linux) securely. Most of the access would be from window clients (outlook express etc). Is there a way to encrypt the password (like ssh2) when authenticating with sendmail? Any info is greatly appereceiated. Thx. Regards, Wong.

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 can run from their shell accounts. I'd like very much to use Dovecot for POP3, but would need to have it...

I'm facing a problem with dovecot 1.0 test-59; ever since I installed it and use it my random pool is always depleted whenever someone opens an imap connection. This wouldn't be too bad if the machine was used interactively, but since it is not and other services read directly from /dev/random those are sometimes blocked due to dovecot depleting the pool by reading /dev/urandom. Thus
