Greetings - Work moves onward here at setting up our Dovecot IMAP service and I've got a couple more questions, I'm afraid... :-} ============================================== Q1. The UW IMAP Server supports "pre-authenticated connections" -- does Dovecot? Specifically, it is possible to create a symlink from /etc/rimapd to the UW IMAP server binary and then use rsh

Greetings - I think I've just had one of my fears confirmed: not Dovecot-specific exactly, but it affects how we will use of Prayer (Webmail Software) with Dovecot... Currently our production service uses MBX-format mailboxes with the UW IMAP server; we also use the University of Cambridge "Prayer" software for Webmail. By default Prayer saves its preference settings,

Greetings - Now that users are beginning to pile up more on our new Dovecot-based IMAP service I'm seeing a small number of entries like this in the logfiles: Corrupted index cache file /mailstore/index/o/ozw100/.INBOX/ dovecot.index.cache : invalid record size We are using Dovecot 1.0.3 with Maildir folders served over NFS from NetApp filers, but the index files are stored on local

Greetings - I've just built Dovecot 1.0beta8 and find it refuses to start. This under Solaris 10 on an Intel-based Sun system. The error message Dovecot displays (on standard error) in response to /usr/local/sbin/dovecot is Fatal: Protocol imaps given more than once I've checked through my configuration file and the only mention of "imaps" is here: # Protocols

...vecot 1.0.3 which we were running up until a couple of weeks ago. From there I upgraded first to 1.0.15 and then to 1.1.11. I'd hoped that upgrading would fix the problem: I see it has been mentioned before on the list, but not for a year or two. Can anyone give any help, please? Cheers, Mike Brudenell Configuration info Platform: Solaris 10 dovecot -n output is : # 1.1.11: /usr/local/dovecot-1.1.11/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.10 i86pc ufs base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /logfiles/mail/live/dovecot listen: *:143 ssl_listen: *:993 ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/dovecot/ssl/certs/imapservi...

Greetings - Could someone confirm how to perform various upgrades on a live system running Dovecot please? Scenario 1: Change to dovecot.conf =================================== If I make a change to dovecot.conf am I right in thinking I can simply send a HUP signal to the main dovecot process to get it to re- read the configuration file and act on its revised content? Scenario 2:

Greetings - I', continuing to build a test system that, at present, only I have access to. It is running Dovecot 1.0rc24. Here's the output of a "dovecot-n"... # /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /logfiles/mail/live/dovecot protocols: imap ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/etc/ssl/certs/imapservice-bundle.crt ssl_key_file: /usr/local/etc/ssl/private/imapservice-private.key

Greetings - I've just discovered an oddity I didn't know I had... We have two NetApp filers: one serves people's home directories; the other their message store and control files filestores. At the moment the first of the two filers is not accessible to my Dovecot system and I assumed all would be well because, as far as I knew, I wasn't using it at all. However in

Greetings - On one of the mailing lists I'm on there was a recent-ish discussion about webmail clients, and someone mentioned a site selling sets of skins for SquirrelMail... the entire set was about $300. I'm trying to track down the site but seem to have deleted the message I'd carefully been keeping. I recall an off-topic discussion along these lines here recently, but

How do we avoid this when we are likely to have several thousand concurrent IMAP sessions per server machine? With many thanks for your time and advice...

Just a note to people if you're wondering why I'm not replying to most of my mails: I'm trying to get into university to start stydying cellular biology (so I'm applying to biochemistry and biotechnology). Their entrance exams are next wednesday, so I'm trying to use most of my time left to study for them (and also do some work..). I don't know much about the subject, so I

Hello, I have a Soekris net4501, which I'm PXE booting using pxelinux. Everything seems to be working splendidly, except for the fact that I can't seem to make pxelinux understand use the net4501's serial console port correctly. The net4501 uses the serial console as its primary interface; I'm using a null modem cable and minicom to operate with it. At boot, its startup

Greetings - I'm having trouble working out where to alter this behaviour (so please forgive me if it turns out to be an Exim thing rather than Dovecot!)... My test service is using Exim as the MTA and Dovecot's "deliver" for the LDA. We are using Maildir mailboxes with filestore quotas. When I send a large test message to myself that cannot be delivered because I

Greetings - I'm finalising the layout of our new mailstore ready for a trial service using Dovecot (switching from the UW IMAP server). This is using Maildir mailboxes, changing from our current mix of MBX and traditional Berkeley. One of the things we are often asked for is how someone can grant another access to their mailbox: eg, a Head of Department wants the Departmental

Greetings - I'm now in the last couple of weeks before going live with Dovecot (v1.0.3) on our revamped IMAP service. I'd like to double-check about the best mount options to use; could someone advise, please? I have three separate directory trees for the message store, the control files and the index files. These are arranged as follows: Message Store Mounted over NFS from
