I use IMAP over SSH, in pre-auth. I wanted to use dsync to offline mail to my laptop. dsync v2.1.10 would always ask for my SSH key/passphrase, ignoring ssh-agent. The culprit is the env_clean() in the stack below. Reading the source, I saw DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS. When used as follows in my script it enables dsync to find my ssh-agent: export DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS="SSH_AGENT_PID SSH_AUTH_SOCK" dsync mirror ssh imap.example.com /home/mark/opt/dovecot/bin/dsync and it now works without asking for password every time. I'm posting here so...

Hello, I noticed there are ways to instruct various dovecot processes to preserve particular environment variables. One way is to use import_environment in dovecot.conf and yet another is to export DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS variable ? both can contain space delimited list of variables to preserve. I found report that this is supposed to work for dsync: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-October/138659.html Unfortunately I can't it to work for "doveadm quota recalc". Is it supposed to work or a...

...ow (slightly sanitized for public display). Anyone have any ideas? I have tried both the Wiki-way, and this way: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-December/045139.html with identical results.

Fancy, while not fun. :-) But thanks, that does work. Doing that, n?ing over calls to strcmp, it failed: passdbs_init () at passdb.c:313 313 passdb_register_module(&passdb_ldap); (gdb) passdb_register_module (iface=0x280120) at passdb.c:33 33 old_iface = passdb_interface_find(iface->name); (gdb) passdb_interface_find (name=0x16fe60 "ldap") at passdb.c:20 20
