...e the advantages of an IMAP-Server (Access to mails from different computers, Simply changing the mail client). I decided to use dovecot, because I very often have read (in the web) that it should be more simple to configure than other servers. Now I have the following question: I want to use getmail to retrieve mails from my provider's pop3-server. I do have a dial-up-connection that is not online permanently (I do not have a flat rate). I could start a script on ppp's ip-up that periodically invokes getmail and on ip-down to kill it again. But I would prefer to invoke getmail only...

Hello, my first post in this list. Hope it's the right place.:-) I'm having a problem running getmail together with Dovecot LDA for virtual users. To achive this I let getmail run under the user that owns the virtual email accounts-root. The problem is that getmail is running under the user vmail and therefore the emails received will be put into vmail's mailbox. But the emails getmail collecte...

Hi there, I put together a mail server with postfix+dovecot+mysql with virtual users and it works just fine as internal mail server, but when i put ir under a multidrop email server it sends ok but so far coulnd make getmail to deliver mails correctly. the use of getmail + dovecot downloads email via pop3 but then put all the emails in the same inbox. my maildir is /var/vmail/[domain] getmalirc conf is [retriever]type = MultidropPOP3Retriver server username password envelope_recipient = delivered-to:1 [destination]...

Hello everyone, I'm using getmail to fetch some external mails from POP3 into a dovecot mailbox (providing IMAP). Getmail seems to have some serious problems keeping track of mails already fetched. I have every Mail exactly twice in my Mailbox delivered by Dovecot. Of course they are not in the original external POP3 Inbox. I hope...

hello, do you mind if I ask before I start poking about ? suddenly I notice that gmail is ignoring or because there is an error getmail is not sending the delete request. Mails are sent and received but not deleted gmail so I keep getting them. mick at rapunzel:~/.getmail$ getmail --rcfile getmailrc1 Delivery error (command deliver 1363 wrote to stderr: lda(mick,)Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot//stats-writer) failed: Pe...

Hello, I'm stuck with receiving an encrypted email from IMAP server. My getmail configuration is (getmail --dump): getmail configuration: ? getmail version 5.6 ?

I'm trying to setup a personal "mailmover" where I use getmail to retrieve remote IMAP server mail and load it into my local Dovecot then filter all email on the Dovecot server side with sieve. (I'm using Dovecot v. 2.0.9 with IMAP/Maildir.) 1) From the docs I gather that Dovecot sieve will not work as mail is loaded by getmail and I need to refilter the...

Hi, I'm currently running getmail in a cron job every 2 minutes, so I was quite intrigued by this on the wiki: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/TriggerGetmailOnIMAPAccess Thing is - I couldn't see how it would work and, when I tried it, it didn't work (at least not for me). It details using incrontab to monitor /home/use...

Hello list, a quick question: can I use Dovecot's LDA "deliver" as a destination in Getmail? I.e.: [destination] type = MDA_external path = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver arguments = ("-d", "username",) Or is deliver not supposed to be called this way? What I'd like to do is use deliver in the same way I would have used procmail ages ago. Getmail retrieves...

Just re-tried this, and it doesn't seem to fire getmail on access for me. My incrontab is as follows: /home/user/Maildir/cur/ IN_ALL_EVENTS,IN_ONESHOT /home/user/bin/mvmail.sh The incrontab rule does work, but only if I make a physical change in /home/user/Maildir/cur/ e.g. by moving a mail from another folder in there. Just accessing the particular...

I have dovecot (with squirrel mail etc.) running without any problems but cannot understand how to get e-mail from a pop server into dovecot. I have fetchmail configured to pick up the mail from the pop3 server but don't understand how to get it from there into my dovecot mbox structure. New to mail servers! Thanks, Michael.

Hello Joseph, thanks for your reply. > doveadm fetch -u my-mailbox at domain.net 'guid hdr.message-id' ... > > You're on your own for everything else. That works and I may be can make it work with that using a shell-script interacting with getmail as Filter. But indeed it's fetching ALL message-ids. It would be perfect if I could make search query on 'guid hdr.message-id' to get only a result (or none) if there is a message matching the message-id. I've tried to adopt your suggestion into a doveadm query, but it's not wo...

Hi I'm changing from fetchmail to getmail, in order to fetch my mail from several mail servers and deliver it to my local dovecot server. Fetchmail supports LMTP, getmail doesn't. So I'm making getmail call dovecot-lda for delivering the mail. But now, the incoming mail doesn't get filtered through sieve any longer. However, t...

...to set up an IMAP server to store my emails instead of just storing them on my local hard disk really. Now so far Ive set up Dovecot and Its working fine, but How would I get my email accounts mail to be placed in the Inbox of my IMAP account? I'm think I would need to use either fetchmail or getmail to grab my mail. After that do these programs just save it in the appropriate IMAP folder on disk (which would be new?) or do I need a MTA such as qmail setup and fetchmail or getmail passes the email to the MTA which just transfers it locally on the same computer? So any help would be greatly ap...

I'm trying to phase out procmail and move to dovecot-sieve instead. It ain't proving easy. I'll describe my setup: - Centos 5.2 box with dovecot 1.1.4 and dovecot-sieve 1.1.6 from ATrpms. - A single user account is used to store all our email (the account is called maildb). - Getmail is being used to fetch the email from various ISP mailboxes. I want to deliver mail to different folders in maildb's Maildir/ depending on who the email is addressed to (the procmail recipes currently do that). - Getmail destination section looks like this: [destination] type = MDA_e...

Hello, I've got a dovecot setup with virtual users coming from a MySQL database. The only system user I have is the vmail owner of the email store. What i'd like to do is use the program getmail to back up my gmail account and place that in my user's virtual mail store. I'm having issues making the configuration file and where to put it. Should it go in the virtual user's home directory or somewhere else and run by which user root or the vmail user? If anyone has this working...

...5%)should be able to send mail to external network! These users have the same username on myco.com. I use smtp_generic_maps to map int username of these users to ext. one. For eg. All email send by test at local.myco.com map to test at myco.com. So anyone got these mails can reply them. I know that getmail is the tools that can get mails from users external mailbox and put them into int. mailbox. 1. I have a root access to ext mail server. But do not know my ext user password!. How can I use getmail to move ext mail to internal one?! 2. What is your idea about syncing users password in internal/exte...

Hello, I've got a problem fetching my emails using getmail. First question is, of course, what's causing the problems. I'm going to think that getmail get's an error code from dovecot when trying to connect and just signals the most common error, so it seems to be a problem with dovecot. Sorry but I cannot upload any files with the silly web i...
