Hello, I want to use dovecot on my private debian/unstable-system to have 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

...and I can send emails to Postfix for the virtual user. Postfix correctly uses devlier with the name of the virtual user and so the emails are going to the correct directory. For me it seems that getmail always uses the username under which getmail is currently running. As this must be a local user, getmails always announces this local user to deliver and deliver therefore puts the emails into the wrong account. My question is: How do I let deliver know that it should use a virtual user? I tried with the -d agrument in my getmail rc File, but deliver never accepts the parameter -d (always says unknown...

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

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 I'm in right place here. I think the problem is not

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:

Hello, I'm stuck with receiving an encrypted email from IMAP server. My getmail configuration is (getmail --dump): getmail configuration: ? getmail version 5.6 ? Python version 2.7.15 (default, Jun 27 2018, 13:05:28) [GCC 8.1.1 20180531] ? retriever:? SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever(ca_certs="None", certfile="None", getmaildir="/home/peter/.getmail/",

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 email after it has been

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/username/.maildir/cur in order to trigger getmail. However,

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

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 inbox doesn't seem to trigger

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

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, this command works: sieve-filter -v -u v

Hey All, Id just like to start by thanking Timo Sirainen and any others that helped produce such a great IMAP server, it was a breeze to set up with no previous experience in mail servers. What I am trying to do is setup a spare computer to run Dovecot and that It stores all my email from my accounts which are all accessed through POP. This way instead of being tied to one mail client (and

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

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

I 'm using potfix-dovcote as an internal mail server(local.myco.com) and wan to run another potfix-dovcote as an external mail server (myco.com) on Internet.75% of my users should only work internally(no external mail) but the rest of users (25%)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

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 interface of my provider, so I cannot
