Good day, all, I've gleaned that dovecot has support for verifying SSL client certs on connect. What IMAP clients have people found that support sending a specific SSL cert? I can't find this feature in Thunderbird, at least. Thanks, Peter

I've read the client ssl cert section in the wiki and it talks about using a self signed cert, if I am using a commercial cert, in this case godaddy, how do I implement a self signed cert for the client side and have dovecot make use of this? I know the mechanics of setting up the self signed ca, the question is more what configuration changes do I need to make in dovecot to handle both

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.0-b8. We use a shared 'support' account for incoming support mail. For security reasons we want to instead have everyone with their own account, accessing a shared 'support' folder. So I've configured dovecot with a public 'Support' namespace: default_mail_env = maildir:/imap/mailboxes/%u namespace private { separator = / prefix =

...encrypted connections only? For unencrypted connections there can't be any client certificate, and I can't disable unencrypted connections altogether (I limit them by firewall to our own network).

...r POP3 is not necessary. Is any of this possible with dovecot? Or another way to achieve my goal? Non-plaintext authentication is not possible, as we use linux system accounts with shadow passwords.

Hi, Dovecot 1.0 beta7 is dying on me. My logfile shows: May 10 15:54:28 hermes dovecot: IMAP(alden): UIDs broken with partial sync in mbox file /var/mail/alden May 10 15:54:28 hermes dovecot: IMAP(alden): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 106 (mbox_sync_headers_add_space): assertion failed: (start_pos < data_size) May 10 15:54:28 hermes dovecot: child 14185 (imap) killed with signal 6 I'm

...is issue is peripherally related to the following thread Re: [Dovecot] client certs with godaddy ssl cert This is running on CentOS 5.2 with latest Atrpms for Dovecot as of this weekend. # rpm -qa | grep dovecot dovecot-sieve-1.1.5-8.el5 dovecot-1.1.4-0_81.el5 With assistance from Rainer Frey (Inxmail GmbH), I am able to successfully use client ssl certs for imap access on both my Nokia e61i and Thunderbird 2.0.0.17, problem now is dovecot sasl and postfix smtp authentication. Using the same self created CA that generates and certifies the ssl client certs in Postfix and using Dovecot SASL,...

Hi, I'm a bit confused by the Wiki. Do the settings "sieve_dir" and "sieve_global_dir" belong to the lda or the plugin section (Dovecot 1.1.11)? Thanks Rainer

Hi, what is the quota plugin for deliver supposed to do when using fs quota? With IMAP, and not using noenforcing, a user that is over Soft limit can't copy mails. With deliver, the mail is delivered normally. When hard limit is exceeded, there is an error "rejected: Not enough disk space", just like when I don't use the plugin in lda. Even the lda setting

Hi, I'm wondering about the authentication listeners that dovecot uses. In many configurations I see: service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { Does any component of dovecot use this listener internally (lmtp, lda ...) and does that read the config and search for the listener, or is the exact name "auth-userdb" expected? Is this maybe dependent on the userdb? Which ones need it?

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.0.1, and I log to a custom syslog facility (local0) in the main configuration (I want a separate log file, but I want to make use of rsyslogd's capabilities). I overwrite the syslog facility for LDA (mail) to have all delivery related stuff in /var/log/mail.log, and that works fine. I tried to do the same for LMTP with protocol lmtp { syslog_facility = mail }
