Hello, I'm configurating dovecot 1.0.3 on debian etch. While trying to set public folders, y decided to have the index and control files on the users homes. those homes are mounted by nfs, with disabled access to root. In that scenario, I'm getting the errors i transcribe next: Aug 16 11:21:17 server dovecot: IMAP(user):

Hi All, I've got a samba/cups pdf writer going thanks to PeteFwee and Wolfram Q and a few others... the cups pdf backed i used has a default of username-date.pdf which I didn't like and wanted the name of the job that got send in the printer q on the winslows client. The only way I could see in my very limited experience was to grab the %%Title out of the postscript file and make sure

Hello, With my configuration Dovecot creates multiple duplicates (sometimes 2, sometimes 3, sometimes a plenty) of mailfiles when moving them into the Sent or the Trash folders. This does not affect the Inbox folder. I observed this while using Thunderbird on Ubuntu as a client as well as K9-Mail on Android, therefore I expect this comes from the Dovecot server and not from the client itself. It also appears that the...

Good day! is there an easy way to restore e.g. deleted mails and/or mail directories? let me specify: I'm running dovecot 1.2.9 on a current ubuntu lts. It is set to Maildir and I backup the folder with the users maildata nightly via rsync. now, when someone deletes a mail that they still need, and I copy it back from the backup, it will not be visible to mail clients. When I change the

Hi all, I've got a nice working pdf samba printer emailing the right person thanks to PeteFwee and David F and am doing a little testing. I've just realized that it's set to Letter when it creates the .pdf file. and i've googled till i'm blue in the face and can't see any options that says page size or something similar. i'm running ghostscript 7.04. does anybody

Thinking about going from mbox to maildir. Started with mbox way back when but thinking about making the conversion. The main reason is that I use rsync for backups and when these huge mailboxes are touched I have to copy the whole thing. With maildir I only copy the files that change. So - my questions is - what's the easiest way to make this happan. I assume there are conversion

I enabled zlib compression, so new mails are saved compressed. Now I want to convert the old mails to gzip with the find and gzip command, but now I don't know which files are already gzip compressed by dovecot. Shouldn't zlib_save itself add Z to the Maildir flags? As suggested in the compress guide on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib ? -- Tom

Anybody finding a huge mailfile named webmaster in their mqueue? I'm wondering what/how this gets there? Just found one on one server that was over 2 gigs! Yuck!!! So far, this has been on CentOS 3 machines using sendmail. Best, John Hinton

Hi all, I have just installed dovecot on my Fedora Core 2 box. I would like to use it only for reading archived email from within my Mozilla 1.7.3. I syminked my old opera-files (*.mbs whoch seems to be same as mbox) into ~/mail. Seems to work fine, mostly I can open the mailfiles - sometimes it hangs with the following error: The current command did not succeed. The mailserver responded: Error in IMAP command GETACL: Unknown command.. And then: The current command did not succeed. The mailserver responded: Error in IMAP command MYRIGHTS: Unknown command.. ALthough I...

...(manpage is good) but I need to ask what will be the fstest possible way to copy over the data from one machine to the other I have setup two gigabit ethernet cards with a crosover cable and used a private ip address range (10.0.0.1) between them so security is not an issue. I have about 80 000 mailfiles giving a total of about 50Gigs, obviousely downtime has to be kept to a minnimum. Tx all Mozzi -- _ ( ) Ascii ribbon campaign against html email X / \

Greetings; Trying to follow along with the wiki2 setup instructions and thought I'd hit a snag with the first "send me a mail" snippet as it took several minutes to arrive, so I assume that somehow procmail was involved in the delivery and my procmail runs mail thought a whole bunch of checks before finally handing it off to a mailfile as /var/mail/gene. Then the next script

I am a bit at a loss here with Sieve (pigeonhole) and the spamtest extension. I am using Dovecot 2.1.7 (backported to Debian squeeze), which comes with Pigeonhole 0.3.0. Messages are scanned with SpamAssassin, which adds a header like X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=84.6 required=5.0 tests=? and so I configured spamtest in conf.d/90-plugin.conf like so: sieve_spamtest_status_type = score

Hi, I'm migrating from a Cyrus to a Dovecot installation right now. As part of it I've got plain Cyrus mailboxes (w/o real metadata; so to say I've got the /var/spool/imap/user part but not the /var/lib/imap/user one)). Those former mailboxes I want to provide under a public namespace via ACLs. The question I cannot answer right now is: How can I convert these plain mailboxes on a FS

Hi, we run a RHEL4 E-Mail-Server with dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1. we use mbox and most users use imap. So I have set quota for the devices where the user mailfiles are saved. No I'm getting the situation, that users exide there quota but yet not the grace limit and the user isn't able to delete messages. e.g. the the soft limit is 100 MB, the hard limit is 110 MB. So there should be some space to delete unneeded emails. Am i thinking the wrong wa...

Hi to all. I'm making a samba PDC and I want that accounts and the mails that every user have in Outlook Express will be saved on the server, so that in every computer in the domain the user can have his mails... How to make it? Probably it's not the correct place in which make the question but maybe someone know the answer! Thanks to all

Hello, I use Dovecot for rather long time, but I'm still in doubt for some small things. Here they are: 1. The homedir value points to the place where everything for the user stored at, while mail_location is something (some place) where mail stored at. if I deal with pure virtual users (all users are in sql tables and no system homes for them at all), should I ever care for returning

Hello all! I am using a dovecot-server since several weeks - and am really impressed about this server (after using courier and cyrus). I tried to install the sieve-plugin now (CentOS RPM) and configured sieve like described in your WIKI (and on several other pages). Unfortunately I can not connect to port 2000 (sieve-administration?!) nor are there any messages regarding sieve in the logs.

Hi, faced with a current space problem on our dovecot 2.2.18 server, I thought about using the zlib plugin. My questions: - is it really as simple as adding the options to the conf files as described in the docs :) ? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib - As this just compresses new messages; dose anybody has a sort of simple cron or whatever script or best practice how to compress existing

I currently have a basic script to process some mails, it runs from cron every 10 minutes, basically, sieve copies some mails to subfolder on mail arrival, script fetches mails if any from this subfolder then processes these mail, get maybe 1 or 2 or often none but cron runs the script every 10 minutes, most times not needed as nothing is retrieved it's pretty crude - but works getmail
