Hi, I've just noticed something strange in dovecot 0.99.10.5. I created some IMAP folders from the command line (mkdir .INBOX.Folder1) as a different user to the owner of the mailbox. Obviously when I tried to view them via IMAP I got an error message, but the message to the client was "internal error[date time]" where date and time appeared to be the current date and time. Is

...believe if your samba server is a member in one of the workgroups and there is a trust relationship between it and the other workgroup then you can configure samba to allow from the other workgroup in effect serving both workgroups.

Hello All, I recently upgraded to Redhat AS3 from an older 7.3 installation. With samba 3 (3.0.2-6.3E is the rpm version), I've been seeing activity that wasn't present before. Every 15 minutes (within a few seconds accuracy), I receive an alert from our SonicWall (firewall appliance) reporting that a "Malformed IP packet dropped." where the source was the upgraded server, and

You're kinda confusing things there. A single physical network could span multiple IP networks, and a single IP network doesn't have to be restricted to one physical network. Do you mean that you want to use a single server to serve to two separate workgroups both of which are using the same physical hardware and IP network? If so, then I don't believe so, but I could be wrong.

ARGH! I'm wondering if airing thoughts about VFAT performance publicly was a good idea. I was only interested from a technical point of view - I would NOT recommend using it on a production server unless there happened to be a real case for using it. The biggest thing to bear in mind in your case is that VFAT does NOT support ACLs or disk quotas. It also doesn't support journalling and

Hi all, This is probably a silly question, but is there an easy way to get the dovecot executable to report it's version number?

Hi all, I'm going to be out of office for the next week (starting in the next hour or so) and I need to unsubscribe (I'm sure you don't want my out of office replies really) Can anyone help me by saving me the time it'll take to lookup the unsubscribe/resubscribe details?

Automated update system supplied with Fedora. Kinda like the RHN, but free and more up to date version-wise, but without the package checking done by Redhat. If you're running Fedora and it's installed, typing "yum update <package name>" will update a package to the latest version on your downloads site (it defaults to download.fedora.redhat.com), yum install <package

Hi all, I've got a setup with a single UPS serving three servers. The main server is a Windows box and there is also a Linux mail server. The UPS is a APC SmartUPS connected to the main Windows box. The software we're using on the Windows machine will not shut down the Linux box when there's a power outage. Not a problem as all the clients would already be disconnected and I'm

Hi all, I was wondering if the above was possible. I know that the "seen" flag is stored in the filename, but was wondering if anyone knew of a way to separate it out? I know this would strictly-speaking break maildir compatibility, but it would be extremely useful for shared folders. I've been given the task of replacing the (extremely heavily used) shared folders functionality

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone's seen anything like this?

Hi all, My appologies if this has been addressed before, but I've been searching the list archives and can only find people reporting having the problem, not a solution. I have found a solution for my own situation and I thought I'd share it in case it can help anyone else. BACKGROUND ========== I'm running Samba 3 on Fedora Core 2. I've kept the machine up to date with

Hi all, I've got a few users I'm trying to migrate from a Mercury Mail server to a dovecot IMAP/POP3 setup. I was hoping to use some sort of imap-copy type script to move email from the Mercury server to dovecot server, but the Mercury box is running so slow it's impossible. Mercury stores mail in a similar way to Maildirs, different folders with separate files for each mail, stored

Hi all, I'm trying to make a script that will shut down a couple of Windows boxes from a Linux machine with Samba. If I use "net rpc shutdown -I <windows-ip> -U administrator" it works fine, except that I get prompted for the password. After looking through "man net" I can't seem to find a way to include the password (I tried "-U

Hi all, This is probably a silly question, but I have a problem. I've had to move my users maildirs from: maildir:/home/%u/.Maildir To maildir:/data/mail/%u I've updated the MTA to put mail to the correct place and it's working fine. I've also changed the dovecot.conf file and restarted dovecot and I thought that would be all I needed to do. However, the users are getting

Hi all, I'm trying to replace the "Public Folders" functionality in Exchange server. At first I thought it'd be something easily do-able with an IMAP server so I immediately thought of Dovecot. I setup what I though would work and things started to go a little screwy with subscription settings and the like. I started off by making a public maildir folder (in

Heh heh heh. Whoops. I've spent a few hours digging around in the source and nearly posted a kludge of a patch I'd written to give a kind of half-baked attempt at getting group-usable subscriptions files. Then I came across something in the source........ In the config file, do something like the following: namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location =

Hi everyone, I'm about to install a Samba PDC in a network that previously was working as a workgroup. All the users have been logging into their local machines as "administrator" and all with the same password. What I would really like to do is to move their profiles with them, but as they are all using the same username and the like I can see this is going to cause problems. So
