...e mailbox sizes. The one I am looking at right now does have this problem (unless you pay extra). From what I have gathered now, your hints about Postfix and fetchmail are correct. The trouble is that those doc pages are not real-life, complete examples with Dovecot of the two possible ways: 1) multidrop/catch all, and 2) one mailbox per user. Yes, I should be able to piece it all together. I will probably try. I just find it surprising that there is no such a complete guide yet.

...for would be a very advanced setup > [...] I don't think so. But we'll see! I would be happy to take a pre-packaged mail server solution like iRedMail which includes RoundCube or whatever. I just need a "easy", practical guide to reconfigure it to 1) download e-mails from a multidrop, and 2) relay external e-mail to the ISP's SMTP server. Well, at least saying it like that does not sound hard. 8-) > More importantly, most ISPs are very limited in the way of support. > [...] While that assertion is generally true, most ISPs I have seen do get the basic e-mail serv...

...ning dovecot with LDAP. Each account has email in form abc at example.com, and messages are stored at /var/vmail/abc/Maildir. This is an external mail server, and I would like to use a cron job to fetch all messages to an internal server which has slow internet connection. It seems getmail supports multidrop retriever which might fit the bill. However I could not figure out how to set up an account that can be used to fetch all messages for all virtual accounts. Is it possible at all? thanks, Tony PS: here is my config: # dovecot -n # 1.1.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd6...

Hi all, Sorry if this is out of place, but I've seen people suggesting future functionality for Dovecot on here before. TBH I'm not completely sure if this would be possible in a LDA. Demon (an ISP) have extensions to POP3 they call "SDPS" - there's basically an extra command that can be called for an email and it gives the envelope rcpt and from addresses. I was

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 pass...

...o leverage. You may not even be able to change provider so easily. Besides, the way you suggest means opening a SMTP port to the outside world. A security risk and more work at the firewall etc. From what I gathered to date, there should be nothing wrong with collecting e-mails from a catch-all/multidrop POP3/IMAP4 mailbox, so I will carry on pursuing this method. Regards, rdiez

...w about the next one? 4) Of course I can filter my provider's IP in some Linux firewall. But then the provider will change its setup and won't tell me. Or I will not have time to modify the configuration. Or the next person will not have time just this week. 5) There is really no need. A multidrop / "catch all" mailbox should work fine. And it is a pretty standard feature in all ISPs I know of. Many people are using this kind of setup. It's only that it is hard to learn, because there is no single, complete tutorial for this kind setup that I have found yet. But I am collecti...
