I'm new to Dovecot and I'm having trouble getting basic, flat file userdb lookups to work. This must have been asked before, but if so, I can't find it. I'm following the basic setup here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall with a few minor differences. Output of doveconf -n is below, as well as relevant entries from postfix main.cf and master.cf. When I send a message to a virtual user that will be handled by Dovecot, Postfix hands it off to Dovecot LDA. But I get the following error in the log: Jun 22 20:5...

Hallo I build my Installation after HowTo with Archlinux packages: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall I can send e-mail, but pop3 failed: "unknown user" For good popularity needed one or more 100% complete howto step-by-step reusable for full folk.

...cate with the SMTP server. The error I receive says that "The SMTP server doesn't support SSL (TLS) on port 465" -- yet, I've installed SSL. Is there any good way to test or debug this? Setup: * SSL * Dovecot SASL * Dovecot LDA * Virtual Users (http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall) Client SMTP Setup: * Use SSL * Port: 465 * Authentication: Password By the way, I followed these instructions: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall Dovecot version: 1.0.13 (from source) Postfix version: 2.5.1 (from source) OS: Fedora Core 4 Here's are my config files: DOV...

I followed the dovecot instructions ( http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall) to create a simple virtual user installation with the /etc/dovecot/passwd file. However, whenever I try to send a message to the virtual user, Postfix has a problem delivering it. Postfix is delivering messages to ~/Maildir, but Dovecot is trying to use /home/vmail/. How can I get the 2 apps to...

.../etc/dovecot/users correspondingly to user at privustech.com :{plain}actualpassword: 1000:12 ::/var/mail/vhosts/privustech.com/user now allows a normal login. and we can create a new folder (e.g., work) and delete it. However, this is at variance with http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall which says to set the ownership to vmail:vmail ($UID:$GID = 100: 5000). Doing so breaks dovecot. 2. The various links suggest that having virtual users is preferable to setting system users. The former do not require directories under /homebut they do require a directory in the mail system, which...

I've tried to setup Postfix to use SASL, but it still doesn't seem to be working with Dovecot. I've set things up based on these instructions: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA I've compiled Postfix with Dovecot SASL and SSL/TLS support. The problems I'm seeing in Postfix are: * Virtual users are not being recognized (it'll only delivers mail for local users) * For mail it doe...

...s to set up home directory The home directory is the same as the mail directory. If for example home=/var/vmail/domain/user/ mail=/var/vmail/domain/user/mail/, set: mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail I think I've done it so. And yet, here http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall it is written Users can be added by editing this file. Dovecot automatically notices the new users immediately after they're added. It also creates their home directories when the user logs in. However, the directory is not created. My config: # dovecot -n # 2.2.4: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf...

Hi, I'm setting up dovecot pop3 deamon for a small set of mailbox. I want to be able to set a small set of mailbox simply, so I've used "passdb passwd-file" + virtual mailboxes with "userdb static". My problem is that it seems that postfix accept and create mailbox for every address I post. It is configured to use local delivery through dovecot's deliver. How

I need to implement quota. I read as much as I could including http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall But my current /etc/passwd file does not have the password in it as shown in dovecot docs ... there is an x where the password should be. I created a program that creates a passwd file in the proper format with the proper extra quota fields for all users (except it has an x where the password sh...

...t sure if this is so much a Dovecot problem, as much of a Sendmail problem. I thought this would probably be a better list to start with, though. If not, please let me know. I initially used this Dovecot wiki page to approach this: Simple Virtual User Installation http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall I had to make few minor changes, but I don't think anything significant to the problem I'm having. I can log into SquirrelMail with both virtual users, and with system users. I can send mail to system users from both virtual and system users. I can see the mail that I sent in the Sent M...
