So here goes what I have tried so far: Take a case of one username, eddie, who belongs to the domain, demo.wananchi.com. 1. This query is what I am using for password_query. I do suspect it is wrong, but well, this is what it yields from the current DB: mysql> SELECT CONCAT(domain.path, '/', popbox.mbox_name), popbox.password_hash FROM popbox, domain WHERE popbox.local_part = 'eddie' AND...

Hi All, I'm currently doing nightly full backups of /home. I'm not sure if a full back up is the best way to do backups. I know with my fileserver i do weekly full backup and daily incremental which would file on those type of files. I guess my question to the group is, how do you guys backup Maildir? whats the best way of doing it? -- Gabe Granger Pancentric results-driven

When I attempted to import my Contacts list into dovecot, my mail client told me that the IMAP server did not support "Special" folders. Is there a way to to do the contacts, or sync up Contacts & Calendar from a database or something else? I'm using both Thunderbird and Outlook.

I have seen a few suggestions on how to address the issue of a system employing both real and virtual users and domains. Is there any definitive solution as to how this should be accomplished? The system I am construction will have several hundred users, both real and virtual, and probably seven domains. I plan on using MySQL to handle the user names and passwords. -- Gerard "Seen it

Hello, I would like to set up a POP account which also forwards email elsewhere. In qmail for example it is easy to set up by creating a dot qmail file inside the users mailbox. How can this be done with Postfix? For awareness I'm using Postfix + Dovecot for POP3 authentication. Thanks, Duncan

I tried RC16 from RC7 and like other releases since RC7 it is significantly slower. I'm still trying to figure out why. But I have again switched back. Do new version take up a lot more ram perhaps? I'm running with a gig of ram, and I'm running a few other apps. It's not a fast computer, just an old 754 pin semptron. But the point is that RC7 runs a lot faster than RC16.

I haven't tried this yet; however, I would like to know if it would work. Using Postfix, I am setting up numerous virtual users. These users obviously do not have an account on the mail server. I have created a "domain.net" account. Assuming that Postfix is properly set up to deliver to the specified accounts, which will be held under the "domain.net" directory, will this

Hi all, How do I get to previous versions of the dovecot source code? I wanted to download dovecot-1.0.beta7, but can't find it via the web, only the latest version (beta8). It's probably obvious how to do this...but I'm not seeing it. Thanks much! Jackie ---- Jackie Hunt ACNS Voice: (970)

...restricting users by IP, I believe that is a bad idea. It's almost a useless idea, imnsho, because they can connect from another IP.
