Hi All, Anyone know if theres a way to share a Cisco 7940 between hot-desk users? My phones get their setup via SIP .cnf files, that load at boot via tftp, so I'm assuming the configs a failry static. However if I want a phone to be hot-desked, I could have different users sitting there. Is there any concept of "logging on" in these environments? Cheers, Adrian

Switched from UW-IMAP to dovecot a little while ago. Worked through the namespace hell with current users. But now I've hit another problem I can't seem to figure out. Some webmail (squirrelmail) users noticed that when they tried to login they would jus get this error: ERROR: ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server. Query: CAPABILITY I discovered in the mail logs the real error

CentOS 6.5 Hi All: We are looking for a way to automate the handling of bounced emails. I have spend some time looking an scan find one open source package, bounceHammer, and one commercial package, BoogieTools. Does any comments on the effectiveness of either package?

Hi We have an mailserver running RedHat Linux 9.0 with UW-IMAP (imap-2001a- 18.progeny.1.src.rpm), we have user mailboxes in /var/spool/mail/username using the default mbox storage method. Some users have home directories and some dont. They only connect through the POP3 server, not IMAP. We are now migrating both hardware and software to an new server running RHEL 4, i have copied all

The parameters listed for nfs installations (mmap_disable, doctlock_use_excl, mail_nfs_storage, mail_nfs_index) - are they necessary for data integrity, and/or do they compensate for NFS latency and improve performance? My understanding is the indexes are a critical part of a dbox storage, but on the other hand having local indexes is a major performance consideration. Is maildir a

Greetings everyone, I'm new to the list as of today. I just installed Dovecot a couple of days ago for the first time, Debian Lenny Dovecot v1.0.15-2.3. So far I'm pretty impressed. I'm using mbox format with Dovecot auto-deciding to place mail in user home directories, which is great. It works very well with the Win32 Thunderbird 3 client over a small basic 100FDX switched net.

When a message is copied to a folder on dovecot with mbox storage, is the mtime of the saved mbox file set to the time of the save? Or is the mtime set to the Date: field of the source message that is saved? If there is a difference in the behaviour, do someone know the dovecot version number where the change happened? The reason I'm asking is a problem reported on the Gnus imap client in

I just installed nut in Debian and all of my files are missing. I'm not even sure what all files are required. I hope someone can give me the list of the files and I can create them. Also if there is any pertinent info I need. Thanks

I've been using Dovecot for a couple months now and am very impressed. Thanks for a great package. However, I have noticed a problem that I haven't been able to solve. When a new message comes into my inbox, the last message that was received is marked as new as well as the new one. I originally thought this was a bug in my client (mutt) but I have verified that the same thing

Hi, all. I've been so impressed with Dovecot, I'm in the process of moving my mail over to it. In fact, one of my mailboxes got SO huge, it'll likely literally take more than a day to move it all over (in excess of 19,000 mails, about 140 megabytes). So far, the IMAP server shows absolutely no sign of crapping out yet. It should also be noted that I'm moving all this mail

Hi. I recently mentioned in several posts, that I'd tended to use mbox rather than maildir, because you don't loose so much space (due to always allocating full blocks per maildir file and thus per mail). I made some tests of my archive, which consists of some 3,4 million mails at a total of 42GB). Most of these mails are probably normal sized, but there are also some with bigger

/etc/postfix/main.cf.default: mailbox_delivery_lock = flock, dotlock Is flock equivalent to dovecot's fnctl locking? For mbox what type of locking settings should I be using? (No NFS, only local filesystem.) Warren Togami warren at togami.com

I'm moving to IMAP and trying to understand all the details of where to save email. The system is CentOS running sendmail - procmail which delivers as: DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ I'm trying also to use Usermin as the webmail client. I can get mail to deliver to $HOME/Maildir/ and I can get clients (thunderbird outlook etc) to view them. However Usermin seems stuck with saving

I'm exploring adding a new storage backend to dovecot, storing mail in some sort of database, and had a few questions. Hoping someone here might be able to help :) -Is all of the 'storage' specific code in housed in lib-storage/index? Would adding a new storage backend be as simple as recreating all of the public functions of the current /mbox or /maildir code such as they pertain to

Hello, I am researching using dovecot with an SQL database as the storage backend. From what I've read, dovecot only supports mbox style file storage, but I'd like to investigate the possibility of using a database instead. According to http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2006-June/013818.html, this possibility has been explored before and has generally been accepted that Dovecot
