Hi there, i'm trying to get dovecot, procmail, postfix & SpamAssassin working together http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=441062 But i'm not having a lot of luck, a question about dovecot, what kind of mail box am i using? mbox? if so does anyone know if procmail can use mbox? /etc/dovecot.conf protocols = imap pop3 imap_listen = [::] pop3_listen = [::]

I've recently installed dovecot (0.99.8.1) from the Debian/woody backport at 'deb http://src.braincells.com/debian woody/' Previously, all mail have been delivered to mbox'es in ~/Mail by exim/procmail -- ~/Mail/inbox being my main mailbox. Whenever I attempt to connect with an IMAP client, the connection is closed and the following error is reported in /var/log/syslog:

I've setup dovecot to authenticate against postgresql. But I consistently get a "No INBOX for user" error when I try to do pop requests. Any pointers would be helpful. Postfix deposits mails in maildirs in the format /var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/{domain}/{username}/ below is the result of a telnet test (altered slightly of course, but gives the idea) telnet localhost 110 Trying

Hi, I am attempting to get dovecot up and running on FreeBSD 4.9..... Tried with the default config file and my own one (below) but when trying to login I get the following: Feb 10 17:59:53 cobain dovecot-auth: passwd(jamie): invalid password field '*' It seems like it is trying to read straight from /etc/passwd? I thought it called getpw(). Is this a common error and could anyone shed

I have dovecot-0.99.11-1FC3.4. I use Pine on the server and Outlook 2003 on remote computers to access IMAP and POP3 to access via my blackberry 7100t. It seems that after using IMAP and then going back to pine it somehow refreshes everything and all the messages are picked up on my blackberry once again as if the emails are new. So everything that is in my inbox is now pushed or grabbed

Hi everybody, I have been long (for 2 days) trying, but I really need some help. I would like to use virtual static users. I configured my file as indicated in the documentation and then I created the following directory, with the needed rights (mail account) and leave them empty : /var/mail/virtual/<mon_domaine>.fr/toto/ I am not sure that it is the good method, but I understand it

Hi, I'm getting 'no inbox for user' error. Set up sendmail, and can send and receive mail using Webmin/Usermin both to internal addresses and external ones. But Dovecot gives the no inbox error.

Hi, I use dovecot (pop) with gentoo but it's not securize. I would like to use pops but i don't how to do this. I think i have to use certificates...

Hi, Busy with dovecot on a linux server with not very much RAM in it (512 MB max total). On this server dovecot will only handle about 12 users, with never more than 3 IMAP webmail users at a time, and a maximum of 2 POP3 users at a time using it. I'm going all secure later on, but first I would like your opinion on what configuration best to use with, say, max 5 users busy at one time, and

I successfully installed dovecot 0.99.10 on a fedora box using postfix 2.0.11 and when I try to connect using my mozilla mail client I get the following error in the maillog...

I just set up dovecot on fedora core 3 with only pop3s protocol enabled. On my client machine, I use fetchmail to get the mail and then go through procmail and eventually ready by mutt. Everything seems to work fine, except that all new emails are marked old unread emails (i.e., marked with 'O' flag instead of 'N'). This is annoying because some open source lists are so large

FreeBSD 5.2.1 Upgraded to dovecot 0.99.12.1 After authentication failed, I also upgraded OpenLDAP to 2.2.19 Dovecot and OpenLDAP are now the most recent versions in the ports. I can access the LDAP info through the OpenLDAP client without a problem, so slapd seems to be working fine. Both dovecot and OpenLDAP worked fine before the upgrade. Any help will be appreciated, since several people

I am trying to set up Dovecot so that it uses LDAP, but I keep getting this error message in /var/log/syslog: Dec 12 03:38:17 mydomain dovecot-auth: LDAP: ldap_search() failed (filter user_filter = (mail=user at mydomain.tld)): Bad search filter Relevant configuration files: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf: hosts = localhost dn = cn=dovecot,ou=sysAccounts,dc=mydomain,dc=tld dnpass = password

Hi folks. New to both dovecot and openldap. Trying to set up virtual domains using the wanderingbarque howto: http://www.wanderingbarque.com/mailserver.html Platform is RH enterprise 3. Only difference is I'm trying to use phamm instead of jamm: http://phamm.rhx.it/ dovecot doesn't seem to want to play nice with my openldap; everything else (postfix, etc) seems to work alright.

Hi Friends, I'm running postfix 2.2.10, dovecot-0.99.11 and openldap -2.2.13 in my organization. Here, all my postfix, dovecot, saslauthd, depends on ldap only. Means ldap is acting as a centralized database for user information. In this picture everything is working fine except user login to dovecot for downloading their mails. Actually they can't able to login to the server from

hi I have dovecot (1.0.alpha4-1) installed on a Debian sid amd64 machine (dovecot-imapd and dovecot-common). I am using this so that I can use both Mutt and something like Thunderbird to access my local Maildir folders. Sometimes it works fine. Sometimes when I try to access my mailboxes locally using Mutt, it hangs for a very long time (the bottom of the screen says "Selecting in..."
