similar to: dovecot and virtual users

Hi! I'm looking forward to deploying dovecot as an IMAP server. I did some research into the various options and it looks like dovecot is the right daemon for me. I'll be using it with Exim. I am running a few tens of users on my server, most of them small numbers of people part of a small company, e.g. example.com. At present I have exim delivering to mbox in each virtual user's

Is it possible to have local users with mail in maildir:%h/.maildir and virutal users with mail in maildir:/home/exim/%u/.maildir I seem to have authentication working for both local users and LDAP users. But I'm getting this error trying to access a virtual users mail. Aug 17 08:12:08 hostname dovecot: IMAP(Firstname Lastname): maildir:

Hi, I'm trying to add some sanity to a badly thought out mail system that, for various reasons, cant be fixed from the bottom up at this moment in time. The system is debian sarge, exim 4.5, doing virtual domains and delivering into mboxes in /var/spool/virtual/$domain/$user , there is webmail access and this allows user to create folders in (dont shoot me!)

Hello all I'm new to dovecot (and imap in general!) having installed only only today. My current set up is exim as MTA with procmail delivering /var/spool/mail/%user (which gets nfs exported). We also have a pop3 server running as well. I'm moving to new machine and though I'd look at dovecot and squirrelmail. In /etc/dovecot.conf I'm confused by the default_mail_env, what

i'm working with exim 4.60, with mbox, and dovecot dovecot-1.0.beta7, and filesystem quotas default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail::INBOX=%h/mbox:INDEX=/tmp/%u lock_method = dotlock fcntl mbox_read_locks = dotlock fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl The home of users is /home/usuaris/user Where place dovecot the lock file?

Hi Not sure how much support you guys can offer but when I use default_mail_env = mbox:/var/spool/mail/%d/imap/%n/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n I get the login error .. Fatal: Failed to create storage with data: mbox:/var/spool/mail/DOMAIN/imap/USER/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/DOMAIN/USER It is grabbing the right values for %d and %n from the mysql query 65 Query SELECT password FROM

I was told to use dovecot because it was easier than cyrus. I just upgraded from fc1 to fc3. I am not sure what fc1 used but I think it was cyrus and it worked perfect out of the box no configurations to do. The new cyrus-imapd is not so simple so I got dovecot. I see examples saying to use mbox=~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u but when I try that I cannot map mail folders that reside

Hello all, I have a little problem. I'm trying to set up Dovecot deliver (1.0 beta 3) as the LDA for Exim4 on Ubuntu 6.06 with MBOX, and I'm running into permissions problems. Exim typically wants to run pipes as the user to whom the mail is being delivered (as per the "check_local_user"). deliver needs access to the auth socket and needs to be able to create files in /var/mail.

Hi All, We are soon to migrate our mail server from one piece of hardware to another and we would like to take this opportunity to optimize things. As a result, we would like to replace "uw-imapd" and "qpopper" with "dovecot". The version we will be installing is 1.1.13-2, as this is what is available through the latest Debian stable backports. We will also be using

I just installed Dovecot and it is working great. But I need subfolders. Does this mean I need to convert to Maildir format? I found several tools to do the conversion, but is there anything that needs to be changed in Dovecot to make the switch? Any advice appreciated. Thank you, Michael Hipp Heber Springs, AR, USA

Hey- I'm kinda new to Dovecot and I'm trying to do something and it seems I've hit a wall. I put together a server with Fedora Core 2, Exim 4.34, and Dovecot 0.99.10.6 and I need support mail for multiple domains so this is how I have my virtual setup: Virtual Aliases Files: /var/virtualdomains/$domain/etc/aliases Virtual Accounts Passwd File:

I'm afraid that I am a rookie at dovecot, and cannot seem to figure the configuration for a dual system & virtual setup. For now I am using POP3 ---only--- I've got the "system" working, but cannot figure out how to add the virtual system. The docs aren't quite clear enough for me to understand. The wiki example for dynamic passwd-file locations shows: mail_location =

Greetings: My outlook users accessing mail via dovecot's imaps have been consistantly getting locked out of their email. It happens about once a week per outlook user. It appears to happen when the are cliking on emails with attachments. When this happens, there are two imap deamons running for that user. I kill both deamons and things start working again. Squirrelmail, thunderbird and

I am trying to configure my Dovecot installation to provide Vacation/Out-of-the-office emails using the Sieve plugin. My setup is a little bit peculiar: Internet Internet | ^ V | Provider's POP3 server Provider's SMTP server |

Hi I would like to set up a local mailserver but I'm getting lost with all the available options. As I have already decided to use dovecot I hope someone here will be able to point me to the right docs/HOWTO's/... Here's my wish-list: 1) download mail from my ISP's POP3-server 2) scan with spamassassin 3) scan with ClamAV 4) filter messages (mailing lists/sender/...) 5) store

Hi, I have some problem in Dovecot authorization in Exim for outgoing SMTP. Version of Exim is 4.69 and the Exim was compiled with "AUTH_DOVECOT=yes" and "AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes". Version of Dovecot is 1.2.12. I use SSL for IMAP. Is Exim neccesary to use SSL(TLS) for authorization of outgoing SMTP? Configuration files is as follows; - Exim

Hello, I'm willing to swear that with the 0.99.10.4 Debian package in my rather extensive tests with mailbox format dovecot created not only any missing parental directories but also the INBOX file, but the later I can't prove/test now as I upgraded all respective boxes. However 0.99.10.5 will still create (if needed and possible) missing directories for mbox storage, just not an
