Hi all For various reasons I was looking into 2.6, so I installed a copy on my desktop. Everything works fine, except for dovecot - errors such as this appeared in the syslog: Jul 15 14:41:09 typhaon dovecot: Dovecot starting up Jul 15 14:41:12 typhaon imap-login: setuid(113) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable Jul 15 14:41:12 typhaon dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down I

Dear list, I have a small issue with dovecot talking to a postgresql server: If my postgres server get restarted, dovecot fails to reconnect to the postgres server. I run dovecot 0.99.9.1 (which is actually a cvs version of dovecot, of may 9 2003) I have the same postgres version for the server as I use for the libraries. Is it hard to get auto-reconnect to work? Kind regards, Maikel

Hi, just started using dovecot on FreeBSD. Nice and easy to configure :-) I then wanted to browse the dovecot mailing list, so, according to http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/mailinglists.html: IMAP archives available from dovecot.procontrol.fi, either use ANONYMOUS authentication or give anonymous as username and empty password. I was using a patched sylpheed that doesn't support

Hi List! I read a post about moving a .mailbixlist to a .subscriptionfile when a user did not have one, but did have a .mailboxlist file. Timo emailed a module for that purpose, so it could be done for this user. My question is: - Where and how does dovecot call this function? - Would it be easy to use a module to a) create a mailpath (can be done as the mailuser's id, I use one uid, and my

Hi list, I am trying to build an email system that is using multiple frontends, to a clustered backend using nfs. The backend mounts his filesystems from a central storage, and will be running active-active. While reading through the dovecot documentation, I read that I could do without indexes (well: use memory indexes), and could then be able to run dovecot over NFS. Well: that was until

Timo- Thanks for all the help. After I changed the permissions to the virtual user I setup I had a few small issues but was able to work through them. Now IMAP is running great. But my new question is, do I need to do anything to get it to work with POP? My server refuses to respond on 110 and I'm wondering if there is something I need to do? I was under the impression that Dovecot can

Hi list! Since a week I am testing with dovecot, and I must say, I like it a lot :) Keep up the good work :) I do have one questing regarding dovecot: If I login to a mailbox, and the mailbox does NOT exist, and the parent directory does not exist either, I will get disconnected, and dovecot claims it cannot create the directory. (eg: my user blah at test.com has mail directory

Hi List, While (bluntly) testing the prerelease version of dovecot on our mailfarm (just for the webmail imap) we noticed some small problems: - While our OLD dovecot/imap drove the load to a maximum of 1 over a day after running, the new dovecot/imap pushes it easily to 20. This is mainly due to a LOT more disk activity. This is probably caused by the fact we a) use indexes on disk and

Hi, I've been trying to get in touch with someone to discuss a problem with Samba that I've been experiencing. I can reproduce the bug on the systems for which I am responsible, and am interested to know whether it is a local problem or a genuine bug. (I have searched the archives, updated to the latest Samba release and read the docs :) I posted to this list and have had no replies -

I am using Dovecot to provide IMAP and IMAP+SSL service for my users, but am still using QPopper for POP3 service, wrapped with stunnel for POP3+SSL. I am hesitant to get rid of QPopper because it supports APOP, which encrypts authentication data (both where it is stored, and when it is transmitted), and because APOP passwords can be managed by the users themselves, via the popauth tool that they

Hi, (I'm reposting this because I was asked to by a subscriber :) I believe I've found a problem that we can reproduce using the latest samba release (2.0.6). It is fairly hard to describe accurately but I will do my best. The bug is present if deleting from a smbmounted point under Linux or from Windows 98 through "Network Neighborhood." All of the users involved are in the

No bug reports since rc4, so here it is. v0.99.10 2003-06-26 Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi> * Default PAM service name changed to "dovecot". This means that if you're using PAM, you most likely have to do mv /etc/pam.d/imap /etc/pam.d/dovecot If you wish to keep using imap, see doc/auth.txt. * ~/rawlog directory changed to ~/dovecot.rawlog + Faster and better

My dovecot is from cvs, updated yesterday, and running on Redhat 7.3 (if that matters). Here is my dovecot-pgsql.conf: --8<-- # # Postgress connect string. Similar to PHP

http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/test/ Maildir syncing now works pretty much as described in my earlier mail. It was quite a large change, so please test this :) So the new and great features: - It's faster. - If someone renames maildir file just before we try to use it, we now resync the maildir and try to find it again. Before we just failed. It's also possible that the filename changed

Hi List, When I try to set the default_pass_scheme in dovecot-pgsql.conf to CRYPT, the dovecot does not recognize my crypted passwords. If I prepend my encrypted passwords with {CRYPT}, dovecot DOES recognize it. (even when I set default_pass_scheme to PLAIN). Is this supposed to work, or am I misinterpreting things here? Thank you!

As the freeze for Debian sarge slowly approaches I want to make sure the Dovecot packages are in as good condition as possible. I see there have been a number of patches since 0.99.10. I have added the following patches: * segfault when user home directory is empty * Proper PAM service name * Make suid work on 2.6 kernels Any other patches thatI ought to add. Or better yet, will there be a

Hi, I'm working for a company that has many users using samba and Red Hat Linux 6.1. We've found a problem that we can reproduce using the latest samba release (2.0.6). It is fairly hard to describe accurately but I will do my best. All of the users involved are in the group 'ihgtech'. The problem involves recursive deletion of directories owned by another user and the group

Greetings, I recently rolled out Dovecot in our small (<30 people) company, and have been mightily impressed by the quality, performance and ease of use. I was hoping to use the new versions soon, as I'd like to start using CRAM-MD5 (much more common in mail clients than DIGEST-MD5), but found the 0.99.11 versions too unstable. So, I tried to build last nights CVS snapshot (May
