Fixed all the reported bugs. Changed PAM service to "dovecot". Anything left? http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/rc/

Hello everybody, sorry for stupid qustion, but I have following problem: I succesfully installed Dovecot on Debian (from source). Now I want to run it. I tryed: # /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot # but nothing happened: # ps -Af | grep dove ....... ps -Af | grep dove # What is wrong? I want Dovecot to serve POP3 over SSL. Many thanks and sorry again :o)

I'm trying to bring dovecot up on Debian/stable using Christof Meerwald's unofficial packages (cmeerw.org/debian/). This package seems to work fine on Debian/testing. There error I'm getting on the stable box is: gnutls_handshake: A TLS fatal alert has been received.(Bad record MAC) Any guesses? -- Jacob Elder

I upgraded dovecot two weeks ago from 0.99.10-0.rc2 to 0.99.10.4-1woody1 (both from the woody backport packages from braincells.com). Dovecot is using LDAP on a separate machine for authentication. (through stunnel if it matters) At 4:00 am, the LDAP server stops, dumps the ldap database, and then starts back up. Because the LDAP server is stopped, anyone who tries to authenticate during

I've packaged 0.99.10.4. Owing to the continued downtime on the Debian servers, I've temporarily put the .debs up on my own site. The URL is http://www.braincells.com/debian/ A backport to woody is also available. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

Hi, 0.99 is running nicely on my sarges, but I need pop3_uidl_format = %f for Courier compatibility. I can't find any debs more recent than test22 of over a year ago (those are at http://src.braincells.com/dovecot-test/). Even though google turns up http://hemma.tobbe.nu/debian/mini-dinstall/incoming/dovecot_1.0.test46-1_i386.changes searching for dovecot on packages.debian.org (any

Well, the backports.org people finally installed my backport of the latest stable version of dovecot.

TSS/Dovecot: I saw the recent change in the ChangeLog about the 'subtraction' of the listing of symlinks. The point showed(minus): - Maildir: LIST now doesn't skip symlinks Does this truly mean the functionality was removed? I'd tried doing symlink'd maildirs in 99.10.6 w/ no luck and when I saw this change I hoped this was an addition, as it would be great in lieu of

I finally got some free time and uploaded 1.0alpha4. It will arrive in the archive by tomorrow afternoon. Together with the most recent libssl0.9.8 upgrade I think this will fix the SSL problems users have been facing. -- Jaldhar H.

I thought I'd mention it here because a lot of people have been waiting for me on this. My personal situation is getting saner now so I finally was able to package up 0.99.8.1. The package for sid was uploaded last night and should appear in the archive today. A backport for woody is available from http://www.braincells.com/open/ I have not included POP3, LDAP or SASL2 support for now as I

In what must surely be the first sign of the apocalypse, Debian is actually freezing in preperation for a new release. Probably the last day for uploads will be August 17. Is there likely to be another dovecot release by then? In the event of 0.99.10.9 being the released version, are there any other patches Debian users would like me to include? -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at

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

I uploaded 0.99.10.8 to Debian but I needed the patch below to get it to compile. --- dovecot-0.99.10.8.orig/src/auth/db-mysql.h +++ dovecot-0.99.10.8/src/auth/db-mysql.h @@ -1,7 +1,8 @@ #ifndef __DB_MYSQL_H #define __DB_MYSQL_H -#include <mysql.h> +#include <mysql/mysql.h> +#include <mysql/errmsg.h> struct mysql_connection; struct mysql_request; -- Jaldhar H.

http://dovecot.org/test/ I couldn't break this with Evolution with a few minutes of testing, so here's the first tarball release based on the new indexing code. Try if you're interested, but don't try it on any real mailboxes, or at least keep backups :) Also note that dovecot-uidlist file format has changed a bit, Dovecot 0.99.x isn't able to read it anymore. Things to do:

http://dovecot.org/test/ I still haven't done much real world testing, but I've been thinking about all the potential race conditions a lot since last time and fixed a lot of them. There might still be some.. Changes since -test1: - Locking fixes - A lot more difficult to crash it with corrupted index files - Recent flag works, this time exactly as IMAP RFC says - Maildir syncing

This one seems to be actually working. Also rewrote doc/index.txt in case someone is interested.

Dear Timo, What do you think of this? Fyi, I've been getting the same thing lately and I'm wondering if gnutls is to blame? (i've had inexlicable SIGSEGVs in other apps before due to it.) Tomorrow I'll try with openssl but I was wondering if you had any other ideas? -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

I uploaded 0.99.10.6 to sid. Owing to the importance of the dot lock fix, I've tried to have this pushed to sarge quickly. Let's see how that goes. I've prepared a backport of 0.99.10.6 to woody which should be showing up on www.backports.org soon hopefully. In the meantime, if you desperately need it and don't mind working out dependencies yourself, you can find it at
