Red Hat 8.0 stock dovecot 99.10 for a variety of reasons, I decided to cut over to dovecot this morning. I extracted all of my mailboxes from mbx purgatory back to mbox purgatory, set up dovecot and proceed to get authentication failures. (am using simple password based authentication either direct or through pam) I turned authentication verbosity on and got: Aug 14 11:51:38 harvee dovecot:

figures. Converted over to maildir today. Procmail is a piece of cake once I managed to pride out of its cold dead fingers the essential tiny bit of documentation I needed. But I'm having a problem with my nested directories. I have a directory called incoming sort my incoming mail. The conversion utility created a bunch of files called incoming.<stuff> and 1 file is visible

I've tried two imap clients (mahogany and Mozilla) and they both have strange delays and weird failures. As a reminder, I am using mbox format mailboxes on the server and client side filtering of messages from the inbox. In both cases when the client fetches messages from the inbox and starts redistributing them, CPU utilization on the imap server goes to around 40 percent for Mozilla

a customer of mine needs a UPS capable of supporting a small server in his office. Obviously, nut is a good thing for him for clean shutdown etc. especially with the crappy quality power in his office condo. I wanted to purchase an MGE UPS but it looks like they purchased APC and are now flogging that product line. Now, I've never been happy with APC. I have an APC 3000 (sans

I am unable to get a my Draytek working with our Asterisk server. I can make/recieve calls but get no audio. I have tried the various codecs at the Vigor end but still getting nothing. I looked at sip debug (below) but am new to Asterisk and don't really know what I am looking for. Asterisk works fine with XLITE so I know my installation is ok. Sip read: INVITE

I do a bunch of "kindness of strangers" hosting in my basement and my three kVA apc unit died recently. In looking around, it looked like Belkin was a reasonable low-end replacement for a few machines. Then I read this mailing list after I purchased one and was gifted another. It looks like people don't like Belkin. ;-) So the question is what's a good UPS for running

wondering if anyone has built a native port yet. It looks like I may have to go through eliminate delta copy from a half a dozen machines because of transfer lockups. Conversation on the rsnapshot list indicates that using cygwin may be the source of my problems. """Yes, there's a well-known Cygwin hang bug that rsync seems to hit especially often. IIRC, the problem is that

I'm trying to set up a belkin f6c1100-unv UPS to work with nuts. From reading the mailing list, it sounds like the belkinunv serial driver should work and that the USB driver is potentially troublesome. Is this a correct impression? Also I may have missed this but if I do go with the serial (or USB port) is there any simple command line method for verifying basic connectivity? The

I am trying to use Maildir format for My inbox and be able to save the messages in ~/Mail. Problem is dovecot only show the Maildir mailboxes not the ~/Mail formatted boxes. How can I get this to work? If I use namespace or something how would this be configured I cannot find much documentation that explains it well enough. example: what would I have to configure in dovecot.conf or

is really a royal pain in the butt. most of the conversion tools only do a partial job. mb2md seems to be the best but it does not convert the from line correctly unless you are using exim for an MTA. It also does not get the file status right so everything is written to the new maildir directory. something else that makes the process painful is when you have folders containing mailboxes.

I have just upgraded to dovecot 1.0.13. All the documentation I can find in the example .conf file and the NEWS and ChangeLog files seems to say that the mail_privileged_group = mail setting is all I should need to make dovecot use group mail to create dotlock files. My understanding from what I read is that mail_privileged_group is used to set the group used while creating dotlock files in (in
