Dovecot is delivering mail to my ~/.mail directory wonderfully. But /var/mail/michael is growing steadily. Is it the job of Dovecot to purge this file regularly? Is there a setting somewhere for this? Thanks, Michael

Hello, I'm running the dovecot backports from jones.dk. Everything is working fine so far, but whenever someone is logging in (IMAP or POP 3) I get the following error message in my mail.log: [...] pop3(frederik): utime() failed with index file /var/mboxes/frederik/.INBOX/.imap.index: Operation not permitted [...] imap(jako1): utime() failed with index file

Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.32 Severity: important In postinst logcheck "fixes" permissions of /etc/logcheck/* to 750. In my (and others on #d-d) opinion ownership and permissions should be preserved upon package upgrades. Logcheck must not screw with my decision to make them world readable every time it configures. -- Peter

Mulberry has the ability to log the IMAP exchange client-side. Is there an equivalent logging feature in Dovecot (0.99) to log the IMAP exchange server-side? My problem is that Mulberry is displaying some complex MIME structures incorrectly (eg. nested/forwarded messages) but it seems to go away if I close a folder and re-open it. I'm suspecting that Dovecot is reporting the wrong

Hi, We are thinking of converting to Dovecot to lighten our I/O load. I have done some performace tests comparing UW-IMAP to Dovecot when using mbox format if anyone is interested. They primarily examine the I/O improvements that can be gained from using Dovecot over UW when staying with mbox format: http://whizzo.uoregon.edu/public/src/mailperf/results.html I had too much cached for this set

Hi I noticed in a post that Timo might start work on a LDA Great! If so, here is something I would really like included. Support for PAM There is quite a lengthy reason behind this. In my organisation, user accounts are created on ldap. It is up to the services to create home directories whenever the user first uses them. For instance, Samba will do this the first time they connect to their

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 Timo and other dovecot fans, why, when I'm trying to read certain "Drafts" emails that I just created, or edited, do the dovecot children die (or so I think). In mutt, the behaviour is that I "c =Drafts" then select the email and I get "connection closed to squeaky.rubberduck.com". In Mail.app - she just loops, trying to read those headers again and again

Hi all, On my Alpha box running Tru64 5.1, rsync-2.5.4 compiled by GNU gcc 3.0.1 anh GNU make 3.79.1 has this size: 4562848. The same version of rsync compiled by Compaq C compiler V6.3-028 and Compaq make has this size: 655424. It is about _7 times_ smaller! I did a quick test and they seem both working OK. Is that normal to see a huge difference in binary size produced by gcc and vendor's

Hi, I'm using Dovecot (dovecot-0.99.10p0) on OpenBSD-3.4 for few weeks now. When i connect to my IMAP account the connection is often closed by dovecot when i try to delete mails. I can see messages like this in log: Feb 29 18:47:00 po imap(mat at reynerie.org): Corrupted binary tree file /home/mat/Maildir//.INBOX/.imap.index.tree: used_file_size larger than real file size (1772 vs 1556)

Apologies for the off-topic question; as usual I'm trying to draw upon the unparalleled knowledge and sagacity of the r-help list. Please reply off-list if you can help me out. A collaborator of mine found a formula we need, on sheets which he had photocopied out of a book, some years ago. He cannot remember which book (he's getting to be as senile and forgetful as I am, poor bloke!).

Dear all Off topic to some extent but Ted Harding has just called me to say he is (a) seeing large delays in the list messages when it is sent internally from hypatia.math.ethz.ch. I get only a delay of an hour which is reasonable in the scrap below but Ted reports delays of the order 24 hours, (b) messages he has sent to the list don't appear on it for a long time. Is anyone else

Hi all, Out IMAP client (Outlook and others) use login name like joedirt at domainname.com I need dovecot to convert it to joedirt-domainname_com since that is the local login name. Can someone give me a hint how to do that? Is there any simple way to do it or do I have to modify any source code? Thanks, Zoong

Dovecot (0.9.11) consumes 100% CPU utilisation when accessing (either pop or imap) one of my mailboxes. It doesn''t happen with other mailboxes.

OS: OpenBSD-3.5 with all patches MTA: Sendmail-8.12.11 It happened with other RCs of dovecot-0.9.11 Configured as: ./configure --without-pam

I have a very simple Samba 3.0.1 install without LDAP/ADS/winbind support compiled into it. I have noticed a strange problem with supplementary groups I noticed with Mac OS X (10.3.2). The SAMBA server is using 'ntdomain' authentication. When someone connects to the SAMBA server and gives their username in uppercase (the OS's default), then none of the secondary UNIX groups the
