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

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 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

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

Hi all, I'm interested in implementing an anti-spam system using bayesian filtering. I had the idea of modifying and IMAP server to assist in training the spam filter. I was thinking of running a program whenever a message in moved to the folder "Spam" or to a "Safe" folder. This could be easily added to the server as a generic feature, with hook programs for: * new

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! Maikel Verheijen. -------------- next part --------------

http://dovecot.org/test/ - "Maildir sync: UID < next_uid (446 < 447, file = .." errors should be fixed - fixes for detecting changes in uidvalidity and external uidnext changes - several fixes and cleanups in index file handling. less code than before and now changes to index header also go through transaction log. that should mean that soon I can get mmap_disable = yes

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

Hi! When I'm trying to compile the source-code I get this error message: mycrypt.o: In function `mycrypt': /root/soft/dovecot-0.99.10.4/src/auth/mycrypt.c:11: undefined reference to `crypt' /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o): In function `my_compress_alloc': my_compress.o(.text+0xb4): undefined reference to `compress'

Hello there, Anyone have a Howto for me how i can configure dovecot to work with a PostgreSQL Database? (the docs are small), i want to use it with Exim4 and i have a error with SSL "imap-login: Can't load private key file /var/dovecot/ssl/private/imapd.pem: error:0906D06C:PEM routine:PEM_read_bio:no start line" i make my cert with this command (i don't like the included

Hello, I'm setting up a new mail server using freebsd 6.2, postfix, dovecot with SASL and, eventually, squirrelmail. I've gone through http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestPop3Installation the program is running, plain works over telnet from local host or from a remote machine. I can do stat and retr commands. however, when I try to use the login method (that is what the command 1 login

I wasn't able to get DIGEST-MD5 authentication working with passwords stored as plaintext until I tweaked password_generate() to make it not use the domain portion of user at domain.com as the realm. Both evolution and kmail send the email address as the username with no realm; when dovecot tries to convert the username to user + realm, the hash is different and so DIGEST-MD5
