Hello, I'm trying to use postgres authentication with dovecot on a linux system running Fedora Core 2. Installation of dovecot was done by installing the rpm included in the fedora distribution ("yum install dovecot"). from /etc/dovecot.conf auth_userdb = pgsql /etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf auth_passdb = pgsql /etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf but the logs tell me: dovecot: Jul 21 19:28:39 Info:

Hi, im using 0.99 stable in RPM form, Im using this for postfix+dovecot+real unix users, now i tried to enable virtual support with this: protocols = imap pop3 ssl_disable = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.info login_user = dovecot mail_extra_groups = mail auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_passdb = pam auth_userdb = passwd auth_userdb =

my mailsystem is using postfix and virtual mailbox which stored in mysql db. SMTP AUTH is using PAM, pam-mysql to authenticate against a mysql db. I installed dovecot 0.99-14. In the dovecot example config file it mentioned that auth_passdb can check against thru PAM but auth_userdb didn't Does it mean that auth_userdb should use other means e.g. /etc/passwd, shadow, vpopmail, etc and in my

Hello. I am trying to setup Dovecot on an Alpha running FreeBSD 4.10. I am simply trying the imap/pop3 protocols at this time. But with both protocols the log message I get is: pop3-login: fd_send(5) failed: Bad file descriptor dovecot: child 275 (login) returned error 89 or imap-login: fd_send(5) failed: Bad file descriptor dovecot: child 275 (login) returned error 89 I have tried

I've been playing around with Dovecot for the past few months for testing (on a Debian 3.0 system), and initially it was easy to setup and worked well. Recently I upgraded to 0.99.10.9, and when I rebuilt it I enabled MySQL and SSL. The first problem I ran into was upon startup it complained that there was no certificate, which makes sense, except that I hadn't enabled imaps in the

I've configured dovecot to authenticate against a Fedora Directory Server. The mail server on which dovecot is installed has the nss_ldap and pam_ldap packages installed, and /etc/dovecot.conf has the following two lines: auth_userdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf auth_passdb = pam In other words, I want dovecot to use LDAP to access the user database, but PAM for authentication. This part is

Have the following entries in dovecot.conf auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot-passdb auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot-passdb auth_user = dovecot passwd-file is owned by user and group dovecot When I try to log in .. I get dovecot: Feb 19 16:41:30 Error: Logins with UID 0 not permitted (user echo) imap-login: Feb 19 16:41:30 Info: Internal login failure: echo [127.0.0.1]

Im a dovecot newbie and need a little help with the passwd-like file auth mechanism in dovecot I got dovecot to work fine with regular /etc/passwd file auth .. so I wanted to start using another authentication store for virtual users. So .. I created a /etc/dovecot-passdb file and plopped in an encrypted password using md5crypt. Here are the appropriate lines from the dovecot.conf file

I'm trying to set up a temporary mailserver using Debian Sarge and Dovecot 1.0 with maildir format. My only previous experience has been on a simple imap server. I have read the wiki documentation and searched the archives, but can't tie down my problem. The log tells me Info: passwd-file(anne) : unknown user. I have set auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.passwd auth_passdb =

Hi all I just compiled Dovecot v1.0-test70 and i tried using the dovecot-example.conf for a quick test to see if the daemon would work. But I keep getting the following error message in me /var/log/messages: May 17 12:33:46 mail dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-test70 starting up May 17 12:33:47 mail dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down May 17 12:33:47 mail dovecot: auth(default): No

I've recently converted over to dovecot to uw-imap, and am having a heck of a time trying to find actual docs that describe how to set up virtual users properly without using ldap or posgres.. Basically I need to know what goes in auth_userdb and auth_passdb for a system with *NO* local user accounts in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. I will only create mbox files for these users in /var/mail/%u

hi, after i try to use dovecot with ldap i configure dovecot as: ------------------------ first_valid_uid = 499 last_valid_uid = 499 first_valid_gid = 499 last_valid_gid = 499 default_mail_env = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n auth_userdb = static uid=499 gid=499 home=/home/users/%d/%n auth_passdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf ------------------------ but after this i've got the error in imap.log:

Hello and ... help! I am using Redhat FC2. I was looking for a simple POP3 compatible application package that would allow growth into secure mailboxes, and it looks like dovecot can fill the bill, and then some. I am a newbie. I scanned the Wiki but am as confused by it as I am by my problems. Fortunately for me, I don't need 7 different authentication schemes; I just need something

Good day, I am having trouble getting dovecot to authenticate using postgresql. For some reason, it fails on a PAM error, although I have specified pgsql as authentication? Here my setups: dovecot.conf: -- snip-- (not sure if you need teh rest) auth = digest_md5 auth_mechanisms = plain digest-md5 auth_userdb = pgsql /etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf auth_passdb = pgsql /etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf auth_user

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

All, [version: dovecot-0.99.11-4.EL4.src.rpm] We recently experienced an issue that prevented all new IMAP logins from occurring. Although it appears that it was due to running out of available system file descriptors, I'm still not sure what the true root cause was as I can't replicate the same error in our test environment. The system file descriptor max was set at (per `cat

Hi folks, I've updated my dovecot 0.99.14 with the last package (0.99.14-1sarge0), but it doesn't work. I've found that problem: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/80872 then I've removed that, and reinstalled first package (from /var/cache/apt/archives), and NOW it doesnt' work too :( When I start the daemon, I see in my logs: dovecot: May 31

Hi. I wish to configure a CentOS 4.1 box to be a mail server. I'd like a setup with virtual mail accounts, using eg. exim, courier and mysql. Do any applications exist that already combine this in an easy to deploy manner (yum as far as possible)? I've seen XAMS.org but that's discontinued. Br, Morten

I have tried to configure dovecot to use passwd-file authentication and I havent been able to. I changed the following in the dovecot.conf file (I want to have all the mailboxes in one directory): default_mail_env = maildir:/opt/mail/%u auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/passwd.imap auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/passwd.imap auth_verbose = yes It gives me the following error (I hoped it would be
