I'm using deliver (1.0.5) with Postfix (2.1.6). I made a test for a few minutes in a moderated busy server. While most mails was delivered, a lot of them failed with this error: deliver(userfoo): Oct 15 09:58:31 Error: net_connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable Sounds to me something like not enough auth-master to answer every concurrent deliver. Any

A friend of mine passed me this[1] cause I'm recommending him Dovecot. My personal experience is very different to the one in that benchmark. I will appreciate similar links from those of you who had benchmarked Dovecot against other IMAP servers. I'm conscious that my personal experience is far to be a objetive comparison. I switched from UW-Imap/Mbox to Dovecot/Maildir a box with 45k

I'm doing in-site migration of accounts from /etc/passwd to an LDAP directory. The migration should be progressive (not all users at the same time). I'm already able to check mail for accounts in /etc/passwd and accounts in LDAP. The problem is with mail delivery. I'm using Postfix + Dovecot-LDA. This is the error I get with every delivery -- dovecot: Oct 03 00:16:09 Info:

According to [1], Trash is a reserverd folder name. When moving a message to it, maildirsize should be update with a negative byte count. If I move a message from any folder to Trash, maildirsize gets two lines, one positive and one negative. The problem is that a user can't move messages to Trash while being overquota because the positive entry goes before the negative. I'm using

Timo Please have a look at this short thread[1]. That message stops appearing whenever I shutdown dovecot. I'm using dovecot 1.0.15. dovecot-ldap.conf ----------------- dn = ... dnpass = ... ldap_version = 3 auth_bind = no base = ... pass_filter = ... pass_attrs = ... user_filter = ... user_attrs = ... default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT user_global_uid = vmail user_global_gid = vmail Regards,

For certain users, I have their mail boxes under /srv/mpop/<username>/Maildir. For the rest, I have their mail boxes under /srv/vmail/<username>/Maildir. mpop/ users are stored in LDAP, vmail/ users are local users so I discard the idea of set a fixed mail_location. In dovecot-ldap.conf I can't get the picture to set /srv/mpop/<username>/Maildir as mail. I'd tried

Timo Do you have plans of adding support for writing plugins in high level languages like Python? Regards maykel

I'm migrating to LDAP mi local users, there is the auth section of my dovecot.conf -- auth default { mechanisms = plain socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = dovecot group = nusers } } passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf } passdb pam { } userdb ldap { args =

I'm using Dovecot (1.0.10) locally to test SugarCRM. When I tried to set up a mail account in Sugar, it complains with -- SECURITY PROBLEM: insecure server advertised AUTH=PLAIN Please check your settings and try again. -- don't know if that behaviour is a bug or a feature of php-imap. The case is that I'm unable to set up the mail account in Sugar. Timo answered to me on IRC about

Hi, I am trying to deal with the problem, that under regular mbox format a path can lead to either a file or a directory, but not both, while under IMAP, a path is usually both, a message folder containing subfolders. I found dovecot's approach to this problem, the Maildir++ layout described under http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MboxChildFolders , and was astonished to see, what problems come with

Hi everyone. I'm confused about LAYOUT=fs... Does using LAYOUT=fs breaks maildir++ quota, if I use this quota scheme? What are the advantages anyway of using LAYOUT=fs vs LAYOUT=maildir++ ? (it's not important in my case if users can't create folders with dots '.') Thanks in advance, Ezequiel

Hi, I've been bitten by an issue running Squirrelmail on top of Dovecot using Maildir++ quotas. Having configured these quotas in Dovecot, I notice that Dovecot appears not to exclude the 'Trash' folder from its quota calculation (which it should do, according to the Maildir++ spec). Unfortunately this breaks Squirrelmail if I try to delete a message from a close-to-quota

I have this default configuration [0], when use the userdb_mail to point to the mdbox location, the inbox subfolders show differently in a firebird client. So I decided to copy the whole default mail_location into the userdb_mail configuration [2]. But then I get errors [3]. Should I change the namespace configuration here, how? My default namespaces are inbox and 4archives [0] [@ ]#

Yes, I have still inbox mbox format because I have sendmail delivering there.

Whilst documenting LAYOUT=maildir++ under dbox, that got me thinking: Can we specify :LAYOUT=maildir++ with mbox? If I have it right, this should then remove the problem of not being able to have messages and mail subfolders in the same mail folder. So for example if we had mail location specified as: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:LAYOUT=maildir++ we would have files: ~/mail/inbox - file

With this setting, all folders are empty, I guess understandable, because the mdbox has its own indexes stored locally with it. Does not explain though why inbox is empty.

Appending .dir to directories and .folder to folder files keeps files completely distinct and name collissions are not possible. > But what was not clear from your mail, is what exactly you identified as "the problems" with standard Maildir++

Hi folks. I was doing some testing this morning and realized Dovecot RC2 isn't fully compliant with the maildir++ specification. Most notably, it appears that Dovecot isn't creating a "maildirfolder" file (0 byte length) in folders it creates. >From http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html "Within each subdirectory there's an empty file,

Hi to all, I am semi-new to the dovecot system, but i like it very much for the versatility of all the system. I have a problem: i am migrating my servers from postfix with vda patch + courier imap to dovecot. All works fine, except for one thing: i use Maildir++ format, but i don't know how to make the file maildirsize into the home of the users. This file is needed by me becouse i have a

I've found what I think is an inconsistency in the Maildir quota implementation. According to the Maildir++ quota specification at: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html Maildir++ quota can be specified as maximum size, or maximum number of messages, or even both. The size specification is supposed to be in bytes. So I could use '10000000S' to set a quota of
