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

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

Hi Friends, I'm running postfix 2.2.10, dovecot-0.99.11 and openldap -2.2.13 in my organization. Here, all my postfix, dovecot, saslauthd, depends on ldap only. Means ldap is acting as a centralized database for user information. In this picture everything is working fine except user login to dovecot for downloading their mails. Actually they can't able to login to the server from

I have dovecot-0.99.11-1FC3.4. I use Pine on the server and Outlook 2003 on remote computers to access IMAP and POP3 to access via my blackberry 7100t. It seems that after using IMAP and then going back to pine it somehow refreshes everything and all the messages are picked up on my blackberry once again as if the emails are new. So everything that is in my inbox is now pushed or grabbed

Hi Folks, I'm hoping some one can set me straight here please.

I'm having problems with dovecot and OpenLDAP. I installed both, and configured both. /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf exists and I modified dovecot.conf to have... auth_userdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf auth_passdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf ...but the log displays the following: Jun 19 13:59:15 backup dovecot-auth: Unknown userdb type 'ldap' Jun 19 13:59:15 backup dovecot: Auth

We're setting up a server with qmail/vpopmail and dovecot. In addition to vpopmail users we want non-virtual, local users to be able to authenticate and have them read the Maildir in their real $HOME. vpopmail userdb/passwd works fine. Now how do I tell dovecot to use passwd (or PAM) userdb/passdb authentication too? /etc/dovecot.conf: [...] auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain

Hi! here is the problem , i have local users some have shadow password, some not, so i must create two auth one to login via shadow , and one via passwd so here is my config file (stripped comments): protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s imap_listen = 192.168.0.2 pop3_listen = 192.168.0.2 imaps_listen = 192.168.0.2 pop3s_listen = 192.168.0.2 login = imap login = pop3 auth = default auth_mechanisms

After tomorrow's 0.99.8 release I think it's time for a new config file format. It could be made backwards compatibile with the old format, but there would be new tree-like categories. I was thinking something like this: # global settings protocols = imap # "foo.server.org" is just descriptive name # settings inside server { .. } will override global ones. # groups (namespace,

Hello, I'm trying to set up dovecot installed from RPM (version dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1, the one included in Centos 4.3). I get this error: dovecot-auth: passwd-file(user@domail): unknown user even if user@domain exists: auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.virtual_users auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.virtual_users -bash-3.00# cat /etc/imap.v_users

Hello, I am trying to run dovecot on my Linux. I am using an exim 3.30 as the MTA with vmail-sql virtual users. I have installed latest dovecot release and ran through the config file. Some options seemed unclear to me, but generally I think it is OK. The problem is, that MySQL authentication does not work. It even does not try to authenticate! Dovecot connects correctly with MySQL database,

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

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 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 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

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 =
