Hello! Could somebody give some feedback on this configuration: - OpenBSD box with local ssh users. - /home directory mounted with nosuid,noexec. - postfix dropping mail in /home/username/mail/INBOX, with the UID/GID of the user. - dovecot: valid_chroot_dirs = /home default_mail_env = mbox:/home/%u/mail/:INBOX=/home/%u/mail/INBOX Are there any obvious ways for a local user to help

Hello I just upgraded my system and there is a problem with shared mailboxes. When I use the doveadm command I can see shared folders: doveadm mailbox list -u 'test at mydomain.pl' Drafts Sent Spam Trash Shared Virtuals Virtuals/all Shared/test2 at mydomain.pl Shared/test2 at mydomain.pl/Sent INBOX But I can't see them over IMAP protocol. Some config opts: valid_chroot_dirs =

Hi, I'm using a mixture of Exim, Dovecot and Deliver. Exim receives the mail and validates the user against our database, then pipes the e-mail to deliver which puts it in the right mailbox. We were running Exim 4.67 and Dovecot 1.0.1, and today I did an in-place upgrade to Dovecot 1.0.5 and Exim 4.68. However, now Exim is failing deliveries saying deliver returned code 75. If I

hello all i am new to dovecot and i have a small problem. I use qmail as a pop3 server and dovecot as imap. my rc script is as follows: -----snip----- #!/bin/sh exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start '|preline procmail' splogger qmai -----end----- thus i deliver mails through procmail so all mails are located to /var/spool/mail. The problem exists when i tested

Hello, I've got a dovecot setup using PAM and real system users. In this setup I also use pure-ftpd to give local users ftp access to their $HOMEs. To have pure-ftpd chroot into the user home i replaced /home/user with /home/user/./ in /etc/passwd. Unfortunately this breaks Dovecot this way: Oct 23 18:18:20 localhost dovecot: Invalid chroot directory '/home/foo' (user foo) (see

Hi, I got strange problem with dovecot LDA; in dovecont.conf: mail_chroot = /srv/vmail --- deliver(test at fakedomain.net): Apr 03 07:28:21 Info: auth input: test at fakedomain.net deliver(test at fakedomain.net): Apr 03 07:28:21 Info: auth input: uid=400 deliver(test at fakedomain.net): Apr 03 07:28:21 Info: auth input: gid=400 deliver(test at fakedomain.net): Apr 03 07:28:21 Info: auth

Hi, there! Well, I am new to dovecot, so please be patient with me: I have a virtual server and want to setup simple mail delivery. postfix, saslauthd and dovecot basically work fine. The only open issue is, that (I guess) dovecot doesn't remove the mail when it's retrieved via pop3 from the server. It keeps sending me the same emails again and again. (The mail client (Thunderbird) is

Hello, I have successfully setup dovecot with chroot but there are two things yet 1. submission_host problem (I posted message 2 days ago) 2. Problem with acl's and sharing: all maildirs are located in: /var/mail/jdoe at example.com/Maildir so: mail_chroot=/var/mail I setup acls with: 10-mail.conf ... namespace { type = private separator = / prefix =. inbox = yes hidden = no

I am setting up dovecot for imap on a new Fedora 3 box. Through SquirrelMail I can access my email - no problem. However my other users are getting this error message: ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server. Query: CAPABILITY Looking in the maillog file for further error details gives me this: dovecot: chroot directory no included in valid_chroot_dirs: /home/user Looking through the

Settings for mail_chroot and default_mail_env are not playing well together. It seems that default_mail_env is verified to exist *before* the chroot but is later used *after* the chroot. A configuration like this: * mail_chroot = /var/mail/example.com/username * default_mail_env = maildir:/Maildir Fails with the message: * stat(/Maildir) failed: No such file or directory As a

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, I'm migrating to Dovecot from Courier-IMAP. I use Postfix with Maildir for delivery. When I use Dovecot as the IMAP server all of my folders are missing, the only thing that remains is the Inbox folder. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have enclosed my configuration.

Hi, I upgraded (in place upgrade, preserving my dovecot configs) to a newer release of ubuntu in order to gain access to slightly newer Dovecot release and be able to use Dsync for migration from Cyrus, here is my doveconf -n output: # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.5.0-44-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.10 auth_debug = yes auth_default_realm = whatever.com auth_master_user_separator

Hello, We are using dovecot (2.2.10) and it's working great! When I enable chrooting by appending /./ to the homedirs I'm getting errors like this: mail1 dovecot[47074]: imap(user): Error: Temp file creation to /tmp/dovecot.imap.mail1.70079. failed: No such file or directory On the surface everything seems to be working fine and I have not been able to produce the error myself. Any

I just upgraded my Ubuntu server from 11.10 to 12.04.1 and that upgraded Dovecot to 2.0.19. For some reason I'm getting a lot more (5 times) disconnect in IDLE and inactivity time outs. I'm using only IMAP with two users. Both users access the server from multiple devices, phone, tablet and desktop computer. I had previously set the max_userip_connections to 20 and rarely got the

Greetings, I'm am learning about running a mail server and I set up a brand new Ubuntu 14.04 server with postfix and dovecot. I had some initial problems with dovecot not starting, and then with not having proper permissions/access to the various directories and files and pipes, etc, and in the process starting to learn how this thing works. After searching in web-land I seem to have

Hi, I am using dovecot: 1.0.rc15 I was upgrading Debian and installed new versions of lots of things. My mail came fine and I though there was not problem until a user called and said it was not working through webmail. I tried, it it worked fine and I realized the problem was with dovecot.
