I'm confused about the status of auth agent forwarding while using v2 protocols. I found an old newsgroup post that said it was not available but an entry in the ChangeLog entry dated 20001113 seems to indicate that it was added. So. Does agent forwarding work while using v2 protocols? I've been unable to get it to work since I switched to using v2. Thanks, Ben -- Ben Beuchler

I'm looking for a way to figure out which accounts have not been logged in to in over n days. It occurs to me that, perhaps, the way to do this would be to look at the mtime on one of the dovecot-maintained files, like 'dovecot-uidlist'. Is there a particular file that would be modified on (almost) every login, whether it be via POP or IMAP? -Ben -- Ben Beuchler

OK. I've had a few replies to my earlier question about auth agent forwarding that indicate that it is currently supported. So now I'm confused as to why it is not working for me. I'm trying to chain between servers. With v1 I could load my key into the ssh-agent on my workstation (a) and ssh to server b and ssh from there to server c, all without typing a passphrase/password. Now

I have a dovecot installing working quite well for around 1000 users using passwd-file authentication. I'm moving to LDAP and would sure love to be able to migrate the existing MD5 passwords. I've tried using ldapmodify to set "userPassword" to {CRYPT}$1$H8JE0k5X$y.ptShgYbOgWF.99lX88N1 and {MD5}$1$H8JE0k5X$y.ptShgYbOgWF.99lX88N1 In both cases, ldapmodify exits without errors

It appears that when running Dovecot as a proxy-only box with "login_process_per_connection = no", it ignores the value of login_max_logging_users. And in Linux, since each socket requires a file descriptor, if you don't increase the maximum number of open files that each process is allowed to have open, imap-login will reach the 1024 open file limit and start logging the following

Hi everybody, I have been long (for 2 days) trying, but I really need some help. I would like to use virtual static users. I configured my file as indicated in the documentation and then I created the following directory, with the needed rights (mail account) and leave them empty : /var/mail/virtual/<mon_domaine>.fr/toto/ I am not sure that it is the good method, but I understand it

Hi, Busy with dovecot on a linux server with not very much RAM in it (512 MB max total). On this server dovecot will only handle about 12 users, with never more than 3 IMAP webmail users at a time, and a maximum of 2 POP3 users at a time using it. I'm going all secure later on, but first I would like your opinion on what configuration best to use with, say, max 5 users busy at one time, and

Hi, We are migrating from a windows server and i have very few stats as to what our current concurrent usage stats are other than about 50,000 active users and 90,000 email messages a day inbound 20,000 outbound. Anyone got some tips for tuning dovecot to handle this load? Below is my config - do the values of login_process_size etc sound correct? Also my logs seem to be written out as root

After setting up dovecot 1.0beta-2 on a debian(etch) system I can well login as local user but not vor virtual domains.

hi there... i HAVE practically searched in ALL messages from 2004 year, and haven't any luck with this problem, so I'm inserting here "dovecot.conf" content: ## Dovecot 1.0 configuration file # Default values are shown after each value, it's not required to uncomment # any of the lines. Exception to this are paths, they're just examples # with real defaults being based

There seems to be a protocol mismatch between eudora and dovecot when using pop. The login interchange with, for example, mozilla, is as follows: MO: [connects] DC: +OK dovecot ready. MO: CAPA DC: +OK DC: CAPA DC: TOP DC: USER DC: UIDL DC: RESP-CODES DC: STLS DC: SASL PLAIN DC: . MO: USER yyy DC: +OK MO: PASS xxxxxxxx DC: +OK Logged in. But with eudora, with apparently equivalent

Hi, Newbie to Dovecot and IMAP in general. The system in question is RH 9, Dovecot 0.99.11, Maildir, accessing mail with SquirrelMail, Thunderbird, Kmail, Mutt, Entourage and Mail.app. I've set up the maildir for users in ~/Maildir. Inside that I have other folders, .Sent, .Drafts, .Trash, .Junk, .MakeJunk, .MakeGood. ~/Maildir itself has the cur, new, and tmp folders, but I note that there

Hi, I'm working for tuning a busy cluster of dovecot servers. Heach server as 4 core, 8GB of RAM and provide POP3 and IMAP access to mailbox. OS is Debian 6.0 and dovecot version is 1.2.15. I am unsure how to set "login_max_processes_count" and "login_max_connections" for reach the best situation when login_process_per_connection is set to no. I don't know what

Hi all, I have a dovecot installation which very suddenly decided to slow to a crawl yesterday after being totally fine for months.
