Can dovecot use usernames and passwords not from /etc/passwd and be able to read mails of an user whose username and password are in /etc/passwd ? For example: - Joe Bloke has a local Unix account joe on Unix server mail.example.com - Sendmail on mail.example.com accepts mails for joe at example.com and put them in /var/mail/joe - can dovecot use other username/password file or database or

Hello, I'm running the dovecot backports from jones.dk. Everything is working fine so far, but whenever someone is logging in (IMAP or POP 3) I get the following error message in my mail.log: [...] pop3(frederik): utime() failed with index file /var/mboxes/frederik/.INBOX/.imap.index: Operation not permitted [...] imap(jako1): utime() failed with index file

Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.32 Severity: important In postinst logcheck "fixes" permissions of /etc/logcheck/* to 750. In my (and others on #d-d) opinion ownership and permissions should be preserved upon package upgrades. Logcheck must not screw with my decision to make them world readable every time it configures. -- Peter

Mulberry has the ability to log the IMAP exchange client-side. Is there an equivalent logging feature in Dovecot (0.99) to log the IMAP exchange server-side? My problem is that Mulberry is displaying some complex MIME structures incorrectly (eg. nested/forwarded messages) but it seems to go away if I close a folder and re-open it. I'm suspecting that Dovecot is reporting the wrong

Hi, We are thinking of converting to Dovecot to lighten our I/O load. I have done some performace tests comparing UW-IMAP to Dovecot when using mbox format if anyone is interested. They primarily examine the I/O improvements that can be gained from using Dovecot over UW when staying with mbox format: http://whizzo.uoregon.edu/public/src/mailperf/results.html I had too much cached for this set

Hi I noticed in a post that Timo might start work on a LDA Great! If so, here is something I would really like included. Support for PAM There is quite a lengthy reason behind this. In my organisation, user accounts are created on ldap. It is up to the services to create home directories whenever the user first uses them. For instance, Samba will do this the first time they connect to their

Hi List, While (bluntly) testing the prerelease version of dovecot on our mailfarm (just for the webmail imap) we noticed some small problems: - While our OLD dovecot/imap drove the load to a maximum of 1 over a day after running, the new dovecot/imap pushes it easily to 20. This is mainly due to a LOT more disk activity. This is probably caused by the fact we a) use indexes on disk and

Hi Timo and other dovecot fans, why, when I'm trying to read certain "Drafts" emails that I just created, or edited, do the dovecot children die (or so I think). In mutt, the behaviour is that I "c =Drafts" then select the email and I get "connection closed to squeaky.rubberduck.com". In Mail.app - she just loops, trying to read those headers again and again

Thank you. But I'm afraid I don't understand. The man entry reads: "--list-only This option will cause the source files to be listed instead of transferred. This option is inferred if there is a single source arg and no destination specified..." It doesn't say anything about "list remote files". In fact I am not sure why it would even contact the remote

Hello Peter & Jeremy, I've found an ordinary desktop PC (with Phoenix Award BIOS 6.00PG) that won't boot off a USB stick created by livecd-tools-024 with syslinux (tested both versions 3.75 and 3.81). The boot process drops to the "boot:" prompt with an error message: could not find kernel image: linux The same USB stick boots fine on any other computer I could find.

I just installed Dovecot and it is working great. But I need subfolders. Does this mean I need to convert to Maildir format? I found several tools to do the conversion, but is there anything that needs to be changed in Dovecot to make the switch? Any advice appreciated. Thank you, Michael Hipp Heber Springs, AR, USA

The output of --list-only isn't as I expected as regards symlinks. Here are my test files: $ ls ./src -rw------- 1 michael michael 0 2018-09-05 09:18:15 file lrwxrwxrwx 1 michael michael 4 2018-09-05 09:18:28 near_symlink -> file lrwxrwxrwx 1 michael michael 23 2018-09-05 09:19:05 far_symlink -> /home/michael/Documents The "destination" dir is empty: $ ls ./dest

My apologies. I'm evidently not communicating very well. I am not asking for a list of what "needs to be transferred", I am looking for a list of those things that are "candidates to transfer". In other words, the source items minus exclusions/filters or anything else that will be ignored (by rsync). Is there any option for rsync that offers such a list? > find

Hi, Are SQLite users that are worried about losing data that has been committed (fsynced) better off setting data=journal than data=ordered (or even data=writeback)? The context is trying to reduce the number of writes to a flash file-system without sacrificing data integrity in the event of a power failure or OS crash. Thanks, Dan Kennedy.

I am running Asterisk CVS-04/16/03-18:57:13, and mpg123-0.59r It all sounds great and it plays at the correct pitch and speed. However at the end of the file it simply does nothing. It does not go on the the next step in the extension.conf nor does it hang up. It just sits there. During play I have two processes running for the mp3 stream: root 6300 6299 8 22:32 ?

Hi Users, I have a problem with some of my mp3 files. they crash the system (Asterisk 1.6.2.14 on a x86_64 running Fedora 13 ) when it tries to play them. Unfortunately the logs do not give me a clear fault or cause of crash but i can clearly see that ts because of the MP3 files. Its the way some files are encoded. Is there a way I can make it skip the files that can be played? I use the

Hey guys. Im trying to setup Music on Hold. If I transfer a call (with dial) I like to put the call on Music on hold.. Here's what I've tried so far: On my I extensions.conf exten =>1,1,WaitMusicOnHold(30) exten =>1,2,Dial(SIP/mateo,18) exten =>1,3,VoiceMail(1001) I have also added this line to [context].. So it looks like that: ;[context] musiconhold=default Additinaly,

I've tried getting this running but mpg123 won't spawn. It spawns fine for the files but if I try streaming she doesn't work. I've tried with just about every stream at somafm.com w/o success. I can play them locally though. When I try to play them from the server from the command line I get: # mpg123 -s --mono -r 8000 -b 2048 http://160.79.128.40:8052 High Performance MPEG

Hi there, I just tried today's CVS: 4/23/2004 version and found a strange loise with music on hold. Basically, when on hold you hear very distorted music as if it was very loud.
