Hi, I setup a configuration that will use sendmail with dovecot as imap/pop3 service and vpopmail as backend to handle virtual users and store email there. For this I created a dovecot.m4 as described in the wiki, it looks like: ######################*****############## ### DOVECOT Mailer specification ### ##################*****################## Mdovecot,

Hey Guys, I'm using vpopmail, and was told here that I need to use the vchkpw passwd module to authenticate AND get my lastauth data updated. It works like a charm, but I've come across another minor issue. vchkpw sets the 'connection-type' based on the variable TCPLOCALPORT If that's not set, it defaults to pop. What this does in my environment is cause someone who is

Hello, I'm migrating many accounts to a new server with vpopmail 5.4.33 and dovecot 2.0.11. I've already vpopmail 5.4.32 and dovecot 1.2.16 on others servers running without problems. With dovecot 2.0.11 my lastauth file is not updated. This file usually is update on any access (smtp, pop3, imap) with the client's IP, for every mailbox. Now it's updated only when a client

Hello! I've tried to set up dovecot in conjuction with vpopmail, and running it under djb's tcpserver instead of (x)inetd. Btw - there was no reference to setting dovecot up using (x)inetd either in the manuals/faqs i read, though I didn't search all that hard. Anyway, back to my Q: vpopmail uses vchkpw as an authentication mechanism, and with tcpserver I can do relaycontrol (based

I have a little problem in my configuration (vpopmail + qmail + dovecot 2.1.12 with LDA) my .qmail-default is this | /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $EXT@$USER -e | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox I receive al mails to postmaster for non-existent users (all my users are virtual and live under group 89 vpopmail) and this is ok

Hi all. We've just migrated our back-end NFS mailstore from FC1 systems to CentOS4 and are experiencing problems/delays with vpopmail and user Maildirs. IMAP is fine, it's just POP access that causes us problems. Now, NFS mounts successfully, the clients can see /home/vpopmail and serve content as we would expect. IMAP works perfectly and sees new messages as soon as they're

I was just wondering how dovecot interacts with vpopmail. Does it just call the vchkpw and pass the username and password to it then wait for a it to tell dovecot weather the user is vaild or not ? Does vchkpw pass back the users homedir ? PS. My plan is to just replace vchkpw with a script/program of own. that dovecot can call to auth a user again xmail passwd file. And using "auth_passdb

Hi, First, I'm not sure if dovecot should alter this, but it seems vpopmail writes the IP into the 'remote_ip' field instead of the auth type. Dovecot still writes the auth type.? I want both. So I modified my vpopmail install to write an additional field into the lastauth table.? My custom vpopmail writes the remote IP into remote_ip, and the auth type into a 'type'

Hi, I've changed my running qmail/vpopmail/procmail/courier-imap/sqwebmail installation to qmail/vpopmail/siege/dovecot/horde imp. So far, I've got everything running. Authentification with vpopmail as passdb is working, Mail delivery with siege into different Mail folders is working as well. One of the reasons why I switched to dovecot was the expire plugin and right now I'm trying

Hello, I've just found that if vpopmail is compiled with --enable-roaming-users=y, but tcprules binary is missing there is kind of denial of service situation, which is not very obvious for debugging. I know this is result of misconfiguration and I suppose this is more of a vpopmail() bug, but it is somewhat hard to debug and causes greater harm to dovecot long running auth process than

Hello, i'm using in my installation qmail+vpopmail and now I have migrated from courier-imap to dovecot. Dovecot is very much faster with large mailbox than courier-imap. But I have a problem. vpopmail has a feature that allows you to "Disable non webmail IMAP access", many webmail using imap as if they were, and they are, a client IMAP. vpopmail give me the ability to

Hello. I am having problems getting dovecot to authenticate correctly through vpopmail. I have used vpopmail for some time, and I understand how it works. vpopmail is using mysql to store it's authentication data. vpopmail's tools can access the user database just fine, and vchkpw is working so far as authentication goes. I took an "strace -f dovecot", in case it can help.

Hi there, I'm working on converting my server from using bincimap to dovecot. I seem to be having some trouble with folders, however. Binc was set up like this : depot = "IMAPdir", /* Use Maildir++ style type = "Maildir", /* only Maildir path = "Maildir", /* default

Hello again, all. Of course after posting yesterday that all was well with my setup, turns out all is not well. The problem I'm having is with dovecot-lda functioning and making deliveries to my mailbox, but the sieve scripts don't seem to have any effect. Attempts at logging what is/isn't happening have been total failures. Managesieve seems to work fine, port 4190 is open on the

Hello List, I have created a shared folder in dovecot and am trying to use ACL's to limit access to it and give users who do have access the ability to create sub-directories and copy email to them. When I try to create a sub-directory in the share using Outlook I get the following error: "Cannot create the folder. The server responded: 'NOPERM] Permission denied'." And, I
