similar to: can't chroot "auth process" (dovecot-1.0-test68)

Hello Timo, Thanks to your patches, LDAP authentication now works with -test68. However, I'm still experiencing a segmentation fault with today's snapshot of -stable, as shown in the following gdb backtrace. [I'm still running FreeBSD 5.3] Can you see where it comes from ? Is it because the ldap new code (as in -test68) hasn't been backported into -stable yet ? Thank you, --

Hello List, I am in the process of building a new mail system here. I am hoping to eventually migrate my users from mbox storage to maildir. They have been using mbox forever and would rather get used to maildir slowly. So I have come upon the idea of using namespaces to provide the different mailstores. Since this isn't available in the current stable, or at least I could not figure

Hi all, I have a Postfix+Dovecot working in beta/testing; it seems to run very fine, but one beta-tester user says that kmail informs him about frequent desconnections. My dovecot -a shows: # /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot log_path: info_log_path: log_timestamp: %b %d %H:%M:%S syslog_facility: mail protocols: imaps listen: [::] ssl_listen: ssl_disable: no ssl_ca_file:

I am running debian etch with dovecot 1.0 rc15 from the debian repository with postfix 2.3 I am using virtual users in a postgreSQL database as taken from the dovecot wiki while making use of the password field for authentication I am using deliver as LDA and I am attempting to use the sieve plugin but try as I might I can't seem to get it working. Am I wrong in thinking that a sieve

Hello, I'm using Dovecot to provide an IMAP service to a small number of users and I'm seeing two recurring errors which look like they might be related. Environment: o FreeBSD 5.2.1 / Postfix 2.0.18 / Dovecot 0.99.10.4 o Maildir mailboxes Problem: On logging in all the folders under the users mailbox are empty. This has happened with both MS Outlook 2000 clients as well as

Hello! I have a simple (I think) problem. I have had IMAPS working fine for a long time. Now I want to start to use IMAP and STARTLS, since my mobile SonyEricsson P900 can't use IMAPS directly. But I can't connect even locally to the IMAP port (143), no-one listens there according to netstat (*.imaps is in LISTEN state). I have the following settings in my /etc/dovecot.conf:

All, I'm working in a multi-platform environment where user accounts are already held in Active Directory. I'm been trying to setup dovecot to perform user authentication against Active Directory using ldap. My Environment is: Platform OpenBSD 3.9 Dovecot Version 1.0.rc7 Active Directory Windows 2003 The approach I've taken (being the only one I was able to

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

http://dovecot.org/test/ Recommended update, has had a lot of testing today. No new big features. Changes: - LDAP authentication should work finally? - Some header lookup fixes that should fix sort/threading issues - Don't crash with 0-byte size mboxes - Transaction log fixes. Also rotate .log file to .log.2 file, allowing more history and less "transaction log file lost"

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

Hi, I'm trying to get dovecot set up better. I am using 1.0alpha3. It takes a long long time to move messages for some reason. It seems it may be a timeout thing, because neither the client or server is using any cpu time or disk i/o or network to speak of. (To move maybe 400 messages, it seems to take maybe half an hour, maybe longer.) With alpha 2 I was getting messages from

Hi all, After I posted yesterday, I'm still struggling with dovecot 1.0beta1 I installed it on openbsd with no problem. But I can't get it to authenticate plaintext on Unixware. I had to add two include files <sys/types.h> and <sys/mkdev.h> in compat.h because minor and major where undefined on unixware. I doubt that could fail... What's wrong with that conf: ##

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

Trying to figure out how to convert an existing mbox system to maildir Below is my dovecot.conf file. Tried adding this at the bottom of the file and nothing happens. plugin { convert_mail = mbox:/vhome/%d/home/%n:INBOX=/vhome/%d/home/%n/INBOX convert_skip_broken_mailboxes=yes } What am I doing wrong? ## Dovecot 1.0 configuration file # '#' character and everything after it is

I'm getting the following error when using dovecot replication: dovecot: imap(foo at bar.com): Error: open(/var/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo) failed: No such file or directory I guess this has something to do with the fact that every user is chrooted in it's own homedir. Does dsync support dsync notification when all users are chrooted? lmtp does not seem to have this problem so new

Hi, I need some help I am currently setting up my FC5 box with ldap + samba + postfix + dovecot support as prescribed in howto http://wanderingbarque.com/howtos/mailserver/mailserver.html My problem is in starting the dovecot server.

I'm not sure if it's even intended to work in this particular case, but there's a problem when chroot is explicitely defined and rawlogging is used. Rawlog respects chroot point, without being actually chrooted. Consider configurtion as below, with two cases (dovecot.rawlog dir is of course created earlier, with appropriate uid/gid). 1) dovecot.userdb:
