Hi, I'm having problems accessing home directories though NFS. This setup uses LDAP and Kerberos. Users defined on the local host work fine. This is what dovecot writes in the logs while trying to log in as the user johndoe: ---- Mar 19 14:10:54 jack dovecot-auth: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server...

Dovecot is installed on the hosted FC1 server I have, it was working fine until yesterday when they had to bounce the server. I can login fine from Outlook or connect telnet <hostname> 110. But even though I can see sendmail has received mail into my %h/.maildir (via webmail's user mail facility) when I log into dovecot via Outlook it does not retrieve any of it. I tried from W2K

Hi folks, I've updated my dovecot 0.99.14 with the last package (0.99.14-1sarge0), but it doesn't work. I've found that problem: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/80872 then I've removed that, and reinstalled first package (from /var/cache/apt/archives), and NOW it doesnt' work too :( When I start the daemon, I see in my logs: dovecot: May 31

I successfully installed dovecot 0.99.10 on a fedora box using postfix 2.0.11 and when I try to connect using my mozilla mail client I get the following error in the maillog...

I've been playing around with Dovecot for the past few months for testing (on a Debian 3.0 system), and initially it was easy to setup and worked well. Recently I upgraded to 0.99.10.9, and when I rebuilt it I enabled MySQL and SSL. The first problem I ran into was upon startup it complained that there was no certificate, which makes sense, except that I hadn't enabled imaps in the

I am trying to set up Dovecot so that it uses LDAP, but I keep getting this error message in /var/log/syslog: Dec 12 03:38:17 mydomain dovecot-auth: LDAP: ldap_search() failed (filter user_filter = (mail=user at mydomain.tld)): Bad search filter Relevant configuration files: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf: hosts = localhost dn = cn=dovecot,ou=sysAccounts,dc=mydomain,dc=tld dnpass = password

Hi there, my dovecot is now running normaly, but there is a small problem.... We want to to use the maildir format at the mailstorage. But the imap part of dovecot creates the for mbox specific files, but why? I created a passwd-file for a testuser. At this tme, there is only on line: test2 at dev2.abc.de:ujAN28k8.5zV2:99:99:*:*:*:* in dovecot.conf are these interesting lines:

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

Hello everyone, I've narrowed down my problem, so this should be an easy one for some smart person out there. I am moving from an old sendmail/Fedora 2 box to a new sendmail/Fedora 4 box and want to try Dovecot for pop3. The problem is, I can't get it to work. I have 9000 email accounts I will be moving to the new box. I've already tried and failed once. The problem is, Dovecot

Hello Does dovecot know to expand %d in default_mail_env to the default vpopmail domain in case the user logs without attaching the @domain in his login ? I last tried this on an old dovecot and this didn't work... Radu

Hi! Authentication works, but default_mail_env = maildir:/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/%d/%n/Maildir/ is translated by the "imap"-process to /usr/local/vpopmail/domains//testerhorst/Maildir/ although I succesfully log in as testerhorst at elektropost.org. Is there a manual how to use dovecot with vpopmail? We have here: FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE, vpopmail-5.4.0 and dovecot-0.99.10.4_2.

my mailsystem is using postfix and virtual mailbox which stored in mysql db. SMTP AUTH is using PAM, pam-mysql to authenticate against a mysql db. I installed dovecot 0.99-14. In the dovecot example config file it mentioned that auth_passdb can check against thru PAM but auth_userdb didn't Does it mean that auth_userdb should use other means e.g. /etc/passwd, shadow, vpopmail, etc and in my

Hi all I just compiled Dovecot v1.0-test70 and i tried using the dovecot-example.conf for a quick test to see if the daemon would work.

Hello. I am trying to setup Dovecot on an Alpha running FreeBSD 4.10. I am simply trying the imap/pop3 protocols at this time.
