similar to: Pop-before-smtp issue

Bonjour a Tous, I would like to generate (on the fly) a list "popbeforesmtp" when dovecot POP/IMAP authentication succeed. Intended Format will/should be such as: 'timestamp_in_second' user_id remote_ip one user per line. My guess we have all the needed information within dovecot to make such list. But I have seen no way to 'trick' dovecot (dovecot-1.0.alpha3)

Hi, is it possible to configure dovecot's logging so it logs stuff like "User x logged in from IP/Host y and had z new messages" like I'm used from qpopper? That immensely helps when debugging PEBKAC issues. Enabling auth_verbose isnt really helpfull since a failed login generates 4 lines, some even without a pid - so it's a bit hard guessing which log entry belongs to

Hi, I'm very new to Dovecot plug-in development. Is there a simple way to do so some simple logging. I want and equivalent of printf to be able stick strings in /var/log/maillog. Regards, John

I've been simultaneously learning about dovecot and experimenting with the 1.2.alpha4. To start I built an rpm under CentOS 5.2 from: dovecot-1.2.alpha4.tar.gz dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.2.tar.gz dovecot-1.2.alpha4-managesieve-0.11.2.diff.gz dovecot-1.2.alpha4.tar.gz dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.2.tar.gz and then setup with mysql to use virtual users. Mail-wise, it all works. :)

Hi, I found that dovecot have many nice features. Now I write because I'm tring to setup the dovecot server, I would substitute a qpopper daemon (patched for mysql authentication) The problem I find is to set up the pop-before-smtp using sql (mysq) as written in http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/PopBSMTPAndDovecot (Waiting for post_login ;-) I would use the script popbsmtp.sh and not a perl

Just set up postfix & it's running on my RHES 4.2 box. Immediately after postfix is up, I test sending emails from a permitted domain (ahhh, on this postfix server's domain firewall, we even have a firewall rule which permits Tcp25 from those few sending domains' SMTP servers) using an email client to sender_id@[IP_address_of_the_postfix_server] & the /var/log/maillog on

Hi All I am experiencing a mail download problem with dovecot's pop3 protocol. We use outlook XP 2002 mail clients and I have setup a mail system with pop accounts on a Fedora 2 installation using dovecot. Some of the clients download email fine but others do not download email and also do not give any error messages. I have enabled the "verbose" options in the

Beta2 still had a few bad bugs, but I'm hoping this release is near a usable state. I've been a bit busy with school lately so I haven't had time/energy to answer mails in here. The main reason has been this lab course

Hi all, I found a whole bunch of core files from imap this evening, so here are the stack traces from each. Unlike my last message, I don't have debugging symbols for these, so there isn't any analysis I can easily do. There were several cores with the first stack trace and one with the second trace. The core dump for the second trace is the only one I noticed. I suspect that the

I've been trying to get smtp auth set up for days. All my sendmail and sasl2 stuff seems to be proper, but the user can't use the system on port 587, which is where I require authorization. Now I see where messages are in my maillog of the type: auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth) : authentication failure ........ Why is dovecot involved in my smtp processes and how do I fix this. I've

Hello, I work at SmarctJog.com, we have here some patches on IceCast for performance and reliability, these are mostly client/connection/source cleanups (a slave merge is underway, and some more good stuff (c)), but we'd like this to be merged in before the list gets any longer. Please find attached a list of our patches with a short desc: This one is actually not from us/me, it was found

Does anyone have a patch or information resource on implementing POP before SMTP with sendmail and DoveCot? I implemented it using a qpopper patch before we swiched to DoveCot for Maildirs. We have been using DoveCot for almost a year now and love it better than any other IMAP or POP3 server.

Hi, I have setup dovecot to log all successful pop3 and imap logins into /var/log/mail.log I want to use pop-before-smtp to process the log file and write a .db file where sendmail can look up ip addresses that are allowd to relay. mail.log entries look like this: dovecot: 2006-01-26 17:22:28 Info: pop3-login: Login: user=<planat25>, method=PLAIN, rip=213.83.32.125, lip=192.168.1.98

Hi, Having some problems with the default pattern in the pop-before-smtp.pl.conf file for dovecot. Also the one off the dovecot wiki doesn't seem to work and since I can't seem to figure out how these patterns work I hoping someone could help me out with a custom pattern. This is what my mail log looks like: Apr 8 23:30:40 nemesis dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<bjorn>,

Hi! Im using postfix+postfixadmin+mysql+courier-imap i just implemented pop-before-smtp[1], my problem is after recieving the mails i connect to the server using telnet and try to send spam using the mail server it did send it didn't ask for authentication anymore. i'm not sure how this pop-before-smtp really works but i was thinking how should i secure the server in this kind of

I need pop-before-smtp (let's not discuss the advisability of the method), but I'm annoyed at the inefficiency of the classical perl script that parses the logs. A long time ago I modified the perl to add the tuple (IP, time) to an SQL table that the MTA looks at, and to clean up periodically. I found that this was the best way to deal with multiple servers that have to share an SQL

Hi, This is off-topic I know, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I'm running postfix 2.2.x, dovecot 0.99, and it's working great, I wanted pop-before-smtp functionality, so I fired up the suggested perl daemon in the dovecot docs.. This seems to work, I ran tests, it was picking up the ip's, putting them in the .db file, and postfix was able to read them.

I'm using the latest version of dovecot on my FreeBSD 4.x box with OpenPKG to keep other services up to date. Now...I'm able to get pbsmtp to allow relaying through postfix on this server using UW IMAP, but I would like to get dovecot working with relaying...but pbsmtp is not adding the ip when I uncomment the dovecot section after I authenticate. The log is below: [root at

Hello, I just thought I would write this in case its useful to anyone. I've used dovecot for a while, as its so easy to set up, its fast and it and just "works". I recently wanted to be able to send via my server after pop3s authentication. I'm also running debian (testing) which utilises exim4 by default. I found no information about how to do it with this combination of
