similar to: Root password or key access to pop3?

Hi all, I have a problem with dovecot-alpha3 and pop3 protocol (on a tru64 5.1a...) In my Maildir/cur there are 8144 mails and if I use pop3 protocol I receive in the output 8146 line instead of 8144. The problem is that 2 mails are duplicated . The output of ?List? command is like: 1 51265 2 261783 . . . 2987 30291 2987 30291 (duplicated line) 2988 16631 . 4601 1231 4602 8921 4602 8921

Hello. We're using dovecot with mysql for authentication, with postfixadmin for the admin web interface. We are moving users from passwd file usernames to email at domain style logins. Is there a better way to allow both sets of usernames (old and new) to work with dovecot than by adding extra copies of rows to the mailboxes table and changing the username? i.e. does dovecot support some

Hello, Does dovecot require mysql in order to work? Fedora rpms are claiming mysql dependencies. I'm sure you're aware of the long-lived arguement of postgresql v. mysql. If it wasn't your intention to force this, then please snarl at Red Hat. If it was your intention, then grrrrr! Thanks for this product. I like it for it's speed and stability. Jim Edwards

Hi Guys, I may have missed something in the conf file but while using a standard mysql auth method I'm finding many dovecot-auth processing sitting doing nothing. They grow to the extent that mysql runs out of connections after a week. Any ideas?

ppl for security reasons I'dont want that the default prompt for the POP3 be +OK Dovecot ready. don't want an attacker can guess my POP3 server easily, any idea?? want something like +OK mydomain.com ready. regards A

My dovecot server seems to randomly begin giving errors to pop3 users who try to fetch their email. Once this begins, they see no more new mail, though the mail is in cur. Running: dovecot-stable 20050501, Mac OS X 10.3.9 Log entries like this: May 2 19:35:18 caddy dovecot: pop3-login: Login: kim [24.22.16.169] May 2 19:35:18 caddy dovecot: POP3(kim): rename(/Users/kim/Maildir/

Some of my users seem to be receiving the same e-mail over and over. This doesn't happen all the time, just once in a while it seems to get stuck in a loop. Is it possible that dovecot is the culprit here or is this a problem with something else? I'm running Postfix/amavisd/dovecot on Slackware 10.1. Regards, Savage

I've been searching, and I can't find any rpms of dovecot stable for RHEL 4. Does anybody know where I can get one? Ever since we went from IMAP-UW to Dovecot, we've been having frequent problems with mbox corruption, and I've read that 1.0 fixes many of those types of problems. Has anybody else found an rpm for RHEL 4 of any Dovecot greater than 1.0? -- Topher Fischer System

http://dovecot.org/test/ Hopefully better release than last one. Fixes several problems test66 had and also some older problems reported in this list. It also contains a pretty large mbox code cleanup, fixing several problems (especially related to X-IMAP/X-IMAPbase headers) and making it a bit faster. Maybe I'll backport it to 1.0-stable too when it looks like it's stable.. BTW. mbox

Hi, 2 or 3 customers have reported that they are having problems downloading their mail via. POP3. I have attached the rawlogs of their transactions and the UID list at the time. Is this because I am using an incompatible UID format or is something else at fault? Deleting the UID list and indexes fixes the problem. I am using Test72.

Hi, This may be a problem with my config file but I am finding that customers (and more importantly my boss) that are using outlook express when using test66/67 (upgraded from test60 + from address patch) are having message reappear after being fully deleted (not just marked) but are unreadable, sometimes blank headers appear too but again no message. Since it is affecting my boss he has told me

http://dovecot.org/test/ - Several mbox fixes, upgrade recommended for test68 mbox users - Possibly fixes some IMAP hangs where Dovecot just stopped replying - Fixed delay-newmail workaround. It was badly broken before. And somewhat off topic advertisement: I got a bit distracted from Dovecot a week ago when a guy started mailing me about wanting to write an irssi2 client as a project to

I'm mainly just curious, but what version of dovecot is considered to be stable enough to be running in a production environment? We're running the 0.99.13 version shipped with FC3 and, while experiencing great performance gains over UW-IMAP, we have hit a couple of snags here and there (random and infrequent characters at the beginning of a mailbox, periodic duplication of a message

http://dovecot.org/test/ Not much has happened, but the APPEND bugfix is important since it was broken in test73 (at least). Summer makes me tired and lazy. :( I've been trying to get keywords implemented in maildir. Hopefully works soon.. After that I'll create 1.0-stable2 (ugh. any other naming ideas?) branch of the code before merging the new master/config code. - Fixed APPEND

http://dovecot.org/ It's hot in here. Something like 25-30c for many days now. My brains don't work in that heat. So, this is still not an 1.0-alpha1. I'll put it out when I think the release will actually be fully working :) Changes since test76: - Fixes to FETCHing MIME body parts, especially with message/rfc822 attachments. We hadn't been handling this entirely correctly

Hi, I'm getting a very small amount of users getting message not found errors while downloading mail via POP. By the time they inform me and I switch on rawloging for them it works again. Any ideas where this is going wrong? Or at least a way I can diagnose it? It seems to have been happening since Alpha 1. Currently using pre-release of Alpha4. Regards Andrew -- Andrew Hutchings

If i try to connect as root (dovecto 1.0) with wrong password doveco exit with an auth error robyt:~# telnet dns pop3 Trying x.x.x.x Connected to dns. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user root +OK pass [wrong] -ERR Authentication failed. but if the password is correct dovecot exit but with another error: user root +OK pass [correct] -ERR [IN-USE] Internal login failure.

Hi, I don't know if this has been covered or not as I have been out of action most of the last few weeks getting married and stuff. My query / slight problem is when I re-install an IMAP client or change client all mails that have been read so far show an empty header with the date set back to 1970 but the mails are fully readable. New mails that weren't read in a previous client show

Is dovecot still considered unreliable when combined with NFS? Is this true for mbox only, or Maildir as well? If dovecot Is still considered unreliable with NFS, how about having a dovecot mode that would chain into procmail for delivery, so that dovecot doesn't (necessarily) have to reinvent that wheel? Thanks!

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"
