similar to: Authentication feature I need

This would make my life a lot easier in migrating to Dovecot. And it should be really easy to implement. Here's how linuxconf does it: Password files are placed in the /etc/vmail directory as follows: /etc/vmail/passwd.domain1 /etc/vmail/shadow.domain1 /etc/vmail/passwd.domain2 /etc/vmail/shadow.domain2 The password and shadow files are exactly the same format as the /etc/password and

I'd like a separate feature for setting umask for index and cache files differently from email files. The reason is that I'm putting indexes in a separate location and I need group create rights in directories. Otherwise what happens is that the first user creates the directories, but the second user for the domain that has a different UID gets an error. default_mail_env =

The default_mail_env is very powerful, but .... If you have multiple databases wouldn't it make sense to have a separate mail environment for each database? For example: userdb passwd { default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u } # Linuxconf passwd-like file with specified location userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/vmail/passwd.%d default_mail_env =

OK - I thought this was going to be easy. Maybe it is. I'm just not that good at reading directions. Trying to use dsync. Getting this error: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) Currently using maildir. The setup is as follows: mail_uid = mail mail_gid = mail mail_location =

I guess Dovecot has an LDA called deliver. What is it and how do I use it? Or is it ready to be used. can't find any docs on it. -- Marc Perkel - marc at perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com

Hi, We are currently moving from linuxconf/dovecot to a dovecot setup with sql support, the problem we currently facing is having a message sent to a aliase delivered to the user email inbox with dovecot-lda, i have created cedrict at mail.vdl and a alias test at mail.vdl, when i send to cedrict at mail.vdl the message is included in the user inbox file, but when i send to test at mail.vdl

Running rc24 and with one user in particular they are getting "(auth) killed with signal 11" when trying to pop email. IMAP works.

I'm running rsync version 3.0.6 in order to migrate a set of objects from an old server to a new one. The set of object to migrate is basically composed of mail dirs which follow a well-defined name pattern, such that I believe it should be easily handled by the --filter option. I'm infact attempting to use the following rsync command in the new server: rsync -auEAXDSvz --delete-after

Did a quick-n-dirty install of 1.1.alpha2 on a Fedora Core 6 server... am getting the following message in the maillog, though there seems to be no problem accessing mail. Error seems to be consistent for all users. Running 1.0.3 on the system previously.

Getting an error on POP only - "Authentication Server Isn't Connected" IMAP works fine. This used to work. not sure what changed.

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

OK - trying to migrate to dovecot and I like what I see so far, but having a hard time getting it to work. I decided to go with the 1.0 version because I need to get away from the ~/Mail namespace. I'm trying to port from a Linuxconf virtual WU-IMAP type config. So - I compiled but then decided I wanted mysql so I tried to reconfigure and now getting compile errors. Looks like I'm

Can't figure out why the login is slow. I telnet to port 143 on localhost. I type: 0 login user password Takes about 10 seconds and it lets me in. I'm using MYSQL and it's a small indexed database on a fast server so it's not the mysql query that's slowing it down. At least I don't think it is. But - kind of stumped. Just wondering if there's something obvious

Or you can implement a policy server yourself. :)The protocol is not complicated, json over http.

I'd like to make a suggestion. Let's drop the Alpha and come out with an official version 1.0. Here's my reasons. The 0.9x version are obsolete and people should be using the 1.0 Alpha versions which seem to me to do everything the previous versions did and more. It's as full featured and stable as all other IMAP servers and in my opinion is ready to be called 1.0. The

I've noticed that a lot of people are using e.g.: mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n Then either they don't have home directory set, or their home directory is the same as the maildir. http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home explains all the problems of not separate home and mail directories. Also whenever I try to suggest using a separate home and mail directory, the answer is

I've never used namespaces and don't quite know what they do. If I add a namespace then do things like shared folders magically appear to users? Also - I wonder if this is possible. I'd like to create a write only shared folder. I know this is unusual but I have a reason. I'd like to have a folder that people can drag spam into to report missed spam. I want to write only so
