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

If its too hard for them to setup the pop3 catch all, we can probably put some mapping in place to smtp froward mail to their server. This is more complex on our part so would prefer not to do it that way, but its an option and will require not setup on their part other than make sure their server does not accept mail for anyone other than our server. dovecot-request@dovecot.org wrote: >

I've added a new page to the Wiki that's sort of a Dovecot feature list overview. What I have is a good start but if anyone wants to jump in and contribute, go for it. I added it because there isn't any other place I saw that gives new people an overview of what Dovecot does. I personally passed Dovecot over a few times before somone pointed me back to it.

Ran into an interesting bug in Dovecot delivery. A friend forwards an email to me as an atachment. When I receive it - it comes in as two separate messages. One is the forwarding message which is empty, and the other is the original message that was forwarded but it comes in as if I had got the email directly. If I use exim to deliver the message to the mailbox it works. But when exim pipes

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 =

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

I made yet another new wiki page documenting the mail configuration file. Looks really nice. We can all start working on improving the docs in this file and eventually merge the docs here back into the example config file. http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/MainConfig -- Marc Perkel - marc at perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com

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

Trying this and it doesn't work: passdb = passwd-file /etc/vmail/test.%d Apparently it doesn't expand the %d according to the log file. -- Marc Perkel - marc at perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com

Is there a way to change the name of the .subscriptions file that dovecot looks for to .mailboxlist to be compatible with WU-IMAP? It would be handy for testing and conversion if you had that.

I'm very new to Dovecot - still testing it - and planing to convert in the futire. I see a lot of rapid development here which I like. But I'm wondering if there is any kind of schedule for blessing 1.0 as official - or - what the custom is for a stable release. Just trying to think about when to jump in. I'm fairly brave, but the feature I need we just added today. -- Marc

ok - if I'm using a password/shadow file arrangement, what auth mechanisms besides "plain" should I turn on? -- Marc Perkel - marc at perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com

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 =

Timo, I joined the lemonade list for the new IMAP sending protocol and I mage the following suggestion about using IMAP as a front end for SMTP. The idea would be that a client could authenticate to IMAP, then ask for a tunnel to the SMTP server. - Here's my message. I thought I'd get people thinking. --------------------- OK thanks. I would clarify what I'm proposing. I looked
