Hi, we're trying to migrate from UW imap 2001a-10, which doesn't seem to use the UIDL format documented in the wiki. It seems to use a 16 character long MD5 hash of something. I've tried configuring Dovecot to do the same but the value comes out differently. The main thing that I can see is getting in the way is that the UIDL format is not documented sufficiently. There is no

With a INBOX mbox created by UW IMAP the messages in INBOX mbox contains the X-UIDL field When I use Dovecot POP3 with pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu on the first run, X-UID is inserted, but all messages are downloaded again. What am I missing, I don't want the clients to download the read messages again. Thanks Bertrand Leboeuf leboeuf at emt.inrs.ca

Is there an easy (and secure) way to search your database when you don''t know the number of parameters ahead of time? I can see doing it by concatenating together an sql query, but hopefully rails provides a more elegant way to do this with ActiveRecord without making a ginormous switch statement? For example, lets say my search form has 4 different input boxes. I only want the query

Hello all, Some time before Christmas, a project was started. The task was to enhance an existing LiveCD solution with User-mode Linux. A number of requirements was stated, where the greatest challenge was to fit 10 virtual routers within an old no-name PC with only 256MB Ram. And the solution must still be run from a LiveCD. Thanks to Xen, the task was possible to complete. -But, what does it

Hi! I''m trying to insert binary data into a PostgreSQL database where the field is of type ''bytea''. This works fine if a do Base64 encoding but I just want to do character escaping.

Hello, Is there some things removed from the kernel.org kernels before the get into xen-unstable? I was just about to compile a new dom0 kernel, and couldn''t find the option for Buslogic SCSI driver i xen-unstable kernel synced earlier this morning. I find this a bit strange, as I know the option is there in kernel.org''s 2.6.16-rc2. The config option was somehow lost in 2.6.15

Thank you for the reply of my previous post (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-March/020716.html) now it works, but I have another question about migrating pop3 account (with leave mail on server) to maildir. On this post -> http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-February/011464.html you explain how to create dovecot-uidlist preserving UIDVALIDITY. Is there someone that have

Hi, I''m working on a web app that allows users to submit links to external sites. I''m curious if there are any special security considerations I should take aside from escaping the user input with h( )? Is it safe to directly link_to h(user_inputted_url), h(user_inputted_url) or could that be exploited in a way that I''m not thinking of. Thanks. -------------- next

Hello, I am in the process of migrating a hosting setup from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. The protocols available to mail clients are IMAP and POP3 both before and after migration. I also wanted to change the mail storage format from MBOX to Maildir. However, at this point I hit a major snag with Dovecot and POP3 UIDL (unique identification listing for POP3 mailboxes). Several of the customers connecting

Currently running dovecot 0.99.12 on a RHEL 3 server. This system used to use UW imap with mbox mailboxes, is now using dovecot with Maildir. (Actual user shell logins are not permitted.) Performance is tremendously improved. However, we still have users that have their client imap root set to the "mail" or "mail/" directory. (Can't reach/change them all easily.)

After migrating our mail server from uw-imap to dovecot at the weekend we've had a few corrupted mbox folders. I assume this is due to messages with bad Content-length headers. Is there any way of checking the Content-length of messages in mbox folders? Thanks -- Ian

OK, I have been running the UW-POP3 server which currently translates all login ids as lowercase (i.e. Anthony becomes anthony). Now the Dovecot server is very flexible and currently I have not found how to translate the upper case characters to lowercase. What configuration setting will translate the userids to lowercase? -- Albert E. Whale, CHS CISA CISSP Sr. Security, Network, Risk

I am migrating from UW's POP3 server (mbox), to Dovecote (mbox -> maildir). Anyway, I am concerned about the Logging details offered by Dovecot, as I manage several details from the logging information provided by UW's Syslog information. Here's a sample of the UW information: Oct 7 22:08:39 ns6 ipop3d[15432]: pop3 service init from 66.207.133.233 Oct 7 22:08:39 ns6

Hello! I have some questions about Wine and how/if it can be used with industrial communication like OPC (MicroSoft Com/DCom objects, DDE and more) My short question is: Can I use Wine to make OPC communication work with a Linux system. OPC "OLE for Process Control" A "general" standard for communication in industrial systems, that unfortunately is totally depending on

Hi, The dovecot docs say that support for the automatic appending of /var/spool/mail to a ~user/mbox (as is done by UW-IMAP) may be implemented in the near future. Is this still the case? And if so, is it far off? Cheers, Terry.

Hi! I am running dovecot 2.1.16 on NixOS (http://nixos.org), and I have been fighting the dynamically loaded dovecot modules/plugins a bit. The problem is that in Nix/NixOS all packages are completely isolated from each other (each package has a separate /lib, /libexec, /bin etc, with only its own files in it). So dovecot has all its modules under

http://dovecot.org/patches/mbox-snarf-plugin.c Also committed to CVS HEAD. Usage: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u protocol imap { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } plugin { mbox_snarf = ~/mbox } If ~/mbox doesn't exist, nothing special is done. If ~/mbox exists, it's treated as INBOX and mails are moved from /var/mail/%u

Hi, today I've finished migration from uw-imap daemons to shiny and fast dovecot. With thanks of dovecot my mail server load average drops by factor of ten even with ancient unix mailboxes. ;-) So, the only thing I've discovered is what POP3 uidls are different than ones used in the uw-imap. Luckily, the difference are only in the format string used in uidl response. So, I've
