similar to: Multiple Mail Environments?

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 =

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

OK - here's whay I need to make it work for my Linuxconf compatible authentication system. First - a question: Will this work? I can find docs on "virtualfile. auth virtualfile { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 userdb = passwd-file /etc/vmail/passwd.%d passdb = passwd-file /etc/vmail/shadow.%d user = root } Then - since the dmain name selects the passwd file, if there were a

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

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

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

What would cause this? dovecot: Jul 31 19:31:17 Error: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Resource temporarily unavailable -- Marc Perkel - marc at perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com

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 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

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

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.

The setup is as follows: mail_uid = mail mail_gid = mail mail_location =

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.

Having a hard time figuring out something that is supposed to be easy. Tryiong to configure Dovecot so that it provides authentication to Exim for outgoing smtp.

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
