hi all, I am hoping to convert a 350K user qpopper installation using mbox to dovecot and maildir (pop3 only). many of the users "leave mail on server", and qpopper's UIDL format isn't (yet) supported by dovecot. since the UIDLs have been written by qpoppper to the existing mbox files (and will be preserved when the mboxes are converted to maildir) it would be possible to do

Hi Timo, Just a quick question: do index files still need removing when upgrading from 1.0-stable (as in the testXX series) or will Dovecot regenerate them automatically? I'm expecting to go with 1.0-stable on Tuesday for my 20,000 users (as that's what I've been testing), but if we see lots of index issues, I may want to upgrade to alpha1 (or later) fairly soon afterwards and it

Hello All (possibly again) I did send a messge earlier, but it may have been eaten by the mail system. I've now managed to get dovecot started, and I'm now getting "Missing protocol from server name 'imap'" This is somewhat confusing. Does it mean that I have somewhere called my server imap? or is it talking about it missing a protocol called imap? if it's meant

Hello CentOS, anyone can help me? i'm trying to install dovecot on my CentOS [root at cumi ~]# yum install dovecot --noplugins Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Nothing to do [root at cumi ~]# anyone has an idea? since i already search dovecot, and there is a dovecot package [root at cumi ~]#

my mailsystem is using postfix and virtual mailbox which stored in mysql db. SMTP AUTH is using PAM, pam-mysql to authenticate against a mysql db. I installed dovecot 0.99-14. In the dovecot example config file it mentioned that auth_passdb can check against thru PAM but auth_userdb didn't Does it mean that auth_userdb should use other means e.g. /etc/passwd, shadow, vpopmail, etc and in my

Hello, I have a setup where each user has different mailbox formats (some use only /var/spool/mail/user) mailbox format, some is stored in mbx format ~/INBOX or ~/mbox and some is stored in maildir format in ~/Mail/ I currently use UW-IMAP to read /var/spool/mail/... and the mbx format mailboxes in ~/INBOX and mutt to read ~/Mail/... (the maildirs in ~/Mail/ are created by procmail rules) Does

http://dovecot.org/test/ Keywords are finally stored in maildir filenames and listed in "dovecot-keywords" file. It should be possible to just rename 0.99.x's .customflags file to dovecot-keywords (but it can't be renamed back after modification). Also fixed another uid/sequence mixup bug with setting keywords in general (in mbox too). Fixed SHA1 checksum generation with

Hi, I am using SMTP-AUTH over TLS with sendmail, to allow remote users to authenticate and send mail via my server, and this uses saslauthd to authenticate users. I have set up saslauthd with the "MECH=rimap" mechanism, so it uses the local IMAP server, Dovecot, for authentication. I want to do this because Dovecot is set up to use /etc/passwd for user credentials (so I don't

Hi, I'm running dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1 in RHEL4 and a couple of hours ago, I could not longer login in the imap or pop3 service. I noted that I have a process like this: root 8130 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 16:55 0:00 [dovecot-auth] <defunct> It this ok to have a defunct proccess? I can not kill this process. I have to stop the dovecot service, killall pop3-login and

I am converting a Debian box running Postfix, Courier and MySQL to a CentOS box running Postfix, Dovecot and MySQL. I have the Postfix with MySQL support taken care of with the RPM from the centosplus repo. It appears that the stock RPM for Dovecot comes with Postgres, but not MySQL support. It looks like I need to download the source RPM and then rebuild it with MySQL support. Could

I've got some of our busiest users now using Dovecot instead of UW-IMAP with mbox-format mailboxes and predominantly Outlook Express as the client. Doing some perfomance monitoring (with Solaris 8 process accounting), it looks like Dovecot needing to read only 30-50% of the disk blocks needed by UW-IMAP, but I was hoping for better! What seems to happen, is that most of the connections

I'm using the dovecot-stable from 7/30, authenticating against an OpenLDAP server. From time to time, dovecot stops responding to new queries. It seems to be a self-correcting problem, lasting about 20 minutes. Here's how it starts: Aug 18 19:38:23 cliff dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity [150.253.42.12] Aug 18 19:38:36 cliff dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity

Hi - We have dovecot version : 0.99.11 release : 2.EL4.1 on Centos 4.2, with an LDAP backend (Samba PDC) and pam set to authenticate against LDAP. Dovecot is set to use pam for authentication. It uses mbox, and the machine has very little load (95% idle, no memory pressure). Every 36 hours or so, no users are able to login to imap (we have only imap enabled). Other services that use the same

I am spoiled with Yum: never have had a dependency problem until today.

Hi, I've been lurking on the list since Spring, planning to replace UW-IMAP with dovecot 1.0 sometime this summer. The recent thread on "1.0" has not given me a good feeling about seeing it before summer's end. So I wonder if I should use dovecot-1.0-test-xx code or dovecot-stable-[date] code (which seems to change every day, how stable is that???). This is confusing,

Help! Our students are back and they are pounding my dovecot server to death (ie "Login process died too early - shutting down" or "too many open files" type crash). I've had my third crash today. My setup: Solaris 10, imap and imaps, 3K users coming in via horde webmail. My current connection settings are: login_max_processes_count = 2048 login_max_connections = 4096

I saw the latest update announcements on the announce list, so I ran "yum check-update" and did not see seamonkey in the list. Which I guess makes sense, since it's a name change from mozilla. However, devhelp is in the list, and "yum update devhelp" pulls in seamonkey as a dependency. This seems like a sort of backdoor way to get seamonkey onto the system. Did these

Hi, I need some guidance to pinpoint a potential problem and I'm not sure where is the problem.

Hi I have Redhat ES4.0 with dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1 installed. Reading a post Outlook Duplicates issue is still killing me, there seems to be asolution to this, I was wondering when this will be available on redhat es40? # Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format which is # Dovecot's default, so if you're building a new server it would be a good # idea to
