Hi, I found that dovecot have many nice features. Now I write because I'm tring to setup the dovecot server, I would substitute a qpopper daemon (patched for mysql authentication) The problem I find is to set up the pop-before-smtp using sql (mysq) as written in http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/PopBSMTPAndDovecot (Waiting for post_login ;-) I would use the script popbsmtp.sh and not a perl

I need pop-before-smtp (let's not discuss the advisability of the method), but I'm annoyed at the inefficiency of the classical perl script that parses the logs. A long time ago I modified the perl to add the tuple (IP, time) to an SQL table that the MTA looks at, and to clean up periodically. I found that this was the best way to deal with multiple servers that have to share an SQL

I'm using the latest version of dovecot on my FreeBSD 4.x box with OpenPKG to keep other services up to date. Now...I'm able to get pbsmtp to allow relaying through postfix on this server using UW IMAP, but I would like to get dovecot working with relaying...but pbsmtp is not adding the ip when I uncomment the dovecot section after I authenticate. The log is below: [root at

Bonjour a Tous, I would like to generate (on the fly) a list "popbeforesmtp" when dovecot POP/IMAP authentication succeed. Intended Format will/should be such as: 'timestamp_in_second' user_id remote_ip one user per line. My guess we have all the needed information within dovecot to make such list. But I have seen no way to 'trick' dovecot (dovecot-1.0.alpha3)

Does anyone have a patch or information resource on implementing POP before SMTP with sendmail and DoveCot? I implemented it using a qpopper patch before we swiched to DoveCot for Maildirs. We have been using DoveCot for almost a year now and love it better than any other IMAP or POP3 server.

Hi First of all thanks to the authors of dovecot. It's a pleasure to work with it. I would like to ask, if somebody has an idea about how I can combine all mailusers (dovecot pop/imap & sendmail smtp) into one db, given that I'd like to use sasl with CRAM-MD5 as authentication mechanism to ensure security. The idea behind my question is, that it is easier to administer all mail

Hi, I have setup dovecot to log all successful pop3 and imap logins into /var/log/mail.log I want to use pop-before-smtp to process the log file and write a .db file where sendmail can look up ip addresses that are allowd to relay. mail.log entries look like this: dovecot: 2006-01-26 17:22:28 Info: pop3-login: Login: user=<planat25>, method=PLAIN, rip=213.83.32.125, lip=192.168.1.98

Hi, Having some problems with the default pattern in the pop-before-smtp.pl.conf file for dovecot. Also the one off the dovecot wiki doesn't seem to work and since I can't seem to figure out how these patterns work I hoping someone could help me out with a custom pattern. This is what my mail log looks like: Apr 8 23:30:40 nemesis dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<bjorn>,

Hello everybody, I have a question, though I'm not sure if it's a matter of dovecot or postfix. Or if it's even possible to do at all. If I understand it correctly, SMTP authentification is done via SASL. When a user wants to login Postfix queries an external user database (dovecot). Therefore the SMTP-users are identical to the IMAP/POP-users. I want to achieve the following: I

All, I was wondering if it is possible to use Dovecot as both incoming and outgoing. I have a friend that I am helping build a server, and he plans on using Dovecot for POP/IMAP and Postfix for SMTP and mailbox storage. If I understand right, Dovecot can handle both services and that is the path I would like him to take for easier maintenance. Can someone confirm this?

Hi! Im using postfix+postfixadmin+mysql+courier-imap i just implemented pop-before-smtp[1], my problem is after recieving the mails i connect to the server using telnet and try to send spam using the mail server it did send it didn't ask for authentication anymore. i'm not sure how this pop-before-smtp really works but i was thinking how should i secure the server in this kind of

Hi, I'm trying to use pop-before-smtp with Dovecot IMAP (not running pop3). Pop-before-smtp has fixes to work with the fact that Thunderbird holds the Dovecot Imap connection open and therefore doesn't record regular 'login' entries in maillog. Problem is that pop-before-smtp relies on Dovecot recording a disconnect in the maillog when an Imap client disconnects. Dovecot

Hello, I just thought I would write this in case its useful to anyone. I've used dovecot for a while, as its so easy to set up, its fast and it and just "works". I recently wanted to be able to send via my server after pop3s authentication. I'm also running debian (testing) which utilises exim4 by default. I found no information about how to do it with this combination of

Folks - With Dovecot 1.0.7, we're seemingly unable to authenticate users for out-going SMTP access who are not residing directly within the main system passwd/shadow files. (I.e. the users seeded within our non-system "dovecot" userdbs & passwd files have no "smtp-auth" joy! (Ye olde "Relaying denied. Proper authentication required") I've mucked around

I'm running Dovecot IMAP and POP3 on Debian. But it look's like it's keeping mail in the user's inbox on the server until it's deleted by the user. I thought POP servers deleted email as soon as it was downloaded, but apparently not, according to dovecot.org. Is there something in the Dovecot conf I can do to get rid of all this redundant crud? I see several conversations on

Hello all, I'm trying to understand when exactly the variable substitution happens in Dovecot, as I get different results in the LDA and in the POP/IMAP server. Here's my general setup: - Postfix MTA, delivers mail via Dovecot LDA - users list sits in a database - mail directory is stored in the database, but with Dovecot variables inside Delivery works perfectly fine,

Hi List I'm currently in the process of migrating my dovecot imap/pop users to a new server and have to extract their passwords in order to import them into the new system (different password encryption schemes). I've tried enabling auth_* debug parameters in my dovecot.conf in the hope that this would result in logging plaintext passwords to the dovecot log. However dovecot does not log
