I don't mean to be a troll in any way shape or form. I was on IRC last night and I observed the following convo. below. What do you guys make of it ? [02:14] <bkw__> Let me tell you how chidlish digium and Mark Spencer is. I walk into a restaurant with them all here at Astricon wearing my sangoma shirt and he asked me to leave.

Is it possible for dovecot to strip realms and force lowercasing of usernames? We have a lot of dumb customers who try logging in to pop3 with crap like UsERNAmE and bla at nonexistentdomain.com. All our usernames are lowercase and we have no realms. Trying to get hundreds of customers to fix this is hard and is a significant and costly support burden. It would be nice if dovecot could handle

Is it possible to have folders on read-only partitions in Dovecot 1.0-stable? We have a NetApp fileserver which would probably be accessed via NFS (though iSCSI is possible) and which stores readonly "snapshots" of every directory accessible as .snapshot (but usually hidden from the operating system). It would be very nice to set up a "snapshot" namespace something like

I've noticed that my dovecot.index.cache file has got very large (24MB, which is more than 1/3 of my INBOX size). I've tried deleting (well, renaming) the dovecot.index.* files, and re-opening my INBOX, and the new dovecot.index.cache is only 90KB so far. I'm using dovecot-1.0-stable and mbox format. My mail_cache_fields and mail_never_cache_fields are set to the default. Looking

Hello list. I'm thinking to migrate the hole user db from system users to mysql. I already did it in a test environment, but something is annoying my OCD... I don't quote the variables username and password sent to the mysql server. I know, the mysql user that dovecot uses only has select rights, but it stills bother me, because its possible to do an useless sql code injection. Is there a

We've being running with Dovecot 1.0-stable since Tuesday, and on the whole it's gone very well (meaning nobody's noticed!). My best estimate is we're using half the disk accesses and 2/3 the CPU of UW-IMAP/Qpopper. We've quite a mixture of error messages in the logs, the most worrying of which is that several times we've had a few seconds of "xxx-login: Can't

Hello! I want to upgrade the docevot-installation from v 1.0.5 to 2.1..7 Now I get the following executing doveconf -n -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > /home/mail1/dovecot-2.conf doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:217: add auth_ prefix to all settings inside auth {} and remove the auth {} section completely doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in

It seems that Dovecot gets confused when presented with a header like: From: someone at somewhere.org i.e. with leading whitespace and no "friendly name" This shows up as ""@MISSING_DOMAIN in clients, such as Pine, that believe what Dovecot tells them rather than parsing the headers themselves (e.g. Thunderbird). Here's a sample IMAP session: xyz FETCH 728 ENVELOPE

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

Timo, I've noticed a couple of extra compilation errors in last night's snapshot compared to the snapshot I downloaded on Tuesday, probably due to the int -> bool change :- (gcc 3.3.2 on Solaris 8) mbox-sync.c: In function `mbox_sync': mbox-sync.c:1568: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type index-search.c: In function `search_index_arg':

I've got a problem with subscriptions in 1.0-stable when migrating from UW-IMAP. I've modified the SUBSCRIPTION_FILE_NAME entries as suggested in the Wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration and included the "~/mail/" etc. hidden namespaces. The .mailboxlist files contain entries like "~/mail/somefolder" and the clients have "~/mail/" set as a prefix. In

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

I've been struggling with an odd bug in the latest 1.0-stable (20050427) release. Sometimes Dovecot seems to forget that a message has been read or deleted and marks it unread (or not deleted). As far as I've been able to determine, it seems to happen when 1) There have been several recent deliveries 2) Possibly some of those deliveries are of multiple messages 3) Possibly they are read

Hi all, We moved our Dovecot installation first of all to have all folders and inboxes on NetApps via NFS (with indexes local) then from a physical Solaris 8 4-way UltraSparc server running Dovecot 1.2.5 (32-bit) to a virtualised Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit server with a single virtual processor (in VMWare ESX 3.5) running Dovecot 1.2.8 (64-bit). Since the change, many of our users have experienced

I've got several users testing Dovecot IMAP at the moment, but some of them are also accessing their mail via UW-IMAP at other times. (I've warned them about accessing the same folder simultaneously via UW-IMAP and Dovecot!) In addition, we have special folders "AutoSpam" and "Trash" that pruned using Washington's "mailutil" automatically every so

Hi All, Couple easy questions: 1. How do I view what environment my app is running under (i.e production / testing / development) - I''m not sure what RAILS_ENV is set at, how to I take a look at it? 2. Somehow (?) I have turned logging "off". I''d like to have it back on :s I have files called production.log, test.log, server.log, development.log in /myapp/log/ but

Talk about personal problems! I am using dovecot-0.99.13-4.FC2, and everything has been going fine for months. Earlier this afternoon, Thunderbird's status pane would say 'Sending authenticate login information...' and I would no longer receive email. When I checked with others, they were fine and dandy. I tried kmail, evolution, and even tried webmail. All had connection errors.

I've had complaints from users about "MISSING_DOMAIN" in header fields and I've tracked it down to having "." in an unquoted display name. By my reading of RFC2822 (especially section 4.1) A N Other <a.n.other at somewhere.org> "A. N. Other" <a.n.other at somewhere.org> are legal, but A. N. Other <a.n.other at somewhere.org> is
