similar to: Debian packages of alpha2?

Hi, 0.99 is running nicely on my sarges, but I need pop3_uidl_format = %f for Courier compatibility. I can't find any debs more recent than test22 of over a year ago (those are at http://src.braincells.com/dovecot-test/). Even though google turns up http://hemma.tobbe.nu/debian/mini-dinstall/incoming/dovecot_1.0.test46-1_i386.changes searching for dovecot on packages.debian.org (any

I've packaged 0.99.10.4. Owing to the continued downtime on the Debian servers, I've temporarily put the .debs up on my own site. The URL is http://www.braincells.com/debian/ A backport to woody is also available. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

Hello everybody, sorry for stupid qustion, but I have following problem: I succesfully installed Dovecot on Debian (from source). Now I want to run it. I tryed: # /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot # but nothing happened: # ps -Af | grep dove ....... ps -Af | grep dove # What is wrong? I want Dovecot to serve POP3 over SSL. Many thanks and sorry again :o)

Well, the backports.org people finally installed my backport of the latest stable version of dovecot. Please remove the Braincells apt source form /etc/apt/sources.list and add these lines instead. deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable dovecot openldap2 postgresql openssl deb-src http://www.backports.org/debian stable dovecot (If you are using other backports you can merge dovecot etc.

I finally got some free time and uploaded 1.0alpha4. It will arrive in the archive by tomorrow afternoon. Together with the most recent libssl0.9.8 upgrade I think this will fix the SSL problems users have been facing. -- Jaldhar H.

I uploaded 0.99.10.8 to Debian but I needed the patch below to get it to compile. --- dovecot-0.99.10.8.orig/src/auth/db-mysql.h +++ dovecot-0.99.10.8/src/auth/db-mysql.h @@ -1,7 +1,8 @@ #ifndef __DB_MYSQL_H #define __DB_MYSQL_H -#include <mysql.h> +#include <mysql/mysql.h> +#include <mysql/errmsg.h> struct mysql_connection; struct mysql_request; -- Jaldhar H.

In what must surely be the first sign of the apocalypse, Debian is actually freezing in preperation for a new release. Probably the last day for uploads will be August 17. Is there likely to be another dovecot release by then? In the event of 0.99.10.9 being the released version, are there any other patches Debian users would like me to include? -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at

I thought I'd mention it here because a lot of people have been waiting for me on this. My personal situation is getting saner now so I finally was able to package up 0.99.8.1. The package for sid was uploaded last night and should appear in the archive today. A backport for woody is available from http://www.braincells.com/open/ I have not included POP3, LDAP or SASL2 support for now as I

Dear Timo, What do you think of this? Fyi, I've been getting the same thing lately and I'm wondering if gnutls is to blame? (i've had inexlicable SIGSEGVs in other apps before due to it.) Tomorrow I'll try with openssl but I was wondering if you had any other ideas? -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

Just wondering: Has anyone, or is anyone planning to, build debs for 0.99.12? Jaldhar Vyas, are you still around and doing such things? Paul

As promised yesterday :) BTW. I just found libsqlora8 library yesterday and I've been playing with Oracle mail storage support. Shouldn't take too long to get it working. And the NEWS file once more: v0.99.9 2003-04-28 Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi> * WARNING: mbox rewriting works now faster, but it's less likely to notice external message flag changes (it wasn't

http://dovecot.org/test/ I couldn't break this with Evolution with a few minutes of testing, so here's the first tarball release based on the new indexing code. Try if you're interested, but don't try it on any real mailboxes, or at least keep backups :) Also note that dovecot-uidlist file format has changed a bit, Dovecot 0.99.x isn't able to read it anymore. Things to do:

http://dovecot.org/test/ I still haven't done much real world testing, but I've been thinking about all the potential race conditions a lot since last time and fixed a lot of them. There might still be some.. Changes since -test1: - Locking fixes - A lot more difficult to crash it with corrupted index files - Recent flag works, this time exactly as IMAP RFC says - Maildir syncing

I'm trying to bring dovecot up on Debian/stable using Christof Meerwald's unofficial packages (cmeerw.org/debian/). This package seems to work fine on Debian/testing. There error I'm getting on the stable box is: gnutls_handshake: A TLS fatal alert has been received.(Bad record MAC) Any guesses? -- Jacob Elder

To confuse Dovecot versioning even more, I've added "dovecot-stable" module into CVS. This is a version of Dovecot before the recent keyword changes but with several bugfixes backported to it. It's thought to be mostly stable. I intend to keep it updated with important bugfixes and with other simple bugfixes. Although I'm not sure if I'll make a large code base upgrade

I brought this up a while ago but the submitter is wondering if there has been any progress on this issue. He says: It would be extremely nice to have a little bit more detailed logging, and I believe it doesn't really require that much code. I use now a daemon which logs login (name, ip; as dovecot does), and logout (with name, logout reason if any special) with the numbers of

I upgraded dovecot two weeks ago from 0.99.10-0.rc2 to 0.99.10.4-1woody1 (both from the woody backport packages from braincells.com). Dovecot is using LDAP on a separate machine for authentication. (through stunnel if it matters) At 4:00 am, the LDAP server stops, dumps the ldap database, and then starts back up. Because the LDAP server is stopped, anyone who tries to authenticate during

Today I upgraded my Debian testing server (just personal testing server), and one of the updates was dovecot-common and dovecote-imapd. I passed through the dovecot.conf file changing things so that I would have similar features as before, and everything looked OK. Now, after restarting, and all, I try to connect the the imap server with my user acount, and it passes OK, but when I try to see
