similar to: Pop-before-smtp and MySQL?

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

Hi, This is off-topic I know, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I'm running postfix 2.2.x, dovecot 0.99, and it's working great, I wanted pop-before-smtp functionality, so I fired up the suggested perl daemon in the dovecot docs.. This seems to work, I ran tests, it was picking up the ip's, putting them in the .db file, and postfix was able to read them.

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.

I am using stdlib module''s validate_re function to validate parameters passed to a parameterized class as pasted here: http://pastebin.com/7eYAeLEa . The validation works fine however when I run this manifest locally using ''puppet apply'' command where puppet execution stops if a validation test fails. However when I use it in client-server model then I do see a

Dear list, I am planing to set up dovecot-imapd on my production-mail server which currently only runs pop3 via qpopper on debian-sarge. It would be best, if I could only use imapd and use the existing pop3- server (qpopper) as it is. Is this possible? Can the user both use pop3 (qpopper) and imapd (dovecot) in parallel then? Where does dovecot-imapd store its mails? Does it store its mail in

Hello, does anybody know how to make XUIDLs compatible to qpopper? I'm migrating from qpopper and one of my test-migration-accounts leaves the mail on the server. As soon as I switch to dovecot it downloads the mails again and again.. bye! Dominik

Hello, I'm attempting to move form qpopper 4.1 to Dovecot 2.2.5 on Linux. When a user checks POP mail qpopper seems to make a .username.pop temporary file in the same /var/mail directory as the mbox INBOX file. Watching what dovecot does I don't see this happening. Is this .pop file a lock file or just a temporary file? If its a temp file does dovecot do the same thing elsewhere?

Qpopper has a compile time option '--enable-auto-delete Automatically delete downloaded msgs' Is there anything similar in dovecot. I'm trying to migrate from qpopper to dovecot any help is appreciated.

We have an older mail server using qpopper and the mbox format which we need to update to dovecot and maildir format. I have read through the docs on migrating from mbox to maildir, as well as a few nuggets on how to migrate from qpopper to dovecot, and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on best practices for this specific migration. Would the built in dovecot conversion plugin be a

package logcheck-database tags 125794 pending tags 191637 pending thanks I've been running the latest version of qpopper from unstable for a few days and I've added the following rules to CVS: ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ in.qpopper\[[0-9]+\]: connect from [._[:alnum:]-]+$ ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ in.qpopper\[[0-9]+\]: \(v[.[:digit:]]+\) POP login by user

Hi. It seems that dovecot is using the current time, not a maildir file's mtime for INTERNALDATE when a message is re-indexed: $ cd Index $ rm -rf .INBOX $ cd ../Maildir/cur $ stat * File: `1392914632.P54451Q0M08633.smtpin01,S=2215,W=2249:2,' Size: 960 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 1048576 regular file Device: 36h/54d Inode: 11132959 Links: 1 Access: (0600/-rw-------)

Hi All, What are my e-mail serving options? I need to host POP, IMAP and SMTP. I must admit that non-windows e-mail hosting has always been a chore for me. I remember QMail and QPopper IIRC. -Jason

Hi, I did some performance testing with dovecot and qpopper, if anyone is interested.. Hardware: Dual Xeon 2.8 with HT enabled (dmesg sees 4 cpu-s), 1 GB RAM, SCSI RAID 1 with 2x Maxtor Atlas 10K V disks. Software: CentOS 4.3, Qpopper 4.08 in standalone mode vs Dovecot 1.0-0_19.rc6, ext3 filesystem Mailbox format Mbox, tested Pop3 with PAM authentication My setup had 15 test users with 15

I'd like to revisit and old post if I may, will/does Dovecot support the old qpopper "Bulletin" ability? Basically I need a simple way of posting bulletins to all domain users. Qpopper maintained a bulletin db for each user and sent them the next bulletin in sequence. Thanks in advance Kevin

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 List, what do you think is the best way to migrate (to a new maschine) round about 30000 mboxes (Qpopper) with an amount of 43Gigs data, to maildir format (Dovecot). I think there are two ways: 1. - stop services (smtp and pop3) on the old maschine - copy the mboxes to the new maschine - run a conversion script (for excample: "Perfect_maildir" http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/)

Heya, We are in the process of migrating from qpopper to dovecot as POP3 server (and IMAP as well) and we hit the UIDL issue with dovecot. Qpopper uses its own algorithm to create UIDL values and if you set it up to write them down in the mbox file as X-UIDL, then dovecot can use them (pop_uidl_reuse = yes). But if you don't use that feature from qpopper, than X-UIDLs are missing and there

I currently have a Centos server with Sendmail and Qpopper supporting about 50 mail users. I am planning to replace Qpopper with Dovecot to allow some users to have IMAP access to their mail (others will still use POP3.) Is there anything special to be aware of in setting up this migration? Thanks for your comments. Gerald

I''ve got qualcomm''s qpopper2.2, and am not sure if its vulnerable. The advisory mentions pop and imap servers, but only says: version of IMAP (Section B). If your POP server is based on the University of Washington IMAP server code, you should also upgrade to the latest version of IMAP. Until you can take one of these actions, I installed the new imapd about 3

It also got the bulletin out to new users without admin intervention.
