Howdi. I'm new to dovcot (just succeded in compiling on unixware 713 today) I'm noww configuring for tests on other port. The sample configuration file is pretty well documented, however, I don't understand how I can firstt authenticate against passwd/shadow if not found against pgsql. What's the syntax? Please cc responses as I'm subscribed to digest TIA Reghards --

Hi everyone, This is my second try with dovecot, and still no luck. What I want is twig to work with dovecot on the localhost address .

Dear Timo et all, I wanted to put dovecot on production on my real server but, be it with the beta1 you left on my machine yesterday on beta2, when I launch dovecot, I have tons of messages in syslogs like : imap-login: can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused. What did I do wrong?? TIA -- Olivier PRENANT Tel: +33-5-61-50-97-00 (Work) 15, Chemin des

Hi Timo et all. At last I found with unix socket wouldn't connect and it works now. However after auth, imap crashes with signal 6. This happens on 1 machine, the other (unixware too) work fine. The stack trace doesn't make much sense here it is anway... Core image of imap (process p1) created CORE FILE [makedev in cmd-status.c@sys/mkdev.h] SIGNALED 8 (fpe code[FPE_INTDIV]

I'm trying to set up a temporary mailserver using Debian Sarge and Dovecot 1.0 with maildir format. My only previous experience has been on a simple imap server. I have read the wiki documentation and searched the archives, but can't tie down my problem. The log tells me Info: passwd-file(anne) : unknown user. I have set auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.passwd auth_passdb =

Many thanks for helping me solving my problems After a few conf tweakings, dovecot works so well that I may put it on prod tomorrow. Many thanks to Timo!!! A few questions though: I had to raise the number of auth_process to 10 to avoid tons of messages "can't connect to socket 'default' is that ok? After tweaking my postgresql database to authenticate virtual users I notices

Since I put my hands on dovecot, I had this recuring problem at startup: Imap-login would'nt connect to the 'default' socket. I've been strugling with the fact that it would eventually connect on a slow or moderely fast machine but not on a really fast machine. According to Unixware doc, the FIRST connect ALWAYS returns -1 and errno=EINPROGRESS AFAICT, imap loop is like this:

Hi, I'm still struggling with dovecot and Unixware: On my main server, I have two problems: 1- imap-login has great difficulties to connect to 'default'. I have traced it to accept in auth_master_listener.c witch fails with errno=71 (EPROTO) weird... 2- It some times works and I can log-in but imap gets killed by signal 6 (abort?)

Howdy, I have dovecot installed on CentOS (rhel3 clone), and I'm using Dag's dovecot package. I have postfix setup to deliver to Maildir, in /home. The /home volume was formatted with JFS. In this setup, both Outlook and Thunderbird would not show any new mail unless they were completely shutdown and restarted. I have moved /home to an ext3 formatted and all is well. Anyone have

What do I need to change in the .conf? Las thing, I just cant find

We converted from uw-imapd to dovecot but are still having problems with MBX mail folders.

We recently switch from up-imapd to dovecot But many users are reporting that they cannot access certain mail folders. The log file has: imap(dws): Sep 14 00:06:19 Error: File isn't in mbox format: /home/research/dws/mail/TaskDL The files in the logs are "MBX mail folders", not "ASCII English text" as are the folders that can be read under Outlook. Can anyone tell me

I have 0.99.14 installed. I've downloaded the latest version. Does it install over the old one, in parallel, or need an uninstall of the old one? Anne

Is anyone using dovecot on Fedora fc5-devel? I had to rebuild my rpm of alpha4 due to dependencies when I pulled in openssl-0.9.8a (with a whole bunch of other updates). Now when I start my mail client (balsa) it tells me it "Cannot connect to the server: TLS negotiation failed". Dovecot wrote in maillog: "imap-login: Disconnected: rip=1.2.3.4, lip=1.2.3.4, TLS".

http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3612530/PSC.r PSC.r Hi all, I just wrote a program in R by editing it in Microsoft Word and then pasting into the text editor of R. The above is the file. And below is what the console complains.... Why doesn't it recognise 'r'?? I have to mention that at least when I typed this first several lines into the console, the first error didn't

My problem appears to be too simple to be addressed in the documentation, being a linux-to-linux problem. This is a mixed home lan, but the majority of file sharing is done between three linux boxes. All three have a public directory, but the one on box1 is mainly used for file sharing. All of this worked well with our old Samba 2 setup, but has now gone to pieces. Two of the boxes are

What would you think if I just removed it completely from tarball? It doesn't look like it works currently properly, and it probably needs to be changed a bit for each different distribution? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I have pulled in a couple of messages using fetchmail and put them through a procmail filter, which has resulted in the two messages being visible in a file manager in ~/Maildir/Design/new. However, using my Imap account on this box I can't see those messages. Any hints, please? Anne
