Help! I just noticed this error this morning, we have been getting a lot of these in rc28 and rc29, not in rc27 or before: Apr 6 07:22:52 karst dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(jaearick): mbox file /var/mail/j/jaearick was modified while we were syncing, check your locking settings Pine coughed up an internal error, no core dump, and dovecot basically doubled the size of my mailbox by

Timo, I see where at least one other person reported this, but here goes. I went from rc24 to rc25 this morning, and I got an assert and core from my own mailbox withing five minutes: Mar 2 06:52:26 karst dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(jaearick): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 408: assertion failed: (need_space == (uoff_t)-mails[idx].space) Mar 2 06:52:26 karst dovecot: [ID 107833

Gang, For those who asked about making a Solaris system a Kerberos client to Active Directory, the magic document to have is: http://www.connectathon.org/seam1.0/files/c0101.htm See the section "How to Configure a SEAM Client Using a Windows 2000 KDC". SEAM was Sun's Kerberos client stuff in Solaris 8; it is just there as part of Solaris 9 and 10. These instructions apply if

Help, new to dovecot... I want to get some output from my test sessions to confirm that SSL pop and imap are working. How does one get debug output from dovecot? How does one see that dovecot is using SSL in a transaction? I configured dovecot 0.99.13 with: CC=gcc CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl \

Hi, After searching gmane.mail.imap.dovecot on the topic, and wiki.dovecot.org, I'm still clueless on how to use RFC 2087 quotas in dovecot with the quota plugin. How come no wiki doc? My setup: Solaris 9, mbox format. Both the filesystem for INBOXes (/var/mail) and the user's home directories have filesystem-based quotas imposed. For example: % quota -v joeblow Disk quotas for

Help... Dovecot 1.0alpha1 hung up today with nothing working and the following spewing to my syslog: pipe() failed: Too many open files My setup: Solaris 9, just using imap, mbox format. The various "max" settings in dovecot.conf use the defaults. Suggestions on what to change in fovecot.conf to keep this from happening? Jeff Earickson Colby College

Timo, Attached is gdb information from core dumps related to the following assert in test-80: IMAP(username): file mbox-sync-update.c: line 442 (mbox_sync_update_header_from): assertion failed: (ctx->mail.uid == 0 || ctx->mail.uid_broken || ctx->mail.uid == mail->uid) My setup: Solaris 9, mbox format. test-80 compiled with gcc 4.0.1 using the following configure options: CC=gcc

Hi, My setup: Solaris 9, /var/mail is NFS mounted from another Solaris 9 box, home directories and dovecot index stuff is on local ufs filesystems. I upgraded from alpha4 to a5 about 36 hours ago. Dovecot is configured like so during the build: VERSION=1.0.alpha5 CC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure

If its too hard for them to setup the pop3 catch all, we can probably put some mapping in place to smtp froward mail to their server. This is more complex on our part so would prefer not to do it that way, but its an option and will require not setup on their part other than make sure their server does not accept mail for anyone other than our server. dovecot-request@dovecot.org wrote: >

Hi, I've been lurking on the list since Spring, planning to replace UW-IMAP with dovecot 1.0 sometime this summer. The recent thread on "1.0" has not given me a good feeling about seeing it before summer's end. So I wonder if I should use dovecot-1.0-test-xx code or dovecot-stable-[date] code (which seems to change every day, how stable is that???). This is confusing,

Help! Our students are back and they are pounding my dovecot server to death (ie "Login process died too early - shutting down" or "too many open files" type crash). I've had my third crash today. My setup: Solaris 10, imap and imaps, 3K users coming in via horde webmail. My current connection settings are: login_max_processes_count = 2048 login_max_connections = 4096

Timo, After installing beta8 on Solaris 10 sparc and starting it for the first time, I noticed this in my syslog: May 14 19:35:45 emerald dovecot: [ID 475045 mail.info] Dovecot v1.0.beta8 starting up May 14 19:35:47 emerald dovecot: [ID 536776 mail.error] stat(~) failed: No such file or directory The only appearance of the tilde (~) in my dovecot.conf is here: default_mail_env =

Hi, I am stuck at rc13 because rc14 and rc15 have both failed to keep up with imap connections on my (slow old) system. I have the problem where if a lot of people check their email at once (like at the top of the hour) then my load goes way up and things slow to a crawl. My setup: Solaris 10 on an E220R, mbox format, imap and imaps only. I also use "login_process_per_connection =

Timo, This might be a bit vague, but I have noticed that rc19 seems to have broken the read/unread/reply flags in imap. My officemate has had problems with messages that are read and marked as read then mysteriously get remarked as unread the next time email is checked. I've had problems where I reply to a message and it does not get marked as "answered". We didn't see this

Hi, Could you say a few words about Dovecot and POP/IMAP to an NFS mounted filesystem? I thought I saw on the dovecot webpage that NFS is "no way" with 0.99 and "maybe" with 1.x. I was looking for the FAQ and couldn't find it. My setup is like so: My mail server is a Solaris 9 system, running sendmail/procmail, and qpopper POP. Mail is stored in mbox format. The

Hi, I saw the zlib-plugin reference in the alpha4 ChangeLog notes are searched the list for info about it. The only reference I found was from Timo back in March 2005. Questions: 1) Is this going to become a standard part of version 1.0? 2) Any plans or ability to make it read/write to a gzipped mailbox, or is this possible? Or will it always be read-only? 3) How does a mailbox get gzipped?

Hi, Has a patch against 3.2.2p1 been posted for bug 245, the bug that gives the following syslog complaint? open /dev/tty failed - could not set controlling tty: No such device or address I hit this when upgrading from 3.1p1, solaris 8, using Sun Forte 6 C compiler. I would get authenticated at login, but my shell would never get going. I had to roll back to 3.1p1. ** Jeff A. Earickson,

Hi, I am almost ready to convert from UW-imap to dovecot 1.0 stable for my imap use. I hacked UW-imap to touch a file in the user's home directory so I can always tell the last time they used imap. My hack looks something like this: if(authenticated) { touchfile = (char *) malloc((strlen (home) + 15); sprintf(touchfile,"%s/.imapd.last",homedir); fd =

Hi, I installed 3.0.2p1 on our Solaris 8 systems this week (new to ssh), and when I look at the process list for sshd, I see: root 14547 1 0 10:35:29 ? 0:00 /opt/openssh/sbin/sshd root 14548 14547 0 10:35:36 ? 0:01 /opt/openssh/sbin/sshd Process 14547 is the deamon listening on port 22, but process 14548 is my connection from elsewhere. I consider it a design

Hi, I was brave enough to upgrade from UW-imap to stable 1.0 20050725 today for our IMAP service.
