similar to: LDAP mailLocation weirdness

Hi, I was heaving some grave problems with dovecot's ldap client that left me with the following settings for virtual users: -------CUT------- mbox: data=/virtual/oeush.at/home/f.someone/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/f.someone.oeush.at -------CUT------- data in that case was correct, yet the INBOX location was wrong, this should have been /virtual/oeush.at/var/mail/f.someone.oeush.at instead. My

Hi, I would like to try implementing user specific default_mail_env's as described here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/MailLocation using the LDAP attribute 'mailLocation'. However, I have been unable to find any LDAP schema which contains mailLocation. What schema is this attribute part of? Thanks, Jason Pepas

hi, For some of our customers we provide a pop3 access, and after an upgrade to alpha3, it is not working anymore. All of our data is ldap based and everything is working as before for our IMAP customers, but our POP3 users fail. Obviously the pop3 login process does not read the data correctly that comes from ldap. after enabling mail_debug, I saw the following error in our log:

hi, I'm trying to get this app running under wine http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=2002 It is a free Austrian accounting software. So far I have managed to install it and even use it to some degree but I have some strange optical "sideeffects": #1: the menu bar on the right side duplicates, see screenshot here: http://www.bestsolution.at/documents/eufibu_wine01.jpg #2:

hi, I am just playing a bit with the dovecot SASL plugin for postfix and so far my tests have been very successfull, can't wait to get the cyrus-sasl beast replaced. However, I found a potential problem when doing some "illegal" stuff on the postfix side: -------CUT------- cerberus:/var/log# telnet smtptest 25 Trying 192.168.99.99... Connected to smtptest.bestsolution.at. Escape

Hi, we have recently been hit by a couple of brute force password attacks against dovecot. So what I want to do now is to add dovecot to fail2ban in order to block further attacks. However, I don't seem to be able to find out password verifification failures for our LDAP based user data. The only thing I see are loads of lines like these in the logfiles: -------CUT------- dovecot: Nov

Hi, we are facing some weird performance issues after we upgraded on of our mail servers to a new Opteron 64bit machine. The problem we are facing is that mail retrieval from external clients is incredibly slow. Fetching a mail with say a size of 3MB takes 7 minutes vs. sending exactly the same mail back to our postmaster account is only a question of seconds. I've verified this with

I?m considering moving from maildir to mdbox, but don?t quite see how I should do the conversion with minimal downtime. Our userdb is ldap, and the we use this setting to point to the users maildirectory: user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:%$:INDEX=/indexes/%1u/%1.1u/%u,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ i.e. every user has a "mailMessageStore" attribute in LDAP that points to

hi, I am trying to set up dovecot with digest-md5 as authentication mechanism and openldap as passdb. My problem is ... that I just can't get it working. PLAIN authentication works as expected, but no luck with digest-md5. An excerpt from the two configuration files: dovecot.conf: --------CUT-------- auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain digest-md5 auth_userdb = ldap

I have a strange problems with quota on v2.0.14. We have an ldap user directory, and all users should have a mailQuota defined there. My problem is that some users gets the quota enforced, while others don't, and "doveadm user" doesn't seem to agree with "doveadm quota ge gett" Ref: $ doveadm user janfrode at example.net userdb: janfrode at example.net home

Hi, we've been using dovecot for the past 2 years or so for our 3K+ mail accounts and have never regretted our step. Yet from time to time there appear to be, how shall I say, "major" problems in the daemon that of course are no reason to whine and complain about because dovecot is OSS and everybody can do something about it. And that's where I would like to make a suggestion.

Hi, we are just testing postfix 2.3 in combination with its new dovecot SASL plugin. Now what we would like to have was dovecot SASL without acutally running dovecot ... The reason for this is because we have the "real" dovecot running on a different server than the postfix instance and it would be nice if it would not be necessary running an "full" dovecot on that server for

hi, I've a debian sid based samba 3.0.2a-1 installation running on one of our customers' servers. Everything works nicely (samba 3 & LDAP rocks!!!!), except for the printers. Upon each start, samba has all printers visible and ready. smbclient -L localhost shows the printer shares and all windoze clients can print to them. However, after some time (a day or so), samba simply forgets

Hi, after setting up a KVM based virtual guest on one of our virtualization servers, we see dovecot die on that virtual guest regularly because of an alleged time shift. The virtual guest is Centos 5.4 based with dovecot 1.2.8 (at first we also tried with the original 1.0.7 (?) dovecot shipped with Centos). I wrote "alleged time shift" because there is no timeshift whatsoever, or

Hi, I'm using Dovecot with LDAP. My users have an home directory and a field named 'mailMessageStore'. Then the full mailbox path is 'homeDirectory/mailMessageStore' In dovecot-ldap.conf i configured as follows : user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(cn=%u)) user_attrs = qmailUID=uid,qmailGID=gid,homeDirectory=home,mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:~/%$ Everything is

Hallo, I am playing arround with dovecot I hat version 1.0.beta7 running fine. After installing beta9 there is a problem with default_mail_env setting. I have all users in ldap. there is an attribute "mailMessageStore" which contains a relative path to users maildir mailMessageStore: sca/ my mailer completes this relative pathinformation to /var/mail/sca/ therefor I setup

Hi, all. I use dovecot-1.1.11 with OpenLDAP backend. but i found the mail_location is not correct. How can i override mail_location setting in dovecot.conf? LDAP user data and dovecot config are attached below. in dovecot config, mail_location is: ---- mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/%Ld/%Ln/:INDEX=/%Lh/%Ld/%Ln/ ---- but the correct maildir should be 'homeDirectory' +

I'd previously had dovecot running on a Debian server but recently migrated to Suse. The nice, simple setup for dovecot on debian is not as easy using the dovecot sources. My lack of experience I'm afraid! I'd like to continue to use dovecot, especially as my current maildir directories are all set up ready to be use again. On suse (sles9) I have users authenticating by LDAP. In

hi, I've just upgraded our dovecot installation to the most recent debian package (0.99.20050712) and now I'm running into some weird problems. Virtual (LDAP based) users cannot login anymore, the logfile shows this: -------CUT------- dovecot: Aug 02 12:34:25 Error: Logins with UID 200 (user some.user) not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file) -------CUT------- yet
