Hi there. I understood that in Dovecot 1.0 it should be possible to mix the usage of mbox and maildir mailboxes. I just downloaded, built, and am testing dovecot-stable-20050304. I'm a bit confused as to the terms of namespaces (haven't read that part of the RFC yet), but this does not seem related. Anyway, when I try specifying: default_mail_env = ~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u On

A little problem, which is bugging me: when using PAM authentication, Dovecot (0.99.5) does not set the PAM_RHOST item, so the PAM modules cannot know who the client is. We need this for some PAM module doing access control. Changing passdb-pam.c to pam_set_item it seems trivial, but I'm bugged as to how to get the client name from there. It seems not to be available in the auth_request

Hi there. I am unable to build the java/jdk14 port. I downloaded the patches and source distribution, and get some weird HotSpot error. I am not sure what the problem could be. Following is the relevant output of make on the port. Any ideas? -- Tom # Start of jdk build bsd i586 1.4.1-p3 build started: 03-04-07 12:16 Syntax error: "(" unexpected gmake[1]: Entering directory

Hi there... Two questions: (1) Is there an easy way to have Dovecot recognize subdirectories that do not begin with a dot as sub-hierarchies? (2) Is there a way to have the root folder map to a certain other mbox/maildir? I want a setup like this: / -> $HOME/mbox /INBOX -> /var/spool/<username> /folder -> $HOME/mail/folder /folder/foo -> $HOME/mail/folder/foo

Hi there. Perhaps this is answered somewhere, but a short search through the mailing list and Wiki yielded nothing. We have spam filtering set up for all users, with all messages over some spam threshold going to a separate mbox. There is one directory containing the spam mboxes of all users (call it "/var/spool/spam", right now), with the spam box of a user residing in

Again, not a Dovecot issua - but can someone clarify better what IMAP subscriptions (SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE/LSUB) are and what they are used for? I've seen a few times in Microsoft mail clients, the options to subscribe to folders and to "show only subscribed folders". I haven't played much with them, though. But what's the actual point? Except for being returned in the

Hi there. I am evaluating Dovecot as an IMAP server. I noticed on thing which irritates me. When a user saves a message to an IMAP folder with the Dovecot server, the envelope From line is changed to the address of that user, instead of keeping the From line of the original message. How can I have the original envelope From line preserved when saving messages? -- Tom -- Tom Alsberg -

There seems to be a minor bug in the settings parsing code (as of today's dovecot-stable snapshot - 20050731) - after the closing bracket of protocol (imap/pop3) {} section, the parser still regards all options as affecting only that protocol and not globally (I have some options, protocol imap {}, protocol pop3 {}, and then some more options - now those latter options seem to only affect

In Dovecot 0.99, I recall somewhere I read it was possible for INBOX to be both a Maildir and an mbox in the same configuration (either automatically detected, or depending on the existence in a different location). Perhaps I was wrong, I'm not sure. Any way, I now became interested in this sort of setup: Most users have their spool an mbox in /var/mail/<username>, and then they

Hi there. Although it does not seem to be a Dovecot issue, I'm sending this here as people in this list may know better where exactly the problem is. I am working on Dovecot 1.0 (.alpha5, right now), with the aim that when Dovecot becomes stable we can put that into production. Recently after being more clear with the behaviour (I'm most into namespaces and mbox/maildir mixing issues,

(I am sorry to bother the list with something I should have verified myself right now - I simply do not have access to the source code here) Thinking of some limit I wanted to put with authentication, I am wondering - when Dovecot authenticates a user using PAM, now that (in 1.0) it passes the rhost item to PAM, it passes a hostname, not an IP address. Does it double-verify the DNS record

This is actually something I had on my mind to write about in the past few -stable and alpha releases, but did not get to and instead always patched myself. Now having updated to the latest snapshot (which may be released as beta1), I stumbled on it again: In src/auth/passdb-pam.c, where the client host is passed to PAM, the code looks like this: #ifdef PAM_RHOST const char *host =

Hi there... Having updated to 1.0.beta1, I for a while thought a bad bug with IDLE handling that caused new mail in INBOX not to appear when using Mozilla Thunderbird has been solved. Although I can not reproduce one kind of problem anymore, after a short while it again appears that one does not always see one's new mail with Thunderbird. I can not consistently reproduce the bug, but

Hi there. I am unsuccessfully trying to write a data DVD on FreeBSD 4.8. The writer is a Sony DVD RW DRU-500A on IDE. I'm using the atapicam driver. The media is a Sony DVD+RW which arrived with the writer. Both with cdrecord ProDVD (from the ports or otherwise) and dvdrtools I get a general SCSI retryable error message, when trying to write a data track or blank a DVD. I have no

Having finished a few other projects, I'm contemplating trying to write a new mailbox module which could be useful for us here. I would appreciate any guidance. Basically, I need (or rather, could use) a module that provides a merge of two mailboxes (which are themselves accessed by other modules), cascading them, so that: * The user sees one mailbox M, which contains all the messages in

Hello I'm attempting to configure Dovecot with mysql support so I'm able to have a single database of users and point both postfix and dovecot to this db. I currently have an rpm src that I have download and placed in my RPMBUILDROOT of my linux box. Next I configured the .spec file and attempted to run a rpmbuild -bb Near the end of the install phase I receive an error which has me

Hi, I just want to install dovecot 1.0 beta7 from atrpm and noted that it depends on a non official dependency. If you have RHEL4 (Centos) 4.3 fully updated and you try to install: http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-1.0-0_10.99.beta7.el4.at.i386.rpm You get this error: # rpm -ivh dovecot-1.0-0_10.99.beta7.el4.at.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: openssl >= 0.9.7f-4 is needed by

Suppose I have a mixed-effects model where yij is the jth sample for the ith subject: yij= beta0 + beta1(age) + beta2(age^2) + beta3(age^3) + beta4(IQ) + beta5(IQ^2) + beta6(age*IQ) + beta7(age^2*IQ) + beta8(age^3 *IQ) +random intercepti + eij In R how can I get an F test against the null hypothesis of beta6=beta7=beta8=0? In SAS I can run something like contrast age*IQ 1,
