similar to: login_process_per_user I cant find this???

Hi, I find login_process_per_user referred to in the comments in dovecot.conf, but never set. Is this a typo and should it be login_process_per_connection or what? Thanks, Rob

Timo, The dovecot.conf file comments talk about login_process_per_user but this variable does not appear in the file. Do you mean login_process_per_connection instead? Jeff Earickson Colby College

Hey, I am setting up Dovecot on Debian with Postfix. I am telling Dovecot to use maildir:~/Maildir but it persists in dumping mail in mbox format in /var/mail/username. Can anyone suggest ideas? My config file is attached. Thanks Kevin -------------- next part -------------- ## Dovecot 1.0 configuration file # Default values are shown after each value, it's not required to uncomment #

hi there... i HAVE practically searched in ALL messages from 2004 year, and haven't any luck with this problem, so I'm inserting here "dovecot.conf" content: ## Dovecot 1.0 configuration file # Default values are shown after each value, it's not required to uncomment # any of the lines. Exception to this are paths, they're just examples # with real defaults being based

Hi, I am running dovecot 0.99.10.4 on SuSE 9. I installed it using apt-get from the gwdg repository. The dovecot service is configured to start at boottime in run level 3 and 5. However, it dies immediately with this error (/var/log/mail.err): dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down Starting the service afterwords from a prompt as root with the command: /etc/init.d/dovecot

I have a really weird problem. To whit: I compiled dovecot 0.99.10 on two different systems: a linux-ppc box running Debian, and a Mac OS X Server v. 10.2.8. It compiled fine on both. The same Maildir's are being served up on both -- the OS X server exports home directories to the clients via NFS. BUT the OS X box orders mailboxes this way: INBOX Deleted Items Sent Items . . . And the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, I'm migrating to Dovecot from Courier-IMAP. I use Postfix with Maildir for delivery. When I use Dovecot as the IMAP server all of my folders are missing, the only thing that remains is the Inbox folder. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have enclosed my configuration. Thanks, Chris - -- Chris Horry

Trying to figure out how to convert an existing mbox system to maildir Below is my dovecot.conf file. Tried adding this at the bottom of the file and nothing happens. plugin { convert_mail = mbox:/vhome/%d/home/%n:INBOX=/vhome/%d/home/%n/INBOX convert_skip_broken_mailboxes=yes } What am I doing wrong? ## Dovecot 1.0 configuration file # '#' character and everything after it is

Hi folks. New to both dovecot and openldap. Trying to set up virtual domains using the wanderingbarque howto: http://www.wanderingbarque.com/mailserver.html Platform is RH enterprise 3. Only difference is I'm trying to use phamm instead of jamm: http://phamm.rhx.it/ dovecot doesn't seem to want to play nice with my openldap; everything else (postfix, etc) seems to work alright.

Hi, I'm trying to get dovecot set up better. I am using 1.0alpha3. It takes a long long time to move messages for some reason. It seems it may be a timeout thing, because neither the client or server is using any cpu time or disk i/o or network to speak of. (To move maybe 400 messages, it seems to take maybe half an hour, maybe longer.) With alpha 2 I was getting messages from

Hi all, while looking through the wiki page MainConfig, I noticed a lot of wannabe-links, for example: <doc/wiki/SSL> This looks like it should have been converted to a wiki link automatically, but apparently isn't. Would be good to have this fixed? Gr. Matthijs -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: signature.asc Type:

Hey, for dovecot 1.2 there is a very good reference page for all options. http://wiki.dovecot.org/MainConfig is there a reference for dovecot 2.0 in the new wiki? If not, when will be this page online? Thanks a lot. -- Gru? Sascha

Hi folks, I can't get dovecot to authenticate properly against ldap/pam. I've been fiddling with it for several days now, to no avail. It keeps crashing with: Child died with signal 11 The system is Solaris9. Enclosed is a trace of dovecot-auth for a connection to pop with correct username and password and my config. Any help is appreciated. Cheers Benjamin

Greetings, On http://wiki.dovecot.org/MainConfig I read: "mmap_disable = no Don't use mmap() at all. This is required if you store indexes to shared filesystems (NFS or clustered filesystem). " Does that mean: 1. mmap is required when using NFS or 2. it is required to don't use mmap at all when using NFS? Sorry if this is obvious. Best regards. -- *Marcio Merlone*

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade from dovecot-1.1.x to 2.1.7. We have our own custom auth server process (because we want to do our own password validation and for other reasons) that listens on a UNIX domain socket and speaks the dovecot auth protocol. In dovecot 1.1 we could configure this with auth external { socket connect { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth.sock } }

Hi, I'm working for tuning a busy cluster of dovecot servers. Heach server as 4 core, 8GB of RAM and provide POP3 and IMAP access to mailbox. OS is Debian 6.0 and dovecot version is 1.2.15. I am unsure how to set "login_max_processes_count" and "login_max_connections" for reach the best situation when login_process_per_connection is set to no. I don't know what

Hi, Recently I gzipped mails older than 30 days in our users' maildirs. I used find and gzip. Gzip added 'Z' at the end of the filename and everything seemed to work fine, users did not notice any difference in performance (yet :-), and I saved about 30% of our mail storage space. There seems to be a problem when moving gzipped messages from one folder to another though. Dovecot

Just thought I'd check, but is the combination of SSL and "login_process_per_connection = no" expected? I'm wondering, because imap_login is doing the SSL-proxying, and in our live Dovecot instance we have "login_process_per_connection = no" (we had problems with authentication and running out of file descriptors early on, now fixed by using userdb = passwd-file rather
