From the Dovecot 1.0.1 sample dovecot.conf file: # If you want UIDL compatibility with other POP3 servers, use: # UW's ipop3d : %08Xv%08Xu ... # Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format which was # Dovecot's default, so if you're building a new server it would be a good # idea to change this. %08Xu%08Xv should be pretty fail-safe. #

I'm looking for some help with an nfs error that is filling our logs. I get a constant stream of these messages: Jul 8 10:47:08 servername dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(username): nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy I have two dovecot IMAP servers. All mailboxes are NFS mounted. The INBOX is /var/mail and the rest are in

(Apologies for being offtopic.) The subject basically says it all...does anyone know of a tool to run a sieve script on a mailbox (in particular, Maildirs) manually? Ideally, I'd like to do it without adding a bunch of new headers to the mail. So, could I just do a find (or for-loop, if it was just one maildir) command and pipe all the mails into deliver..? Thanks, Neil.

I'd like to download a complete mail archive so that I can browse for problems concerning Mulberry. Is this possible, or can I only get them in monthly gulps? Cheers, Terry. --

I'm working on migrating to Dovecot. At the moment, I have a mail path that includes the domain, so I'm using %d to get that. However, if users authenticate without specifying a domain (i.e. using "bob" instead of "bob at wiktel.com"), then %d expands to nothing. I'd like to have that expand to a default domain (wiktel.com) instead. Is that possible? Thanks,

We are running into a situation where Dovecot master is simply trying to do too much. It some situations, we are finding that there are times in which it cannot service requests. Restarting Dovecot seems to help in these situations, possibly due to the fact that it no longer has to manage its THOUSANDS of file descriptors for pipes to the many imap/proxy processes that it uses for logging. Is

Hello, Im using dovecot for ages and im happy.. but at now strange things happens: mutt returns: Error talking to localhost (Connection reset by peer) so i started telnet: alnagon ~ % telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1...

Greetings all, I'm trying to get an understanding of a problem we are facing here. We're currently running dovecot 1.0-beta3 and have a long standing issue of system crashes on our mail server (Debian Linux 2.4.27-2-k7-smp). Here's what is happening: The machine hangs and the system load climbs as high as 80.0+. Yet, the system response is not effected. Command line is still

Currently mailbox names are stored in IMAP's modified-UTF-7 format in filesystem. I was wondering about changing this in v2.0. The default would still be to use mUTF-7 in filesystem, but just adding :UTF8 or something to mail_location could enable UTF-8. Any thoughts? Could this be dangerous somehow? UTF-8 enables a lot of weird characters, perhaps no one really wants to see them on

Hello list, my name is Steven and of course: I got a problem... we are using dovecot 0.99 because it?s the actual stable version for RedHat 4 Enterprise. I am trying to authenticate using "PLAIN" but I don?t know how. that?s what I am doing: telnet conny.MYDOMAIN.de 143 Trying IP.AD.RE.SS... Connected to conny.MYDOMAIN.de. Escape character is '^]'. * OK dovecot ready. a1

Could you offer some suggestion how to fetch mailbox content over high RTT link (with negligible packet loss)? Currently I use IMAP+IDLE *but* it fails to use full available bandwidth due to high RTT and "send command wait for response" nature of POP3 and IMAP4 protocols. -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi at onet.eu Learning without thought is labor lost; thought

Hi, I've heard that for Dovecot/Mailir systems there are filesystems that are optimised for the situation of many small files in one folder. Could I possibly have some feedback on what the recommended filesystems are? I've heard of ReiserFS but was wondering what other options there are and how they compare. If I get a good comprehensive response I'll build a wiki summary page

my_strncasecmp ignores the length parameter, which breaks all sorts of things on platforms where the function actually gets used.

Hello, I've taken a different (better) approach to getting tpop3d-compatible UIDLs: the first attached patch (...md5_modifier.diff) adds a variable expansion modifier (%M) to return the md5sum of the expanded variable in hex. With the patch, you can get tpop3d-compatible UIDLs by setting pop3_uidl_format to %Mf. While testing interactions with other modifiers (e.g. %MUf to get the md5sum in

Hello everybody! Currently, dovecot just kills itself if it detects that time has moved backwards more than a hardcoded number of seconds. I accept the reasons, but I do not like to restart dovecot manually after waiting for time to move forward again. A cron job would not help, because time might still be wrong when it restarts dovecot. All our systems run ntpd, but they might be offline

Does anybody know of a script of a simple method of converting mbox mail stores to maildirs? I'm moving from an old pop3 system to imap and after installing about half our office with mboxes have found that mbox does not support subfolders which some people like to use. Is there any simple way of converting? I can go to each individual account and "manually" convert swaping data

Hello folks, I've been trying to get T.38 over SIP working with calls terminated by a MAX/Lucent/Ascent TNT. As far as I can tell, SIP and T.38 are actually working perfectly; however, I can't get the TNT to properly terminate a FAX call. Does anyone have a working configuration for SIP and T.38 for calls from a TNT or APX? Here's a brief description/diagram of my test setup:
