I'm trying to setup IMAP, so that it works via secure connections. I have it working fine over SSL, now I wish to get TLS to work. I have set imap and imaps to both listen on *, and have disable_plaintext_auth = yes, which according to the docs, Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). So the problem is now, that TLS

Hi! I am using courier IMAP with maildrop as LDA. I started reading about dovecot and i like started to feel that i can switch to it. I have couple questions mostly about dovecot's LDA. My main problem with maildrop is that i have to create manualy user directories grr. All my domains are set up as virtual with postfix. So when i add new accout thru my web panel and i have to create user dir

I received a mail, Thunderbird was supposed to move that mail in a folder, according to its filter rules, but appeared this popup: http://luigi.rosa.name/dovecot1.gif The log entries are: Dec 14 07:23:07 mail dovecot: IMAP(lrosa): Fixed index file /var/spool/mail2/lrosa/.HT list/dovecot.index: first_recent_uid_lowwater 839 -> 838 Dec 14 07:23:07 mail dovecot: IMAP(lrosa): Corrupted

Hello! I have this shared folder: namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/mail/public } It is accessible for all users in a specific group (mode 770, umask 0007). Users in that group should always be subscribed to all subfolders, so I did not use a different CONTROL for each user. All of our IMAP users were in that group, until now. I added a

I have a setup that I'm working on migrating to Dovecot for thousands of users across a few dozen domains.. All users are authed from LDAP.. In LDAP, each user has a unique uidNumber, and varying gidNumber (for use in other applications) As far as mail storage, the entire Maildir structure is owned by UID/GID: vmail/vmail So, the uidNumber/gidNumber from LDAP is not needed. global uid/gid is

Hi, I have a mail server (postfix/dovecot) running so far with normal local /etc/passwd users for domain example.com. mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } Is it possible to add virtual domains/users to my setup without changing example.com to a virtual domain? I can do the postfix part with http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox but

Hi, how do I setup the config to use an ldap server for authentification ? I tried : auth_userdb = ldap:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf auth_userdb = ldap:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/ auth_userdb = usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf however I got an error. What is the correct syntax for the ldap config ? Regards, Stefan Sels

Hi all, I found Dag Wieers' Fedora Core 2 rpm on http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dovecot/ and installed it. Now dovecot-auth isn't complaining anymore about an unknown userdb type but I can't get authentication working. /etc/dovecot.conf (...) # Authentication process name. auth = default # plain digest-md5 anonymous auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = pgsql

my mailsystem is using postfix and virtual mailbox which stored in mysql db. SMTP AUTH is using PAM, pam-mysql to authenticate against a mysql db. I installed dovecot 0.99-14. In the dovecot example config file it mentioned that auth_passdb can check against thru PAM but auth_userdb didn't Does it mean that auth_userdb should use other means e.g. /etc/passwd, shadow, vpopmail, etc and in my

Hi, im using 0.99 stable in RPM form, Im using this for postfix+dovecot+real unix users, now i tried to enable virtual support with this: protocols = imap pop3 ssl_disable = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.info login_user = dovecot mail_extra_groups = mail auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_passdb = pam auth_userdb = passwd auth_userdb =

I've configured dovecot to authenticate against a Fedora Directory Server. The mail server on which dovecot is installed has the nss_ldap and pam_ldap packages installed, and /etc/dovecot.conf has the following two lines: auth_userdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf auth_passdb = pam In other words, I want dovecot to use LDAP to access the user database, but PAM for authentication. This part is

Hi! i want to configure dovecot to use a modified passwdfile. A linie in this file looks like this: "username: <TAB> crypted_password" how i have to use the auth_userdb and auth_passwd command? Now i have: auth_userdb = passwd-file /path/file auth_passwd = passwd-file /path/file (same file) dovecot is starting normaly (i think) but a authentification test via telnet doesnt

Not sure if this is anything to worry about. Just upgraded to RC15 to do some testing, and like always, I monitor the logs when I do this. I restarted the server (basically a clean install, uninstalled RC2, installed RC15, same config file), and then opened Thunderbird.

Hi all I just compiled Dovecot v1.0-test70 and i tried using the dovecot-example.conf for a quick test to see if the daemon would work. But I keep getting the following error message in me /var/log/messages: May 17 12:33:46 mail dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-test70 starting up May 17 12:33:47 mail dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down May 17 12:33:47 mail dovecot: auth(default): No

Have the following entries in dovecot.conf auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot-passdb auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot-passdb auth_user = dovecot passwd-file is owned by user and group dovecot When I try to log in ..

If a host is running NIS (passwd file ends in +::0:0:::) authentication, will dovecot be able to authenticate with auth_userdb = passwd directly and automagically or do you have to do a ypcat passwd > pwfile periodically to generate a passwd file that dovecot can use? ?

Hey- I'm kinda new to Dovecot and I'm trying to do something and it seems I've hit a wall. I put together a server with Fedora Core 2, Exim 4.34, and Dovecot 0.99.10.6 and I need support mail for multiple domains so this is how I have my virtual setup: Virtual Aliases Files: /var/virtualdomains/$domain/etc/aliases Virtual Accounts Passwd File:
