similar to: RC7: its issues or mine?

Hi all, I just upgraded a couple of Fedora 9 workstations to try out 1.1.1 over NFS'd homedir's and I'm having trouble running dovecot in the same configuration we were with 1.0.14. It's fairly simple, we use pine/alpine and set a couple of variables to fork rimapd directly: * smtp-server=host (for the main mail machine) * user-domain=host (same) * set the

Anyone had any thoughts on the item below? If the problem is with my config, I'd like to be guided towards how I might resolve it. If it is a bug in rc7, it would be good to fix it, and I'd be happy to beta-test. -- : David Lee I.T. Service : : Senior Systems Programmer Computer Centre : :

Greetings - Work moves onward here at setting up our Dovecot IMAP service and I've got a couple more questions, I'm afraid... :-} ============================================== Q1. The UW IMAP Server supports "pre-authenticated connections" -- does Dovecot? Specifically, it is possible to create a symlink from /etc/rimapd to the UW IMAP server binary and then use rsh

Hello! I saw your post to the mailing list (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-January/010968.html) where you write "A description for pine with imap acces without entering any password is also discussed.", but I didn't find such description in this post. Would you be so kind to point me to some source where it is explained - currently users have to insert the

(OS: Fedora Core 5; dovecot: 1.0 rc7) On a typical UNIX-like OS, the INBOXes are in "/var/spool/mail/" using the user identifier: so user 'fred' has INBOX "/var/spool/mail/fred". We have a well-established different convention which subdivides this, based on the last two digits of the uid: "/var/spool/mail/12/fred" (for fred's uid as something ending

(Using rc7 code) There seems to be a bug in rsh/ssh-style connections. For reference, on a normal imap connection (port 143, 993, etc.) things are OK. The imap session ends (from a client-end command "a logout") thus: --- a logout * BYE Logging out a OK Logout completed. Connection closed by foreign host. unix-prompt% --- But when the connection had been established using rsh or ssh

Hello, I upgraded from dovecot 1.1.17 to 1.2.5. Works well so far with e.g. Thunderbird and SSL. One problem left: pine doesn't work any more with rsh: cat .pinerc (filtered): rsh-path= rsh-command=/usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap Starting pine: 1.) Opening INBOX 2.) [>SECURITY PROBLEM: insecure server advertised AUTH=PLAIN<] 3.) Afterwards I'm asked for a password: HOST:

Folks, I'm running into some issues with pine and dovecot. (dovecot is running mbox for now... plan to switch to maildir soon.) At first I thought it was a funky issue with the way I was using pine to access mailboxes. (I use rsh to invoke imap as pre-authenticated so when I switch to maildirs, I don't have to worry about pine being patched to support it.) But after switching over to

I'm trying to replace ssh 1.2.27 with openssh 1.2.1-pre* It seems that a openssh client accessing any openssh/ssh server I've setup always results in a password prompt. It also seems that a openssh server requires ssh clients to provide a password regardless of the entries in the /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv file. If I shut off the openssh server and run a ssh server then normal ssh client

Hi List, last time i did a lot of packaging and installing different versions of dovecot 1.0.x (rc not included ;) )and all was fine. Now a have a little problem. In this case it was an update from 1.0.13 to 1.1.1 Sometime it happens that 1 user out of x (more than 100) got this standardmessage for ~1 or ~2 thousend times in his mailbox (mbox) for example: >From MAILER_DAEMON Mon Sep 18

Hi all, I've been experimenting with Dovecot; tests with Maildir seemed to work fine. However, now I'm trying with mbox folders, and I'm having a problem where I do not get an INBOX listed using pine. Outlook Express and IMP show it fine. I snooped part of the session, which appears to go like this (it is slightly garbled, sorry -- I couldn't get rawlog to work by creating

Hi all, Over the weekend, we've migrated our old mail environment to Sendmail and Dovecot: - Dovecot 1.0 stable - Sendmail 8.13.3 - Procmail 3.22 Procmail is MDA for Sendmail and it delivers mail to Maildir boxes. Email clients like Eudora, Thunderbird, Outlook and mutt are working OK. When using Outlook Express and Pine however, in the message list the 'from' or

Hi, On the weekend I tried to upgrade from RC7 to RC10. Clearly, I have to change some things before I can do this. What does it take to get to RC10? As is, my mail client got an error trying to list messages in /INBOX (via IMAP) and the mail.err log shows the following messages: Oct 29 10:27:32 siona dovecot: IMAP(archangel): open(/var/mail/archangel/inbox, O_CREAT) failed: Not a

I am not able to upgrade to anything above RC7. I am receiving the following errors when trying to connect to the IMAP server if I upgrade. Oct 15 18:40:36 servername imap-login: chdir((null)) failed: No such file or directory Oct 15 18:40:36 servername dovecot: Maximum number of mail processes exceeded My mail directory variable in dovecot.conf is "default_mail_env =

Hello, After fixing configuration and other issues I'm still having one problem with imap executable and pine: less .pinerc # Changed config: #rsh-command=/usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap rsh-command=/usr/local/bin/imap Calling imap still fails as non root: imap /usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file /usr/local/bin/.libs/2612-lt-imap: Permission denied collect2: ld returned 1 exit statusn

Hello Everybody, I would like to use Dovecot on my desktop with imap but before doing the real migration I have some (very simple) questions: - Is there any way to log in with imap automatically ? That is, from localhost without any passwords. - Can Dovecot work with only readable maildirs? I want to avoid accidental e-mail loss, therefore on some maildir folder I have only read permissions.

Could someone confirm, please, that this bug report and its proposed fix are being checked? 1. Is my analysis (message below) about right? 2. Is my proposed patch (attached) about right? 3. Is this being addressed for "rc8" (or whatever) and its successors? Many thanks. -- : David Lee I.T. Service : : Senior Systems Programmer
