Heya, We are expiriencing issues with dovecot 2.1.1 on Linux with weird filenames in home directory of username. We are using mbox IMAP folders, with no special changes (mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=%h/.mailbox). Mar 6 13:37:17 machine dovecot: imap(username): Panic: file mail-storage.c: line 628 (mailbox_alloc): assertion failed: (uni_utf8_str_is_valid(vname)) Mar 6 13:37:17 machine dovecot:

Heya, we are seeing some strange issues with IMAP ID command using latest Roundcube builds on dovecot 2.2.10 responding "Input buffer full, aborting". Roundcube webmail connects to IMAP server and issues ID command first with some long arguments to ID command, however shorter than 1024 octets, which are specified in RFC2971 for ID IMAP extension. The situation is easily

Heya, I am expiriencing compiling issues on Solaris 8 and Solaris 10 boxes with dovecot 1.2.6. On Solaris 8 the compiler is gcc 64bit 3.2.2, on Solaris 10 gcc 3.4.3. On both systems the compiling fails with: /bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2

Hey everyone, I am trying to migrate old UW-IMAP setup to dovecot 1.2.2 using namespaces as recommended for UW-IMAP backwards compatibility: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces I am trying to use these settings: mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=~/.mailbox # default namespace namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } # for backwards compatibility: namespace private {

I was reading "conf.d/10-director.conf" and it mentions Dovecot proxy. I've been using perdition in the past for my pop/imap proxying needs and wasn't sure if Director could also use perdition or if it only works with Dovecots proxying. Thanks!

Heya, we have two IMAP (UW-imap and dovecot) servers accessing the same mbox files for our users (don't ask why) and sometimes the UW-imap corrupts the mbox file. The mbox looks just like normal mbox except it does not have the proper 'From ' beginning of the file (usually there are some random tidbits in the begining of the file, which can be easily stripped to recover the working

Hello, I've just finished transiting our proxies from perdition to dovecot (2.1.7-7 Debian). Yesterday 12 messages (all within the same second) like this caught my attention: --- Apr 25 17:19:09 pp11 dovecot: auth: Warning: proxy(redacted at gol.com,xx.xx.xx.xx,<26hUEivbfQBlMrMS>): DNS lookup for mb04.dentaku.gol.com took 5.002 s --- Now this machine at that time was handling a load

Heya, We are in the process of migrating from qpopper to dovecot as POP3 server (and IMAP as well) and we hit the UIDL issue with dovecot. Qpopper uses its own algorithm to create UIDL values and if you set it up to write them down in the mbox file as X-UIDL, then dovecot can use them (pop_uidl_reuse = yes). But if you don't use that feature from qpopper, than X-UIDLs are missing and there

Hello, I am trying to migrate existing UW-IMAP installation to dovecot 1.1.14 and I am having troubles with namespaces. As you know UW-IMAP allows full system access to home directory of a user and you can set up dovecot to do that as well, but I would like to use namespaces. If I set my namespaces like this: namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes location =

The wiki <http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy> page says this: "The connections created to the destination server can't be TLS/SSL encrypted.". Hrmm. Right now, with perdition, I'm forcing the use of STARTTLS on the internal connections. I'd just as soon get rid of perdition (to have one less moving part in my architecture), but I need the

Hi, I have two load-balanced dovecot servers using a single NFS mount. The version is 1.2.11. I chose this so that if one server goes down the other will take up the load, and if my load is too much for one server I just have to add more identical servers. It works, but I wish to move to SAN storage because the NFS server is exhibiting irregular performance. (I spent a lot of time with tcpdump to

Hi all, I have some IMAP servers fronted with separate perdition processes, and it would be ideal if I could collapse this down to having dovecot do both the IMAP proxying and the IMAP serving at the same time on the same IP addresses. One of the fields in my LDAP entries contains the canonical name of the server that hosts their mailbox, and if I follow the manual at

Hello, I trying to build dovecot 1.2rc2 on ancient Solaris 8 with gcc 2.95.3 and it fails with: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/lib -I../../src/lib-settings -DSYSCONFDIR=\""/opt/dovecot/etc"\" -DPKG_RUNDIR=\""/opt/dovecot/var/run/dovecot"\" -DPKG_STATEDIR=\""/opt/dovecot/var/lib/dovecot"\"

Is it possible to use Dovecot frontends in front of UWash backends? I need a proxy pool ASAP. There is not sufficient time to migrate the backends for 40,000+ users so they have to stay UW for now. I have been looking at Perdition but concerned about performance under load. Dovecot looks really promising with it's non-forking mode. I need simple dumb frontends no local mail. Other

I'm a database noob, and it really seems like it would be overkill for my setup: I just want to proxy all connections from my DMZ to my internal mail server -- same internal server for all users. I used to use perdition for this set up, but am having issues getting it to play nicely with my new servers. Can I bypass all of the SQL stuff and just have dovecot forward all POP/IMAP

Before I spend some time experimenting with what might be impossible, maybe someone can just tell me (either "how" or that it's impossible). I'd like to get perdition out of my environment (mainly to have one less moving part in my architecture). I'm looking at dovecot's built-in proxying. In my setup, I don't have dedicated front-end machines. A user can connect

Hi, I setup a rather large POP3/IMAP configuration and want to use dovecot proxying feature. I have noted that the capability announce when connecting via the proxies are not the same before you are authenticated and after. Before you are authenticated the proxy announce is own capability and after it announce the final server capability. The problem is that some (most ? all ?) mail client ask

Hi! I am about to migrate a perdition-based IMAP/POP3 proxy to Dovecot. Unfortunately some users are behind a firewall/NAT setup which throws away seemingly idle TCP connections sooner than the established default of 24 hours (more likely after 30 minutes ...) resulting in all kinds of weird client behavior. And unfortunately? this firewall/NAT setup is outside of my control and I have no means
