I'm trying to set up a pop3 server for a project for class, but it keeps giving me the following error: Error: Login user doesn't exist: dovecot Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf And I have no clue what's wrong. I've look and modifying the dovecot.conffile for days and I am not having any luck. ## Dovecot configuration file # If you're in a

Hi all, After I posted yesterday, I'm still struggling with dovecot 1.0beta1 I installed it on openbsd with no problem. But I can't get it to authenticate plaintext on Unixware. I had to add two include files <sys/types.h> and <sys/mkdev.h> in compat.h because minor and major where undefined on unixware. I doubt that could fail... What's wrong with that conf: ##

Timo, I nervously ran rc6 plus the patch: http://dovecot.org/tmp/ssl-proxy-openssl.c on my Solaris 9 box, in production, this morning. My dovecot.conf file is attached. Like similar reports for BSD, rc6 fell over after an hour and a half. The final syslog message was: dovecot: [ID 920869 mail.error] Login process died too early - shutting down I rolled back to rc2 for production. BTW,

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

Timo, I got bit last night during my upgrade to beta1 by uncommenting the following part of dovecot.conf for my site: #passdb passwd-file { # File contains a list of usernames, one per line #args = /etc/dovecot.deny #deny = yes #} I did a "s/#//" over this block of code, thereby uncommenting the comment too. Then I wondered why beta1 wouldn't start for me,

Hello, I've install 1.021 and am having some problems getting vpopmail authentication to work correctly (running 0.99 in production, upgrading to 1.021). I'm using vpopmail-5.4.16. Here are the authentication debug statements in the log, my dovecot.conf changes from default, and the schema of my vpopmail database. Any ideas / suggestions? I've commented out all authentication

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?

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.

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

Hi folks, I've updated my dovecot 0.99.14 with the last package (0.99.14-1sarge0), but it doesn't work.

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.

Hello, I'm testing gmail to fetch my emails via POP3 and I've noticed that on the server where I run dovecot, the emails that gmail take, are marked as read when I imap my emails with my thunderbird.
