Hi all, I'm trying to get dovecot up and running on an AIX 5.2 system with openssl 0.9.8a. Everything compiles fine, but when I start dovecot I find in the log: dovecot: May 08 13:39:14 Info: Dovecot v1.0.beta7 starting up dovecot: May 08 13:39:14 Info: Generating Diffie-Hellman parameters for the first time. This may take a while.. dovecot: May 08 13:39:14 Error: ssl-build-param: Trying to

Hi all, I'm trying to get a feel for how many sites are using Dovecot and the size of the installation. Jonathan's query about big sites spurred my curiousity. I'd like to take an informal poll and will post results to the list. I'm interested in hearing from those of you who are using dovecot in a real-life/production type environment (not just testing). Please email me

Hi all, I'm doing some testing between U of Washington IMAP server (which we currently run) and Dovecot on a IBM AIX system. I created a 50M mailbox, made up of 262 msgs. I'm using a Perl Script with the imap::client module to fetch each message and then flag it for deletion. At the end of the test, I run an expunge to delete all the messages. UofW imap server ran fine, messages

I have posted a couple of truss outputs, but so far no resolution. Sorry for the slow response. I've been "fighting other fires".

Hi all, We've been running Dovecot since December '07 with with no glitches. It's a great solid piece of software, thanks so much Timo!! I thought I'd try out 1.1.1, so I brought it down and tried compiling it on AIX, using the IBM compiler, xlc. It's what I've used all along. The error I'm seeing on the make is: source='array.c'

Hi all, We just started running Dovecot this fall here on campus v 1.0. I've started getting some trouble reports from users. An Outlook Express users reported seeing the "Server has not responded in 60 seconds" messages. Waiting longer doesn't help, he has to stop/start Outlook Express to get connected again. Also have a Thunderbird user who is seeing that type of behavior

Background: We are a UW-IMAP shop, using mbox format. (!) We are in the process of upgrading to Dovecot, hopefully to 1.0 proper. :) One of the modifications we have been using in test versions of Dovecot involve the move of the user subscription file from: IMAP-root/.subscriptions to: $HOME/.mailboxlist Rather than having to make changes to Dovecot source code each time a new release

Hi, I have yet another problem with Dovecot: sometimes (rarely, maybe once every few days) one of the imap processes will 'hang', consuming all available CPU time. It does not seem to 'finish' in any reasonable amount of time (in one instance I waited a few days). This process will not even exit gracefully, it needs to be killed with 'kill -9 <PID>'. It has

Hi all, How do I get to previous versions of the dovecot source code? I wanted to download dovecot-1.0.beta7, but can't find it via the web, only the latest version (beta8). It's probably obvious how to do this...but I'm not seeing it. Thanks much! Jackie ---- Jackie Hunt ACNS Voice: (970)

Hi all, Is there a way to disable the TLS support provided by Dovecot on port 143? I'd like to run SSL on 993, so as far as I can tell I can't use ssl_disable, since the will disable SSL. I'm looking for the equivalent of an ssl_disable_tls setting. Thanks much, Jackie --- Jackie Hunt ACNS

Hi all, Our Dovecot server became non-responsive today and had to be restarted. We had approximately 1200 imap sessions running, and when I looked at the log, I found the following errors: Jan 16 10:02:01 lamar dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection queue full: rip=75.166.40.150, lip=129.82.103.75, TLS handshake Jan 16 10:02:01 lamar dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection queue

We just started running Dovecot this summer at our campus. Overall things have gone very well, and performance have improved since moving off of U of Wash. We have run into an issue with a user running Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 on Solaris. He is seeing a very long response time (20mins+) on his first mailbox selection each morning when he comes into work. I looked at the Dovecot log, and the only

Hi all, I need some help interpreting the info I'm seeing in the dovecot logs. I have a user using Outlook who is having connectively problems. Below is a sample of what the Dovecot log is showing. Can anyone explain to me why multiple logins occur within a few seconds of each other? Also, as I understand it, the "Disconnected" messages mean the kernel told Dovecot the

I'm having problems with the username map feature of Samba. Everything was running fine in 1.9.18p7. After the upgrade to 1.9.18p8, the mapping no longer occurs, and I see errors in the log file: password server CSUNTS rejected the password get_smbpwd_entry: unable to open file /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd I tried going back to 1.9.18p7, and sure enough things work like a charm.

We are working on migrating Dovecot 1.2.17 running on AIX 5.3 (believe it or not!) to Dovecot 2.0.13 running on Ubuntu. We have hundreds of users mboxes we will be migrating. My question is regarding the index files. Should we remove those after the migration, but before we open it up to users so Dovecot can create new ones? I did a test migration of a single user, and Dovecot detects the

All, Just move our mail servers over to a new mail server running postfix 2.11.1 and dovecot 2.2.13 and getting the subject line errors in my /var/adm/files. People are complaining of loosing their connections to the mail server. I've been able to google this error but haven't found fix for this yet. NOt sure where to put the drop-priv option in the config files either. Any

Anyone know what I should do about this. Could these errors cause slowness to the samba share for

I'm pretty sure this is a SAMBA issue. I have a strange problem when changing permissions on a file (ex. index.html) through Windows on a SAMBA share. For example: All user files are accessed through SAMBA Through W2K, I set the permission on my index.html file so that only the user has read/write and nothing for group and Everyone. Now this should break my web page, but to my surprise it

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sorry to bring this up again. I have now configured my test server to pass all email messages off to our central campus email filter gateway.
