I am running dovecot 1.2.16 and not able to figure out an error that happens whenever I select the root of a virtual mailbox tree. At the moment I have a simple maildir store, accessed via IMAP, and have successfully added a virtual fs namespace with two subdirectories. I have created dovecot-virtual entries in the subdirs and they are working fine; they show the expected messages, etc. My

OK I finally found time to write this. (this is for dovecot 99.X and Xmail 1.X >= 1.17) (in dovecot 1.0 it'll able to auth against Xmail via a auth script. aka You'll only need to have 1 user account databases, XMAIL's YAY !!!) Steps: 1.

Okay heres a weird question is there anyways to make dovecot run as root ? Heres why: I'm currently using XMail email server (smtp/pop3/virtual accounts). And I love using it. But it really must run as root. I've tryed all the non-root solutions for it. and really I'd prefer to have it run as root. And I'd like to really use dovecot as (on server with xmail). Currently I've

Hello all, I am migrating from Postfix/Cyrus/MySQL mail server to a recently installed dovecot 1.2.8 on a QNAP TS259 NAS via XDove. I am unable to login via IMAP (the only method I've tried and the only method I want). I am using an almost identical database as the current existing Postfix/Cyrus/MySQL setup (with the except of paths). I have been attempting to get this working (off and on)

The imap process crashes when SquirrelMail wants to move a message to another folder. I have run imap in gdb and talked to it the same way SquirrelMail does and got a backtrace. I am using Dovecot beta3. I am using it in combination with XMail, which has maildir databases. My system is Gentoo Linux on x86. The same version of Dovecot works great for me on amd64 with exactly the same config. Here

Hi, I have installed latest Dovecot 1.0.13 on a FreeBSD 6.2 with XMail (www.xmailserver.org). It works OK except one thing: error on startup. After each reboot there are lots of such error: dovecot: Mar 28 08:54:38 Error: child 916 (login) returned error 89 dovecot: Mar 28 08:54:54 Error: imap-login: No authentication sockets found When I restart dovecot by running startup script

Hello all, I have a DL360 G4 1U server that does a wonderfull job with dovecot horde, Xmail and OpenLDAP for a company and serving about 40 acouunts. The machine is wonderful. I am very happy with it. However, I am running out of disk space. It has two times 76Gb Drives in RAID1 (disk mirroring) and the capacity has reached 82%.? I am starting of getting nervous. Does anyone know of a painless

Hi, Another beginner question. I spend hours trying to find the solution for how to configure winnut properly but I' struggling to make it work. I want my QNAP NAS TS-231 to work as a master and send signal to the PC to shut it down during power outage. I configured QNAP properly (like this: http://geekbeat.tv/qnap-adding-external-devices-qnap), but I don't know what to do next. I work

Hi folks, I am having a problem rsyncing files with accents in the names. I've seen similar problems reported a few times before in the archives but they didn't seem to be referring to exactly the same problem as what I have, and I'm not good enough at Linux to solve my problem by generalising from the information there: sorry. Anyway, my specific details are this. I am running rsync

Hello, I'm currently stuck with a QNAP NAS appliance (don't buy this !) I have a Sernet Samba 4.5 as an AD controller and my QNAP have a Samba 4.0.25 (latest update) All i want is to join the QNAP to the AD, the QNAP will act as the file server. The join in the official way is okay but the uid / gid mapping is f*cked. I tried almost everything, change the idmap,

Hi, I'm considering buying a QNAP TS-212 NAS and I wonder if this device is powerful enough to run dovecot too (there is a pre-built dovecot package available from QNAP)? The main goal would be that my mail is stored centralized on the NAS, where I can access it from multiple systems without ending up with mail scattered over each system (which is exactly what is happening now due to the

I'm trying to install Dovecot onto my QNAP NAS. I apologise for this! It means I'm not working in a normal environment, and don't (necessarily) have the normal range of tools available (or the most up to date version of those tools). It seems that 2.0.21 works (at least, as far as I've tested), but 2.1.17 and 2.2.4 won't start up their child services. I've got the

[Apologies if you've seen this message twice. I originally sent it from another e-mail account but it never seemed to appear on the list for me.] Apologies if this has been mentioned before. I've searched quite a few of the archives, but haven't found an answer. I've just installed dovecot 1.1.6 on my qnap server, and have found an odd interaction with spampal that I've not

I've searched for quite some time and read the FAQ, but to no avail. I have a UPS connected to a NAS. Unfortunately I have to specify every single client IP (ups slave), because the stupid NAS system (QNAP) does not allow me to set a /16 or /24. Changing the config files manually does not work either, because the service won't come up anymore. (One has to love QNAP at this point.) Thus I

Hello, I am running samba 4.0.25 on a qnap NAS as a Domain Controller. NETLOGON share is available, but it is not possible anymore to execute the logon.bat. QNAP support cannot help (only information is to reinstall firmware) - how can I set the default permissions to this share? Karl

Hi, this is my first foray in samba (and newsgroups) so go easy :) I'm trying to map a network drive from a windows 7 pro client to a QNAP NAS: net use s: \\qnap\share I've posted on several forums and got good advice but the problem remains.

I was just wondering how dovecot interacts with vpopmail. Does it just call the vchkpw and pass the username and password to it then wait for a it to tell dovecot weather the user is vaild or not ? Does vchkpw pass back the users homedir ? PS. My plan is to just replace vchkpw with a script/program of own. that dovecot can call to auth a user again xmail passwd file. And using "auth_passdb
