Hi, I've been working on configuring a new Postfix+Dovecot+Cyrus-SASL +Postgres server to perform multi-domain virtual hosting with non-unix accounts. I believe I have everything working correctly and have tested both the SASL portion and POP authentication through telnet and all works as expected, with one exception. When I authenticate using POP3: # telnet mail.host 110 Trying

I've setup postfix to delivered my mail to a maildir located at /var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/mydomain.com/myuser My postgresql database called 'mails' has a user table setup as follows: CREATE TABLE users ( userid VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL, password VARCHAR(128), realname VARCHAR(128), uid INTEGER NOT NULL, gid INTEGER NOT NULL, home VARCHAR(128), mail VARCHAR(255),

I've been trying to get dovecot working with postfix with virtual domain setting. I noticed that if I started dovecot with "sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot", everything would work fine. But if I started with "sudo /etc/init.d/dovecot start", I would get the following permission error. I checked "ps -ef | grep dovecot" and didn't find anything different. Sep 29

Hi, I am working through setting up a virtual hosting system using Dovecot, Postfix and Postgres on a CentOS 5 box running an install of the dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 RPM. The question I have is, given this password_query SELECT clause, which all return valid values from the database: user password domain can I use a %d in the WHERE clause of my user_query? The reason I ask is that the

I'm moving to IMAP and trying to understand all the details of where to save email. The system is CentOS running sendmail - procmail which delivers as: DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ I'm trying also to use Usermin as the webmail client. I can get mail to deliver to $HOME/Maildir/ and I can get clients (thunderbird outlook etc) to view them. However Usermin seems stuck with saving

Hi Timo, Trying 1.2.beta1 with expire plugin currently: When I set mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir the expire plugin doesn't delete messages. #: expire-tool --test Info: auth input: system_user=foo Info: auth input: uid=1000 Info: auth input: gid=1000 Info: auth input: home=/home/foo Info: foo/Trash: no messages left I also noticed that above command creates a new but empty directory

Dear list, I am running dovecot with LDAP. Each account has email in form abc at example.com, and messages are stored at /var/vmail/abc/Maildir. This is an external mail server, and I would like to use a cron job to fetch all messages to an internal server which has slow internet connection. It seems getmail supports multidrop retriever which might fit the bill. However I could not figure out how

I just updated to dovecot 1.1.10 from 1.1.2 and now anyone using cram-md5 can't get authenticated. I am using mysql for passwords (in plain text) and home directories. Per some googling I tried to set (in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf): # SQL database userdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql.conf for example args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf

Recently just migrated from Sendmail 8.14.3 to Postfix 2.5.6 and switched from Cyrus-sasl 2.1.22 to Dovecot 1.1.13 sasl, all are compiled from source and I have used Dovecot for a long time, since alpha versions.

Hi, I am trying to integrate sieve with qmail-ldap. I can't get it to work, and deliver isn't logging anything to the log files (or syslog, if selected). Hence I have got no way to diagnose the problem. Any help appreciated. *root at debtwo:~# dovecot --version* 1.2.13 *root at debtwo:~# dovecot -n* # 1.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-3-686 i686 Debian squeeze/sid

Hi, I want to use Sieve filtering with my Dovecot 1.2 installation on Debian squeeze. I have a virtual domain setup using Portgresql. ManageSieve works fine so far, I can edit and activate/deactive scripts (using Thunderbird + Plugin) and they show up in the filesystem where I expect them to be, see below. The problem is that LDA doesn't find the script. From /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log:

I'm having a problem with Dovecot and forwarding of aliases. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Postfix, Mysql, dovecot, amavis. mysql> SELECT * FROM alias; | address | goto | domain | created | modified | active | It seems from the logs that incoming mail is being delivered to the mailbox via dovecot. Mail gets to the correct mailbox (address field), however, if I

If I leave the "listen" value as the default in /etc/dovecot.conf I'll get a message similar to the following on each port that it tries to open during startup: # dovecot -F Fatal: listen(::, 143) failed: Address already in use If I set either: listen = * or listen = [::] then it will start up fine. Perhaps it is as though the code tries to open the port twice for both

I have been using cyrus for the past 6 years, but it is a pain to config. So ... I just installed dovecot 1.0.15 on a new debian 4r7 box. In cyrus we were using usernames as "user.domain.tld". In dovecot I realize I can: auth_username_translation = .@ But this converts user.domain.tld to user at domain@tld which of course fails. Is there a regex or something I can apply to pull this

Hello, I'm using dovecot-1.0.5 with postfix. There is no document about how to using deliver parameters (-d). I can not set mail quota with mysql db if I haven't set this parameter.
