similar to: Deliver - can't connect to .../auth-master

Hello list, while fiddling around with the configuration so Dovecot's LDA "deliver" can be used by multiple users by means of Getmail (you can read about that in [1]) I always end up running into the error message posted in the subject line: Jan 15 00:00:02 HOSTNAME deliver(USERID): Can't connect to auth server at /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master: Permission denied

Hello, my first post in this list. Hope it's the right place.:-) I'm having a problem running getmail together with Dovecot LDA for virtual users. To achive this I let getmail run under the user that owns the virtual email accounts-root. The problem is that getmail is running under the user vmail and therefore the emails received will be put into vmail's mailbox. But the emails

I'm trying to phase out procmail and move to dovecot-sieve instead. It ain't proving easy. I'll describe my setup: - Centos 5.2 box with dovecot 1.1.4 and dovecot-sieve 1.1.6 from ATrpms. - A single user account is used to store all our email (the account is called maildb). - Getmail is being used to fetch the email from various ISP mailboxes. I want to deliver mail to different

Hello list, a quick question: can I use Dovecot's LDA "deliver" as a destination in Getmail? I.e.: [destination] type = MDA_external path = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver arguments = ("-d", "username",) Or is deliver not supposed to be called this way? What I'd like to do is use deliver in the same way I would have used procmail ages ago. Getmail

Hi there, I put together a mail server with postfix+dovecot+mysql with virtual users and it works just fine as internal mail server, but when i put ir under a multidrop email server it sends ok but so far coulnd make getmail to deliver mails correctly. the use of getmail + dovecot downloads email via pop3 but then put all the emails in the same inbox. my maildir is /var/vmail/[domain] getmalirc

Mails are sent and received but not deleted gmail so I keep getting them. mick at rapunzel:~/.getmail$ getmail --rcfile getmailrc1 Delivery error (command deliver 1363 wrote to stderr: lda(mick,)Error:

Hi I'm changing from fetchmail to getmail, in order to fetch my mail from several mail servers and deliver it to my local dovecot server. Fetchmail supports LMTP, getmail doesn't. So I'm making getmail call dovecot-lda for delivering the mail. But now, the incoming mail doesn't get filtered through sieve any longer. However, this command works: sieve-filter -v -u v

Hello, I've got a problem fetching my emails using getmail. First question is, of course, what's causing the problems. I'm going to think that getmail get's an error code from dovecot when trying to connect and just signals the most common error, so it seems to be a problem with dovecot. Sorry but I cannot upload any files with the silly web interface of my provider, so I cannot

Greetings! My ultimate goal is to have fetchmail/getmail poll from POP3/IMAP servers and deliver mail into Dovecot mailboxes. This does not work because the Dovecot LDA for some reason fails. I believe I have narrowed down the problem to dovecot-auth not finding my userdb. But, I am able to connect to dovecot via IMAP in my MUA and preform operations (read, delete mail, create folders). This

I am trying to configure my Dovecot installation to provide Vacation/Out-of-the-office emails using the Sieve plugin. My setup is a little bit peculiar: Internet Internet | ^ V | Provider's POP3 server Provider's SMTP server |

Hello, I want to use dovecot on my private debian/unstable-system to have the advantages of an IMAP-Server (Access to mails from different computers, Simply changing the mail client). I decided to use dovecot, because I very often have read (in the web) that it should be more simple to configure than other servers. Now I have the following question: I want to use getmail to retrieve mails

I have been running Postfix/Dovecot with a Postgresql backend for several months, and everything has been running great. Now I want to add server side filtering, so I'm attempting to configure deliver. The SQL maps for Postfix are all keyed upon the recipient email address. The SQL map (user_query) for Dovecot is keyed upon the IMAP login name, which is potentially unrelated to the email

Ok, I've ALMOST got this working ... I can run deliver as a user, but when I try using it as the default delivery agent from sendmail, I get deliver(userid): net_connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: Permission denied Does deliver run as root, as the recipient's ID, sendmail's ID or sendmail's GID? (I'm running freebsd) Or am I totally clueless ?? Here is dovecot

Hello everyone, I'm using getmail to fetch some external mails from POP3 into a dovecot mailbox (providing IMAP). Getmail seems to have some serious problems keeping track of mails already fetched. I have every Mail exactly twice in my Mailbox delivered by Dovecot. Of course they are not in the original external POP3 Inbox. I hope I'm in right place here. I think the problem is not

Hey All, Id just like to start by thanking Timo Sirainen and any others that helped produce such a great IMAP server, it was a breeze to set up with no previous experience in mail servers. What I am trying to do is setup a spare computer to run Dovecot and that It stores all my email from my accounts which are all accessed through POP. This way instead of being tied to one mail client (and

I 'm using potfix-dovcote as an internal mail server(local.myco.com) and wan to run another potfix-dovcote as an external mail server (myco.com) on Internet.75% of my users should only work internally(no external mail) but the rest of users (25%)should be able to send mail to external network! These users have the same username on myco.com. I use smtp_generic_maps to map int username of these

Just re-tried this, and it doesn't seem to fire getmail on access for me. My incrontab is as follows: /home/user/Maildir/cur/ IN_ALL_EVENTS,IN_ONESHOT /home/user/bin/mvmail.sh The incrontab rule does work, but only if I make a physical change in /home/user/Maildir/cur/ e.g. by moving a mail from another folder in there. Just accessing the particular inbox doesn't seem to trigger

Hi, I'm currently running getmail in a cron job every 2 minutes, so I was quite intrigued by this on the wiki: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/TriggerGetmailOnIMAPAccess Thing is - I couldn't see how it would work and, when I tried it, it didn't work (at least not for me). It details using incrontab to monitor /home/username/.maildir/cur in order to trigger getmail. However,
