Hello, i want to configure a virtual mailsystem on an debian server with exim and dovecot. Because it is running on a V-Server, i want to store everythink in a LUKS encrypted contrainer. So i created a group crypt with the members Debian-exim (107), dovecot, (other users with encrypted content) All mails should be stored in /mail in the mounted container. Dovecot has this configuration:

Hello people, Since the invention of this storage called dbox, I have never quite gotten round to understanding it, nor getting to use it. It seems so strange to me and I must ask a few stupid questions about it. I use the MTA to deliver mail to Maildir, either in ~/Maildir or /some/path/%d/%n/Maildir. It has always beat me how dbox comes into play under such circumstances. From the wiki, I see

Hi all i'm a new user of this list, i got a server with DirectAdmin which has exim as MUA, dovecot as POP/IMAP server, recently i added the quota to exim and pointed the maildirsize file in the same location if the dovecot's one so both services can interact with it. This has been done to let exim update the quotas while doing localdelivery while dovecot can show quotas through

In reading the Dovecot NFS WIKI entry: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS It mentions a FreeBSD NFS client caching bug. I believe that bug only exists pre-8.x ? It seems that a patch in the PR notes was MFC'd and made it into 8.x at some point. (at least I checked the source in 8.3 and it was there). So I assume that FreeBSD 8.x mitigates the issue? Maybe not? So our deployment is multi

Hi, I'm trying to set up exim (4.83) as a submission server, and need to set up the dovecot authentication in exim. I'm having an issue with that (documented at <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756258>) The problem is that exim doesn't follow the handshake as described here: <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Design/AuthProtocol>. The wiki page says that the

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 |

hi, i'm running dovecot branch_10 cvs on OSX 10.4.7 w/ exim 4.63. i'd like to use Dovecot's SASL as an auth backend to exim, instead of Cyrus-SASL. @ dovecot's sasl page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Sasl i know there's a patch against exim 4.43: http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/AuthenticatedSmtpUsingDovecot that, purportedly, enables EXIM to use dovecot's SASL as an

Had a surprising event on C 6.5. Exim was the only MTA installed. It was partially configured (with ACL, Router, Transport) and definitely not running. I was remotely testing a web page. A web page error condition invoked the embedded PHP mail() command. To my astonishment something in Centos woke-up Exim. Exim sent the email and then became inactive again. The Exim logs does not show any

Hello, I am looking for some advice. I am trying to force dovecot to run to the same log as exim does. In dovecot.conf I put the exim log path /var/log/exim/mainlog. I restarted dovecot and the process worked fine. However at midnight exim log file is rotated and since then dovecot stops logging to this log. In syslog.conf I put: mail.*

Hallo, today I had a surprising situation. Exim stopped. It's a German centos 5.3 64 Bit installation so the messages are partial in German. Then I tried a restart: [root at centos ~]# service exim restart exim beenden: [FEHLGESCHLAGEN] exim starten: /bin/bash: line 1: 6596 Die maximale Dateigr??e ist ?berschritten

Hello, Happy new year. I have a dovecot with exim installation. I am using virtual users for mail and IMAP. When dovecot creates a folder from imap user the permissions are rwx------ I need them to be rwxrwx--- Is there a way to change this in the configuration file ? TIA Stuart Stuart Gall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- There are three

Hi all, I had a big problem I did not figured out. It is solved, but I have questions about the matter. It's about Exim 4.72/CentOS 6. Connecting to Exim via "localhost" is denies relay Connecting to Exim via 127.0.0.1 accepts the relay "localhost" is in the local_domains domainlists "localhost" is resolving to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts Why?

Hi, I have some problem in Dovecot authorization in Exim for outgoing SMTP. Version of Exim is 4.69 and the Exim was compiled with "AUTH_DOVECOT=yes" and "AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes". Version of Dovecot is 1.2.12. I use SSL for IMAP. Is Exim neccesary to use SSL(TLS) for authorization of outgoing SMTP? Configuration files is as follows; - Exim

Hi, We have mail server in production, with Exim + Dovecot + Mailman + OpenLDAP + Roundcube webmail server. Openldap keeps mail accounts in db, exim uses lmtp transport to deliver messages to dovecot. Mailman is responsible for mailing lists, Roundcube webmail has managsieve module to create sieve filters. Exim router,transport for dovecot > localuser: > driver = accept > domains =

Hi. I have a default installation of Exim with only a few changed settings. It appears to only bind to the loopback interface. I have not set any local_interfaces values, as the default behaviour is to bind on all interfaces. But alas, exim does not respond on its IP address: [root at obiwan ~]# /etc/init.d/exim restart Shutting down exim: [ OK ]

The Dovecot wiki [1] doesn't list either Exim, Postfix or anything else as supporting the dbox. I did some searching in the Exim archives and have found only one message mentioning dbox, sdbox or mdbox. [2] I think an RFC would go a long way towards getting the format supported. Has Timo, or anyone else, considered submitting an RFC to the IETF? My question was how are we going to use it

Can anyone, who has used both Postfix & Exim please share some experience with me? Which of these 2 did you prefer to use, and why? cPanel uses Exim (and AFAIK, only Exim), VirtualMin seems to use Postfix by default and often times when a custom server is installed a client doesn't know which to use so we recommend Exim. But, what are the differences between these 2, from your experience,

I have just run a 'yum update' on a Centos 7.2 server which updated several hundred RPMs. The update worked fine with no errors or warnings I then rebooted the server and now my EXIM is rejecting emails because the clamd service isn't running. So I tried: [root at ollie2 ~]# systemctl restart clamd.exim Failed to restart clamd.exim.service: Unit clamd.exim.service failed to load:

I installed a CentOS-5 core OS (using --nobase in my kickstart). For some reason, it included mysql-5.0.22. When I do "yum remove mysql", it says it will also remove exim and mdadm for dependencies. I don't care that exim will be removed, but I need mdadm as I'm doing software RAID. But why are these even related? When I do: rpm -q --requires mysql neither exim or mdadm is

Hi all, We have Exim using Dovecot for authentication. Dovecot, in turn, consults a custom internal server that answers Dovecot?s userdb queries. When IMAP connections arrive, for some users we want to forward those connections--without authentication--to an external IMAP server. For these users, we return ?proxy_maybe? and ?nopassword? in the authn response from our userdb server. This tells
