similar to: basic understanding of imap in dovecot

Hey all, A few minutes ago, I installed Dovecot, hoping things would get clear by just looking at the relevant config files, but since they don't, I hope someone here could give me a clue... What I want to achieve is really only basic functionality. It's just for personal use, so it shouldn't get too complicated. Up til now, I have been using fetchmail to get my mail off of several

It works ! It was THAT easy ! Can you suggest how to replace the hair I pulled out ? :-) On 2016-12-29 5:27 PM, Larry Rosenman wrote: > login_access_sockets = tcpwrap > > service tcpwrap { > unix_listener login/tcpwrap { > group = $default_login_user > mode = 0600 > user = $default_login_user > } > } > > > > On Thu, Dec 29, 2016 at

Hello list. I have just a generic question. Exim delivers fine to dovecot-lda. My problems are the logfiles. Whenever I recieve a message Exim writes to dovecot.log as the user who recieves the mail. This forces me to have that logfile world writeable. I don't really like that. How do you guys deal with that? Here my transport: dovecot_delivery: driver = pipe # You may or may not

Hi all: We're planning to deploy a large e-mail system storing maildirs in a NAS system through NFS. One of the options we're thinking on is using Dovecot+EXIM. As far as I've read in both project's documentation, both services implement locking allowing multiple servers to access the same maildirs in order to distribute the service load. However, I can't find any information

Saw this on the Exim List:- From: Tony Finch <dot--at-- at dotat.at> Subject: [exim] CVE-2015-0235 - glibc gethostbyname remotely exploitable via exim Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 17:33:45 +0000 "The Exim mail server is exploitable remotely if configured to perform extra security checks on the HELO and EHLO commands ("helo_verify_hosts" or "helo_try_verify_hosts"

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

Dear List Using dovecot 2.1.7 with LMTP and exim4 I want to accept local parts regardless of their case. Exim does all virtual alias handling and delivers the messages to dovecot LMTP addressed to the right mailbox name. This works well except for addresses which do not need to be resolved by exim and which do have the "wrong" case in the local part. For example: There is a

Hi! Im making a small research about IMAP servers and it's features. As the subject suggests, I want make a shared mailbox, with per user \seen flag to work like a mailin-list works. The reason to use 1 shared folder is simple: Imagine 12k users sending 1KB messages each week, it will be 12+ MB of useless information. Many people told me that IMAP could do this, but now seem that it is a

After upgrading to 2.31 I'm getting this error. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

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 |

both of my other servers its owned by exim, the permissions in the other two servers are 644, and dovecot starts just fine on those, I don't know what happened I updated my server from opensuse 12.1 to 13.2 and now dovecot is refusing to start.> From: alvin.sm at Mail.Linux-Consulting.com> Subject: Re: help, permissions issues> To: dovecot at dovecot.org> Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015

Good afternoon, I have a problem with replication is configured in Dovecot, I have two servers, they are version 2.2.9. Here is their configuration /root at mx1:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -n// //# 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf// //# OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.4 ext4// //auth_debug = yes// //auth_debug_passwords = yes// //auth_mechanisms = plain login// //auth_socket_path =

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

Hi all, I''m using cobbler as our external node manager and it''s working really well (including deployment of ActiveMQ from RI''s RPMS and Mcollective - blog post coming soon!) however I''ve run into a problem with exim configuration files. We use exim in a number of different configurations depending on the role of the server (webserver/antivirus/outbound

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

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

We're exploring the use of "plus addressing" in our MTA (Exim), which delivers "user+topic at domain.com" to a user's "topic" folder. However, the case-sensitive nature of our ext3 filesystem means that a message destined to "topic" won't deliver to a user's "Topic" folder. For example, if a user creates a "Topic"
