Hello, I have seen via google that this very problem was already discussed on this and other lists some months ago, but the archives report no solution. I have dovecot 1.0-0_12.beta8 on Centos 4.3. IMAP works just fine: I can read email from both Squirrelmail via web and Kmail. Now I have created an ssl certificate and I'm trying to use it via pop3. When I launch fetchmail I get the error

Hello, I have not clear, due to the new syntax, how to configure dovecot 1.0 to listen only for the following combinations of ports and services: no pop3, from whatever host accept imap connections only if coming from localhost (since I understand this is secure _and_ the only way to make squirrelmail talk to dovecot) listen on the internet only for imaps and pop3s connections, accept them

Hello, a couple of months ago, also thanks to help from this list, I set up postfix and dovecot for virtual domains on a Centos 4 remote server. I have postfix set up to deliver all email for marco at domain1.net to /var/mail/vhosts/marco_domain1.net/ Everything is fine, as far as postfix is concerned: all email to marco at domain1.net goes in that mailbox, dovecot sees it, etc... Now I need

Greetings, I have just been given a VPS with a fresh, minimal Centos 4.2 installation. When I ran "yum update" it went on updating some tenths of packages and signalled this error: Updating : perl ####################### [24/88] Updating : rpm-python ####################### [25/88] Updating : MAKEDEV

Hello, I'm running dovecot 1.0-0_12.beta8. Since I have only a very small number of user on that server, I have their names and password in text files, no databases. imap works both via webmail and via Kmail Is it possible to have, for the same user, a plain unencrypted password when connecting via imap on the local interface (needed, as I understand it, to be squirrelmail compatible) and a

Hello, I have just ran nmap on a remote server with a minimal (or so I believed) Centos 4.3 installation. Besides what I expected (ssh, httpd, smtp) it found as open for listening these ports: Starting Nmap 3.95 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-06-14 17:57 CEST Interesting ports on <my.remote.server> (The 1667 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE

Hello, when one has physical access to a computer, he can run something like tripwire, with keys and checksum on a separate, write-only media, to verify the integrity of the system. What if the system is a remote one (in my case Centos 4.3 on a User Mode Linux VPS some hundred of KMs from here)? Does it still make sense to run tripwire remotely? If yes, how, since you cannot plug a floppy or

I have noticed on a Centos 4.3 server where I had set some >8 characters passwords for some accounts, that only the first 8 characters are needed (if I forget or mistype the others I login all the same). Can I "move" the live, running system to longer passwords, and how? or is a reinstall necessary? TIA, Marco -- Marco Fioretti mfioretti, at the server

Hello, I'm trying to set up dovecot installed from RPM (version dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1, the one included in Centos 4.3).

Greetings, I would like to install Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 (I need support for SASL authentication via Dovecot) on a Centos 4.4 server. I have already found rpm packages at http://postfix.wl0.org/en/available-packages/ and pages about using the centosplus repo for postfix. Before launching rpm or yum, however, I'd like to ask the list which way you think is the best way to do this. By

Hello, I may need to set up soon a Linux VPS, to be used almost exclusively for handling email (as in "2GB of disk space, 2GB/month of bandwidth would be surely enough") with a fully customized postfix/procmail/dovecot setup. I'd prefer to use Centos, which I already use and know. One reason why I'm asking this here is that I'd really like to be sure, before I go for it,

I'm receiving the centos-request in digest mode. Using Fedora 10 and Evolution. When I tried to reply to a centos-request message inside the digest, the result doesn't seem to look right. I cut/paste the proper subject line (replacing the CentOS Digest, Vol NN, Issue nn text), but some have complained that this approach doesn't allow the original question and replies to be threaded.
