Since upgrading from Dovecot 2.0.beta4 + patches http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/96496e1d3d12 and http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/aefa279e2c70 to Dovecot 2.0.beta 5, I have started to see the subject error from Dovecot for SASL authentications. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens more often than not. It doesn't seem to affect Postfix's acceptance of the message.

I have just upgraded from 1.2.beta1 to 1.2.beta2.

I have just upgraded to dovecot 1.0.13. All the documentation I can find in the example .conf file and the NEWS and ChangeLog files seems to say that the mail_privileged_group = mail setting is all I should need to make dovecot use group mail to create dotlock files. My understanding from what I read is that mail_privileged_group is used to set the group used while creating dotlock files in (in

Here's my configuration. dovecot -n # 1.0.7: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: /var/spool/mail/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock The above setting was just added in an attempt to resolve the issue.

Hi List, optimizing the configuration on one of our servers (which was hit by a brute force attack on dovecot) showed an odd behavior. Dovecot Version 1.0.7 (CentOS 5.2) The short story: On one of our servers an attacker did a brute force attack on dovecot (pop3). Since the attacker closed and reopened the connection after every user/password combination the logs showed many lines like

Hello, Dovecot is logging authentication failures this way: ------ Jul 12 18:07:19 vps0 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 22 attempts in 172 secs): user=<info>, method=PLAIN, rip=82.95.148.152, lip=1.2.3.4, TLS, session=<QylMqlLhVwBSX5SY> ------ Fail2ban is trying to catch them with this regex: ------ failregex = .*(?:pop3-login|imap-login):.*(?:Authentication

The initial problem I was seeing after upgrade from 2.0beta5 to 2.0beta6 was error messages from my Android phone K9 client that dovecot was reporting -1 messages in various mailboxes. These mailboxes do have the special "Mail System Internal Data" message in them. In trying to get more information for debugging, I tried toenable rawlog using the same configuration I used successfully

I have been running dovecot 1.2.10 without problems. I am trying to install 2.0.beta3. I have I think translated all my configuration customizations correctly, but I have problems. I can start dovecot, but I can't login, at least not with SSL.

I have recently upgraded from Dovecot 1.2.10 to 2.0.beta3. I have Postfix 2.3.3 and use Dovecot to provide SASL auth for Postfix. # dovecot -n # 2.0.beta3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 i686 CentOS release 5 (Final) auth_mechanisms = plain apop login auth_worker_max_count = 5 mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail

some senders on this maillist use a version of thunderbird that adds more then one references header and this imho breaks threading :( -- xpoint

Background. A while back I upgraded my phone to one currently using Android 4.1.2 and K9 mail 4.409. This phone/MUA combination seems at times to go crazy making IMAP connections. At first, I had mail_max_userip_connections = 30 (my largest imap account has 19 folders). The issue I had at that time was multiple errors like Oct 14 17:45:16 sbh16 dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections

I tried Dovecot 1.2.beta1 yesterday. I had been using 1.1.11. I started getting "Panic: POP3(xxx): Trying to allocate 0 bytes" There are two kinds of pop3 users. In the attached log.txt file, user u1 is using a pop3 MUA. For users u2, u3, u4 and u5 fetchmail is coming through an ssh tunnel and retrieving their mail. u1 is able to interact normally with dovecot, but the fetchmail users

Since upgrading from dovecot-2.1.rc1 to dovecot-2.1.rc3, some clients are showing a .subscriptions file in the user's mbox path as a folder. Some clients such as T'bird on Mac OS X create this file listing subscribed mbox files. Other clients such as T'bird on Windows XP show this file as a folder in the folder list even though it cannot be accessed as a folder (dovecot returns CANNOT

hi All, I have a problem, which makes me headache. I can't find out, what is the problem. I have a mail szerver, which works just fine as expected, TB move messages to trash folder after I delete it, and they are moved. I have an other server. If I delete a message, it doesn't move to the Trash folder. As deleted_to_trash plugin is installed, if I only mark messages as deleted, they

I'm seeing strings of failed POP3 login attempts with obvious bogus usernames coming from different IP addresses. Today's originated from 216.31.146.19 (which resolves to neovisionlabs.com). This looks like a botnet attack. I got a similar probe a couple days ago. Is anyone else seeing these? The attack involves trying about 20 different names, about 3-4 seconds apart. Here's a
