Hi all, I am in need of some help. Straggling to make something work, trying to configure postfix and dovecote imap server with dovecote replication. Can?t figure out what is wrong with my configuration. Replication is working only for vmail user account, I am getting this error on my secondary server for all other users? dovecot: doveadm: Fatal: setgid(4015(zdokman) from userdb lookup)

Hi, I'm getting errors with my IMAP setup. Basically, everything seems to work. Mail is delivered nicely from Postfix to Dovecot via LMTP. Dovecot does the authentication to LDAP (also for Postfix). Users are able to send mail via authenticated submission (Postfix) and login into IMAP and POP. However, IMAP connections are dropped frequently with an "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP

Greetings all. Please forgive me if I'm posting something that has already been addressed, but my google-foo is not strong enough to find the solution. I've got a dovecot server running version 2.0.19 on Gentoo Hardened. I have Postfix as my MTA, and it is calling the Dovecot LDA to deliver the mail. Everything is working great, mail is being delivered, and the users are happy.

Im sorry to ask another basic question, but Ive tried to find this answer for several hours now and it eludes me. Im getting the following when dovecot tries to deliver an email: May 6 19:29:21 mydomain dovecot: lda: Debug: auth input: jeff home=/opt/imapdata/j/jeff/INBOX uid=1001 gid=999 May 6 19:29:21 mydomain dovecot: lda(jeff): Fatal: setgid(999(vmail) from userdb lookup) failed with

Hi all, Slowly but surely moving forward, I hope...

Hi all Trying to setup dovecot with mysql and postfix, I have configured it as given below. thecot user has the dovecot group as primary, and is also a member of mail and dovecot-users. Still, it can't setgid to dovecot-users. I tried changing the shell for the dovecot user to something useful and chmod'ing a file to dovecot-users, and it work well. Still, no mail comes through

Hello all, I'm trying to get the expire plugin working, but still having issues even with 1.1RC5.

Hi; This is my 6th day installing my first Postfix/Dovecot installation. The Postfix mailing list indicates I've got the MTA under control so now I'm seeking your help with the MDA. I get these errors with legitimate email addresses: Oct 24 11:47:38 myserver dovecot: auth-worker: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Access denied for user

Hello ALL, I got errors on a new installation, maybe I forgot something. The system is Solaris, Dovecot 1.2.10, Postfix 2.7.0, MySQL 5.1.25. Can send mail with dovecot imap, but can`t retrieve the messages. Strange, I can save and retrieve draft messages ok, files are always with postfix:postfix ownership. Sorry if this is newbie question, but can`t find a solution. Syslog info: Apr 19

Sorry if this is a nubbie question, but I?m getting: lda(jlbrown at bordo.com.au)<4444><QFg5KRHVBBxcEQAAYBwt+A>: Fatal: setgid(102 from userdb lookup) failed with euid=501(jlbrown), gid=20(staff), egid=20(staff): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process group set to 102 instead of 20(staff)) How can I fix this? (macOS Mojave, Dovecot 2.3.4)

I'm calling 'deliver' from Postfix and in some cases from Procmail. I set this system up more than six months ago and it's been working flawlessly until yesterday (16:52:19 local time) when it, without any apparent reason, just stopped delivering mails! Lots of checking and googling (I've forgot how exacly I setup the system :), I made 'deliver' SUID and it worked

Hi, I come back with my problem: On debian lenny, using dovecot 1.1.13-2~bpo50+1 I try to configure my setup (with Postfix virtual domains) to use dovecot as lda but nothing happens, as if postfix not delegate to dovecot I am using the contreol panel alternc (http://www.alternc.org).

Have read the comments about Shorewall not being a personal firewall, etc., and am not necessarily advocating such use, but, trying to get into the poster''s head, and doing some creative thinking, thought that possibly some form of EGID rule might help out if there is a reasonable reason behind the question. It is not hard for me to see how something like this could be useful.
