dovecot/openldap auth problems?
Hi folks.
New to both dovecot and openldap. Trying to set up virtual domains
using the wanderingbarque howto:
http://www.wanderingbarque.com/mailserver.html
Platform is RH enterprise 3.
Only difference is I'm trying to use phamm instead of jamm:
http://phamm.rhx.it/
dovecot doesn't seem to want to play nice with my openldap; everything
else (postfix, etc) seems to work alright.

Mail always is delivered to /var/mail/
Hey,
I am setting up Dovecot on Debian with Postfix. I am telling Dovecot
to use maildir:~/Maildir but it persists in dumping mail in mbox format
in /var/mail/username. Can anyone suggest ideas? My config file is
attached.
Thanks

Dovecot startup at boottime fails
Hi,
I am running dovecot 0.99.10.4 on SuSE 9. I installed it using apt-get from
the gwdg repository.
The dovecot service is configured to start at boottime in run level 3 and 5.
However, it dies immediately with this error (/var/log/mail.err):
dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down

Ordering mailboxes
I have a really weird problem. To whit:
I compiled dovecot 0.99.10 on two different systems: a linux-ppc box running
Debian, and a Mac OS X Server v. 10.2.8. It compiled fine on both.
The same Maildir's are being served up on both -- the OS X server exports
home directories to the clients via NFS.
BUT the OS X box orders mailboxes this way:
INBOX
Deleted Items
Sent Items

IMAP folders missing after migrating to Dovecot
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hello all,
I'm migrating to Dovecot from Courier-IMAP. I use Postfix with Maildir
for delivery.
When I use Dovecot as the IMAP server all of my folders are missing, the
only thing that remains is the Inbox folder.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have enclosed my configuration.
Thanks,
Chris

Moving messages takes a longgggggg..... time. (Timeouts?) dovecot.conf help?
Hi,
I'm trying to get dovecot set up better. I am using 1.0alpha3. It
takes a long long time to move messages for some reason. It seems it
may be a timeout thing, because neither the client or server is using
any cpu time or disk i/o or network to speak of. (To move maybe 400
messages, it seems to take maybe half an hour, maybe longer.) With
alpha 2 I was getting messages from

still strugling
Hi all,
After I posted yesterday, I'm still struggling with dovecot 1.0beta1
I installed it on openbsd with no problem. But I can't get it to
authenticate plaintext on Unixware.
I had to add two include files <sys/types.h> and <sys/mkdev.h> in
compat.h because minor and major where undefined on unixware. I doubt that
could fail...

Pam trouble
Hi folks,
I can't get dovecot to authenticate properly against ldap/pam.
I've been fiddling with it for several days now, to no avail. It keeps crashing
with:
Child died with signal 11
The system is Solaris9. Enclosed is a trace of dovecot-auth for a connection to
pop with correct username and password and my config.
Any help is appreciated.

valid_chroot_dirs question
Hello,
I've got a dovecot setup using PAM and real system users. In this setup
I also use pure-ftpd to give local users ftp access to their $HOMEs.
To have pure-ftpd chroot into the user home i replaced /home/user
with /home/user/./ in /etc/passwd. Unfortunately this breaks Dovecot
this way:
Oct 23 18:18:20 localhost dovecot: Invalid chroot directory

rc6 + ssl proxy patch = no go
Timo,
I nervously ran rc6 plus the patch:
http://dovecot.org/tmp/ssl-proxy-openssl.c
on my Solaris 9 box, in production, this morning. My dovecot.conf file is
attached. Like similar reports for BSD, rc6 fell over after an hour and a
half. The final syslog message was:

I rolled back to rc2 for production.

Setting up a 'rootless' server - user and auth_user cannot be the same
I am trying to follow http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/Rootless to set up
a personal dovecot server that does not use 'root' and does not need
to change uids/gids. I'm trying to set it up on a Cygwin personal
system.
The problem I'm running into though, the directions say to set "user"
and "auth_user" to be the same in this setup. However when you do

Questions about mail process chroots
Greetings,
I am configuring a new Dovecot installation, and the way the
valid_chroot_dirs and mail_chroot variables affect the mail processes are a
bit unclear to me. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with more
specific details than the comments in the configuration file do, or maybe
even recommend some values given my configuration.
We have a Debian GNU/Linux system and a mix of users

AUTH_USER variable has invalid value in checkpassword Script
Dear dovecot experts:
We are using client certificates to authenthicate against a
Dovecot server. Our certificates contain a x500UniqueIdentifier.
I'm absolutely sure that the value of the x500UniqueIdentifier
was stored into the AUTH_USER when I tested my setup
last year.
This has somehow changed and now AUTH_USER always
contains the username. This has fatal consequences as now

Chrooting question
Hi, All.
I've got a feeling it's a simple matter and it was discussed on this
list (i've searched the archive) but still all answers i've found didn't
solve this problem.
We want to move from UW-IMAP to dovecot, when users INBOX
is /var/mail/USER_NAME and his folders are ~USER_NAME/mail/.
In addition the host is an FTP server that uses chrooting in order to
prevent users from
