similar to: v2.0.beta6 released

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/ I just did the initial commit for master process rewrite, which marks the beginning of Dovecot v2.0. Several things are still missing/broken, but at least I was just able to successfully log in using imap :) I left v1.3 hg tree there for now, but once v2.0 tree is fully usable I'll just delete the v1.3 tree. Note the new dovecot-master-example.conf, which

Running revision 9492:3efdbaab2960(Mon Nov 23) on AIX 5.3. I run dovecot out of inetd. Every once in a while I get the following error: Dovecot is already running with PID 2592842 (read from /usr/ladmin/dovecot-1.2.8/var/run/dovecot/master.pid) when I try to connect to the imap port. -Jonathan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm sure it comes from my being a gormless idiot, but whatever is the -UKWS argument immediately after the mb2md.pl invocation? > $MB2MD -UKWS -s "$INBOX" -d "$WORKING" As always, reading the idiom of someone else's scripting is an education. And some of it wouldn't work with native AIX sh/ksh, so changed the functions: > folders_hash() { > local

Our DC has been using a Verisign certificate. Over the past year, we've been using a Digicert Wildcard Plus certificate for almost all of our machines, and I wanted to switched over our DC mailserver. I used the following command to generate the CSR and key: openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -out star_bard_edu.csr -keyout star_bard_edu.key -subj "/C=US/ST=NY/L=ourtown/O=Bard

I purely love that kind of crap. As if presentations meant anything, as if there aren't all kinds of scholarly work about theoretical perfect world algorithms and conceptual systems that will never be implemented and are as practical and effective as wings on a pig. Please. I'm reminded of the story about how, during the American Civil War, when the North had finally, after years of

I'm moving back to Finland tomorrow. It's probably going to take a week or so until things settle down and I'm again back to coding.

After V1.2 had been up for a while, I started seeing tons of syslog error messages like this: Nov 5 09:11:52 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(sdean): stat(/var/dcindx/sdean/.imap/DadEstate) failed: Permission denied (euid=202(sdean) egid=200(hcrc) missing +x perm: /var/dcindx) Ownernship and Permissions are: The index filesystem 2726 root at mercury:/var/dcindx ## ls -ald drwx--S---

It's getting more and more annoying to have separate plugin directories for lda, pop3 and imap. Currently all the plugins are installed into $lib/dovecot/ and then symlinked to the lda, pop3, imap directories. The original reason was that v0.99 just loaded everything in those directories since there was no mail_plugins setting. But then there are things like expire-tool and convert-tool (and

Because of user access growth, the number of processes associated with IMAP has increased and I thought to change some of the configured parms. dovecot -n yields: # 1.1.14: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: AIX 1 005A928C4C00 listen: *:143 ssl_listen: *:993 disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login

Hello, compiling dovecot-2.0.beta6 under Solaris 9 runs into an error.

<permit me my perhaps foolish preference...an explanation> I run mail service for a small college. I've long joked that if someone stole the mail server, the phone would ring before the alarm (which has a 1 minute delay) did, that the user base expected 25x8x367 coverage. Making updates/upgrades to the mail server feels like a tightrope walk with no net. I always appreciated

I guess the alert function is not part of the spec, because it appears to be unimplemented in Dovecot, even though most clients implement it. Timo, I would hope this would be easy to implement, and it's functionality that will be valuable to every installation. Here's why. America recently had the tragedy of a shooting rampage on a large university campus (yes, America should do

Hi All.. Am working on continous backup of mailboxes using rsync(for e.g by running rsync every 2 min) Things gets more complicated when users create Subfolders in INBOX , SENT , etc.. If anyone among you did that plz guide & advise. Thanks CoolAtt _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go. Get Windows Live Hotmail Free.

Hello all, I am trying to set up Dovecot to use a particular maildir folder hierarchy and have a problem that relates to the inbox. the folder hierarchy I want in /.../Maildir/ is: .inbox cur new tmp .imap.index.files-for-inbox .sent-items cur new tmp .imap.index.files-for-sent-items however the hierarchy that dovecot gives me is .inbox (unused) .INBOX .imap.index.files-for-.INBOX

Hi, AIX's implementation of posix_fallocate is a little bit, let me say, peculiar. Attached is a patch to "fix" (=work around) this. Without you'll see this in the logs: Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): posix_fallocate() failed: File exists Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): file_set_size() failed with mbox file

Is there a way to limit the amount of maildir folders a user can have? Also is there is hard limit on the amount of folders dovecot can handle? I have a user who has over 3000 folder (including subfolders) that is having issues with delays in loading, moving, and deleting messages. Thanks in advance Jeff N.

Want to have some users with Maildir, some with mbox, as I migrate from mbox format to maildir over the space of a month. After everyone is converted to maildir, I'll change the mail_location in dovecot.conf. During the interim, can I use the Custom mailbox location script (at the bottom of the Mail Location DC Wiki page)? > if [ -d $HOME/.maildir ]; then > export

You can probably guess from my flood of mails that I'm no longer busy. I still have a couple of exams but since I haven't spent any time at all studying for them or attending the lectures, I can just as easily leave them for next year. I've read and answered most of the "easy" mails in this list and in my INBOX. I'll try to answer the rest of them this weekend, so no

From reading the wiki for a filesystem quota, I took my shot at 1) building my binaries using the mods in AIXPluginsSupport 2) changing dovecot.conf and 3) putting the plugins in the library But I'm getting this error message when I invoke dovecot: Plugin imap_quota not found from directory /usr/local/lib/dovecot Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 It would seem that a) I have
