I have fail2ban working for EVERYTHING else except dovecot. I have tried using my own custom regex in conjunction with the regex on the dovecot.org site. Neither are picked up by fail2ban and I'm trying to use an imminent attack agaist dovecot, going on now, to my advantage to see when I get the right regexp. Here are my current ones: failregex = .*dovecot: (?:pop3-login|imap-login):

With the release of dovecot 2.0, the community of the Dovecot mailling list, and us at Shelton Computers, would sincerely like to thank the developers of Dovecot. For, if it were not for you, we would be stuck with Courier and would not have the impressive features of Sieve, as opposed to the unmanageable scripts, by end users, of maildrop. *Our gratitude goes to, but not limited to:* *Timo

I was naive to not check the log more thoroughly for changes. I need "dovecot: imap(jerrale at sheltoncomputers.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=1921/2983" to say the rip (ip address) as 1.2.x did; how do I accompish such? Jerrale G SC Senior Admin SC Senior Admin

/etc/dovecot.conf: auth default { mechanisms=plain login cram-md5 passdb { #.............. Windows Live Mail: CRAM-MD5 authentication failed. This could be due to a lack of memory on your system. Your IMAP command could not be sent to the server, due to non-network errors. This could, for example, indicate a lack of memory on your system. Configuration: Account: Sheltoncomputers

When mail is sent from the mail server, it shows up as originating from the MAIN ip address of the server, 173.50.101.11, when the mail server is bound to 173.50.101.12. I have already set smtp_bind_address: 173.50.101.12 in main.cf and 173.50.101.12:smtp inet - - smtpd in master.cf. This prevents smtp connects TO any other ip but 173.50.101.12 BUT mail STILL shows up originating from eth1,

The man pages of "man deliver" do not explain the "-n" option which is confusing a lot of people as to why mailboxes and mail folders aren't being automatically created; yet, the dovecot wiki's both say to use "-n" in postfix's master.cf which keeps dovecot's lda from automatically creating the folders. People are pulling hair over this! The

Is there a reference manual for changes in configuration between dovecot 1.2.X to 2.0 rc5. I know there is a config upgrade tool but I would rather learn the new changes and then implement them? -- Jerrale G. Jerrale G. SC Senior Admin

We have used the great managesieve you have merged together, with sieve, to create pigeonhole. However, when a user creates a custom script through a GUI of ours, the default, as we expected, would be ignored. Maybe you could add a retain_sieve_global=yes|no setting OR be more complex by having the sieve_global_dir copied to the users sieve_dir on first managesieve script save, if another

Hi All, Loving Dovecot after several years with Cyrus. This might be more a general question, but this seemed the best place to ask. The idea is to just add up all the values of quotes I've sent in a month. I want to search my Sent mail folder for all messages with a certain subject, then "grep" out a certain line that has a dollar ($) figure, and add up those figures. The idea

With the expire running from mysql, on 2.0.1, we get no errors with: " doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 7d" we have the mail_plugins defined differently for each protocol ({imap=quota,expire,imap_quota} {pop3=quota,expire} {lda=quota,expire,sieve}). When trying "doveadm quota get -u someone at ourdomains.com" the output is: "doveadm(root): Fatal: Unknown

I don't know if dovecot 2.0 will have this already or not but, when dovecot is stopped or started, it would be nice to have the PID reported in the log for various uses. Jerrale Gayle SC Senior Admin

2.0 could include a directory service, like MS Exchange, where people's address books within IMAP clients could be stored on the server and retrievable by the clients. Its a headache for users to roam from pc to pc and not have someone's address stored locally on another. Jerrale G SC Senior Admin

What has changed in 2.0.3 to make dovecot start storing the inbox in a "com" subdirectory of "user at domain"directory in the inbox folder? I am guessing I need to add ":INBOX=/home/mail/%d/%n/mail/" to: mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n/mail:CONTROL=/home/mail/control/%d/%n:INDEX=/home/mail/index/%d/%n The inbox was never defined as it automatically put

Hi, using PAM, how can I configure how many attempts a user can make to connect, and if exceeding a certain number, block him for a specified amount of time? Any idea what the defaults are?
