http://dovecot.org/patches/mbox-snarf-plugin.c Also committed to CVS HEAD. Usage: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u protocol imap { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } plugin { mbox_snarf = ~/mbox } If ~/mbox doesn't exist, nothing special is done. If ~/mbox exists, it's treated as INBOX and mails are moved from /var/mail/%u

I'm having a problem with mbox snarf not looking at /var/spool/mail/ when in idle mode thus never giving me a RECENT line even though there are new messages in /var/spool/mail/ . Here are the imap commands to reproduce the problem: 1 login userid password 2 select inbox 3 idle When I run "select inbox" it does see my messages in /var/spool/mail/ and moves them over fine.

I've now upgraded dovecot from 2.0.21 to 2.1.10 and the good news is I no longer see dovecot crashing when loading the snarf plugin however snarf still does not do anything except make the inbox disappear. I've come to the conclusion that either snarf does not actually work, possible, but I doubt it, or more likely I have a configuration issue preventing it from working. The system is

Two weeks ago we switched all our IMAP users (around 25,000) from the Washington IMAP server to Dovecot, and since then there have been several occasions when reading new email just hangs, and duplicate emails appear. We are using the 'snarf' plugin to copy new email to the inbox, and it looks as though the problems are caused by file locking. We have been using the Washington IMAP server

I've been using uw-imap for some time on my linux system and have been running into issues with it so I've decided to move to Dovecote, so far it seems to have solved the issues I've been having however I need/want to move the incoming emails out of /var/spool/mail/{user} in the same (or similar fashion) that uw-imap did, and I found the snarf plugin. However whenever I enable the

I've got a few errors I'm trying to track down, probably all related...

Hello, I have used dovecot to replace an ageing wu-imap installation using the mbox_snarf plugin however I have noticed that when we have more than one client checking the INBOX we then have messages being duplicated in the INBOX. Below is the configuration used as requested in the bug report page. I have confirmed that the duplicates are being caused by dovecot by doing an strace of both

I'm getting this error: May 1 09:09:30 tr27n12.aset.psu.edu syslog: PSU mbox-snarf name is INBOX May 1 09:09:30 tr27n12.aset.psu.edu dovecot: Panic: IMAP(tstem38): file istream-mail-stats.c: line 75: assertion failed: (ret != -1 || stream->istream.eof || stream->istream.stream_errno != 0) Will this error go away before the general 1.2 release?

Hi, I am having problems with Dovecot 1.0.3 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 when using a new user account without any mbox files present. Directory /home/$user/.imap_mail/ does not exist when Thunderbird first tries to login using IMAP to the account. On login this directory is created with a zero byte Trash file and .subscriptions containing string "Trash", so far, so good. Now I create a

I already wrote to Timo, but I thought some others on this list may have had a similar situation. So here goes: The scenario at Michigan Technological University stems from long standing traditions and policies that probably won't change. That said, two of the policies are 1.)we don't bounce mail and 2.)we guarantee delivery when we accept a piece of mail. The UW IMAP

Hi chaps We're using the mbox_snarf plugin to snarf mail from /var/mail/%U to ~%U/Mail/inbox and using dotlocking on all accesses. This is on Solaris with NFS mounted home directories. We're getting a few (very few) of these for just a couple of users: Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy Which, having searched, I see some discussion of in the

Hello everyone, I tried to compile the mbox-snarf-plugin.c (downloaded today, so I assume it's the most recent version available) on AIX 5.3 with gcc 4.0. Building Dovecot 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 works fine. [root at aix root]# export DOVECOT=/root/dovecot-1.0.1 [root at aix root]# gcc -fPIC -shared -Wall -I$DOVECOT -I$DOVECOT/src/lib -I$DOVECOT/src/lib-storage -I$DOVECOT/src/lib-mail -I

I sent the following message to the list nearly two weeks ago and didn't receive a single response. In fact, I haven't received any replies to the last 3-4 questions I have asked (over the past 6 months). Maybe it is my wording??? I see the messages in the digest, so I know they are going to the list. :-) I have no right to complain and only cause to be very happy with the rest of

Timo, thank you for the reply to my question about shared folders yesterday. I'm now trying to get quota reporting working consistently. This is with dovecot 1.2.11 in solaris 10 sparc. We have local quotas for the mail spool (/a1) and quotas for home directories. All are UFS and have rpc (rquota) working fine. With just this: protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } My

On our campus, we have an AD forest. Our particular department has a number of samba servers that authenticate to one tree of that AD forest. All of our users have accounts in LDAP for unix and AD for windows. We don't want/need winbind for authentication. However, we would like the ability of setting ACLs on the samba server from windows clients. So, I assume I need a mapping of unix

Hi, We are planning to use Dovecot-2.0.5 (Maildir format) as IMAP server. Currently, we are using Postfix+UW-Imap (mbox format) with the following configuration: - Postfix: Sends new messages to /var/mail/user - UW-IMAP: Reads mails from /var/mail/user and moves them to ~/nsmail/mbox Using that configuration, when a user overtakes his HOME?s quota, the MTA is still able to send new messages

In case this hasn't already been reported or discussed... It took some doing for me to get openssh working on HPUX 11i. The fixes are quite simple. First, one must have the IPV6 package installed: em 512# swlist -l product | grep IPV6 IPV6AA A.01.01.5D IPv6 11i product Second, I have to edit config.h to undefine HAVE_GETADDRINFO. Without IPV6, ssh can't connect

We're currently running 2.1.16. I've been wanting to update to a 2.2.X version, but have been running into problems, even with the latest (2.2.12). I'm not sure at what version this issue appeared, but I believe I've tried 2.2.10, 2.2.11, and now 2.2.12. We have a shared maildir setup. With that configuration in place and with a user in the dovecot-acl file, I can do the

We just upgraded from 2.1.16 to 2.2.13. One user is experiencing problems when using the shared namespace. Specifically it happens when opening/reading a message and when deleting messages. These functions work for other users. So far, this appears to be only affecting one user. The shared folder is a local ext4 file system and utilizes acls # 2.2.13:
