I was reading "conf.d/10-director.conf" and it mentions Dovecot proxy. I've been using perdition in the past for my pop/imap proxying needs and wasn't sure if Director could also use perdition or if it only works with Dovecots proxying. Thanks!

Hello, I've just finished transiting our proxies from perdition to dovecot (2.1.7-7 Debian). Yesterday 12 messages (all within the same second) like this caught my attention: --- Apr 25 17:19:09 pp11 dovecot: auth: Warning: proxy(redacted at gol.com,xx.xx.xx.xx,<26hUEivbfQBlMrMS>): DNS lookup for mb04.dentaku.gol.com took 5.002 s --- Now this machine at that time was handling a load

The wiki <http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy> page says this: "The connections created to the destination server can't be TLS/SSL encrypted.". Hrmm. Right now, with perdition, I'm forcing the use of STARTTLS on the internal connections. I'd just as soon get rid of perdition (to have one less moving part in my architecture), but I need the

Hi, I have two load-balanced dovecot servers using a single NFS mount. The version is 1.2.11. I chose this so that if one server goes down the other will take up the load, and if my load is too much for one server I just have to add more identical servers. It works, but I wish to move to SAN storage because the NFS server is exhibiting irregular performance. (I spent a lot of time with tcpdump to

Is it possible to use Dovecot frontends in front of UWash backends? I need a proxy pool ASAP. There is not sufficient time to migrate the backends for 40,000+ users so they have to stay UW for now. I have been looking at Perdition but concerned about performance under load. Dovecot looks really promising with it's non-forking mode. I need simple dumb frontends no local mail. Other

Hi, I have been reading the acl documentation and it seems that a "connect acl" is not available. I need to limit the users that can login in an IP number, is that posible with dovecot 1.0? (i.e. only these users can login from the Internet) Or a new plugin should be written? It is complicated to do that? Thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. | http://tinymailto.com/oliver Asuncion

I'm a database noob, and it really seems like it would be overkill for my setup: I just want to proxy all connections from my DMZ to my internal mail server -- same internal server for all users. I used to use perdition for this set up, but am having issues getting it to play nicely with my new servers. Can I bypass all of the SQL stuff and just have dovecot forward all POP/IMAP

hi- i have a configuration in which i'm using different passdb/userdb settings for each of imap, lmtp and smtp [without getting too far off on a tangent, this is so ldap group membership can be used to independently control authorization for receiving [lmtp], retrieving [imap], and sending [smtp/postfix] of email. each passdb/userdb uses a different search filter.] when i use this as my

I have an ldap server for which each entry includes the email address and the username portion of the email address for authentication. Authentication works by username if the username is unique among all the entries. I need to now add some users which must authenticate even if the username is not unique. I figured one way to do this would be to add a second user/pass db which puts further

Hi! I am about to migrate a perdition-based IMAP/POP3 proxy to Dovecot. Unfortunately some users are behind a firewall/NAT setup which throws away seemingly idle TCP connections sooner than the established default of 24 hours (more likely after 30 minutes ...) resulting in all kinds of weird client behavior. And unfortunately? this firewall/NAT setup is outside of my control and I have no means

Hi, Are there any big Dovecot sites (say 50,000-100,000) users on this list? What sort of hardware do you use. What sort of problems do you see? Many thanks, Jonathan.

Hi, The dovecot version is 2.2.33.2 and we are using LDAP to do the authentication for SMTP service. We have the following configuration in auth-ldap.conf.ext to deny some users for LDAP auth. passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/deny.smtp driver = passwd-file deny = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } And now we want to change the mechanism and only users

Hello, I'm using the gstat package within R for an automated procedure that uses ordinary kriging. I can see that there is a logical ("singular") atrtibute of some adjusted model semivariograms: .- attr(*, "singular")= logi TRUE I cannot find documentation about the exact meaning and the implications of this attribute, and I dont know anything about the inner calculations

Hi all, I have some IMAP servers fronted with separate perdition processes, and it would be ideal if I could collapse this down to having dovecot do both the IMAP proxying and the IMAP serving at the same time on the same IP addresses. One of the fields in my LDAP entries contains the canonical name of the server that hosts their mailbox, and if I follow the manual at

hi.... i using dovecot 1.0rc26 and i started to configure quota plugin but i think its not working fine. i configure like suggested in http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota in dovecot.conf: protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } plugin { # 10 MB quota limit quota = maildir:storage=10240 } in dovecot-ldap.conf: user_attrs =

This question is off topic. I ask this list because the question is related to security and IMAP and I guess the people in this list know a lot about both of that. Is there a secure reverse proxy for the IMAP protocol? Something you can install on a bastion host which checks the IMAP traffic before forwarding it to the internal IMAP server? There are these proxies for WebMail to IMAP connections

I'm working on migrating to Dovecot. At the moment, I have a mail path that includes the domain, so I'm using %d to get that. However, if users authenticate without specifying a domain (i.e. using "bob" instead of "bob at wiktel.com"), then %d expands to nothing. I'd like to have that expand to a default domain (wiktel.com) instead. Is that possible? Thanks,

Hi, I setup a rather large POP3/IMAP configuration and want to use dovecot proxying feature. I have noted that the capability announce when connecting via the proxies are not the same before you are authenticated and after. Before you are authenticated the proxy announce is own capability and after it announce the final server capability. The problem is that some (most ? all ?) mail client ask

Hello all. I have 2 Dovecot IMAP servers with different mailboxes. What serves different email domains. I want to add one Dovecot Proxy server and make him understand based on user domain - were it need to transfer a connection. I use LDAP auth based on "mail" attribute. It is possible? P.S. Proxy documentation at dovecot.org not help at all and seems to not complited. :-( --
