similar to: disable_plaintext_auth = no ignored by dovecot in Ubuntu 10.04

Hi, I'm fighting all weekend on with auth and pam to authenticate local system users. testuser is such local user and is in passwd and shadow. I want to have local system users (testuser is one of them) and virtual users. The virtual part works fine but I cannot get the local user to connect. Still pam fails finding the user. The suggested password mismatch at the end is, in my eyes,

I have been trying to get the virtual domain and mailboxes working on an newly built Ubuntu 10.04 server and am stuck on this error. System is using a postgres database and PostfixAdmin. Thanks in advance for any help. Dave ==> /var/log/mail.err <== Jan 16 13:21:26 radius dovecot: deliver(dave at mydomain.com): Fatal: postmaster_address setting not given ==> /var/log/mail.log

Hi all, after inserting another sieve-rule, I get the following backtrace on deliver. The mail gets delivered into the Mailbox, but as deliver does not exit with 0, postfix bounces the mail. The additional rule is the same as all others in my .dovecot-sieve: > require ["fileinto", "include"]; > > if header :contains ["From"]

Hello all, I am struggeling to get my Dovecot SASL to work within postfix. I have used the configuration example listed on the main-site of dovecot and it basically isn't giving me any success at all. I am probably missing something easy, but after spending a few days testing and walking through everything I could think about I thought figured it was better to ask :) Hope someone can point me

Dear list, I am running dovecot with LDAP. Each account has email in form abc at example.com, and messages are stored at /var/vmail/abc/Maildir. This is an external mail server, and I would like to use a cron job to fetch all messages to an internal server which has slow internet connection. It seems getmail supports multidrop retriever which might fit the bill. However I could not figure out how

Hi All, Relatively new to Dovecot - converting from courier-imap. So far, I've got it working with virtual users (postfixadmin tables), and it seems to be working. I'm trying to get sieve working. It's not, so I tried turning up the logging, and putting it into a separate log file to get it out of the syslog for now. I can get the main dovecot to log, but I cannot get any log

Hi, I just installed dovecot 1.1.11 and am having some issues. Mail appears to be delivered to the Maildirs just fine, but when a client (Thunderbird) tries to retrieve them I get this: dovecot: IMAP(info at aedisit.com): maildir_file_do(/var/mail/ > aedisit.com/info/cur/1251566335.V14I27a91M380600.kim): Filename keeps > changing After turning on mail debug mode, I get this: Aug 29

Hi Timo, a setup like http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Autocreate seems not to work the module is loaded but no subfolder creation at login happens, sorry no log about failures with it simply Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap/lib20_autocreate_plugin.so should i try i.e autocreate = ".Trash/" or is there more info around -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer

hi All, I have a srange problem. Before dovecot there was a courier imap and it worked just fine. The client(s) are the same then before, so I think, this is an server side problem. I have a user with Outlook and he uses pop3 and leaves messages on server. Sometimes the messages get downloaded again, when he starts the outlook. Not all, but 7-9 hours back. uidl format is like it's

Hello, I'm having problems with expire-tool in Dovecot 1.2.6 not finding the mailboxes. I had mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/dovecotmail/%d/%n/mails:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecotmail/%d/%n/indexes in dovecot.conf, but that doesn't work with expire-tool. So I commented that out from dovecot.conf, all the data is in a database anyway. A userdb lookup returns the following for userid at

Hi Timo, using latest dovecot 1.2 and latest thunderbird i noticed if using virtual plugin like here with mysql http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual everthing works like expected until i add a shared namespace Tb then looses its subscriptions under imap to the private namespace only the shared namespace gets shown up , any idea? I dont see something special in the logs why this happens --

Hi list, I'm facing this problem: I have a e few local (system) users and a bunch of virtual users (in MySQL). To make it easy for the big group, I've set a default domain which is not the domain of the server (which is just the servername). So the big group logs in with there short name without @<domain>. BUT the few system users (in passwd) cannot login to pop or imap because

All of the mailboxes on this system are in MailDIR format. None of the users delete mail off of the server after POPing their accounts. This is the present setting: expire = Trash 7 Spam 30 expire_dict = proxy::expire Is that correct for MailDIR style mailboxes? It doesn't appear correct; however, I have not been able to find any specific documentation on expire with MailDIR style
