HI I don't know if this is a dovecot issue or a client one. But as Dovecot is the most recent change, I'll start here. I have a server that's been running Courier for about 6 years and in all that time I think I've only ever had 1 issues where an entire mail box was repopped by a webmail client. However, since moving to a new server and dovecot 4 weeks ago, I've now had the

Hi I'm using Dovecot version 1:1.2.15-7 installed on Debian Squeeze via apt-get..

Hi This is a new one on me - I've never seen spammers attempt to use to SASL Auth to inject spam. None of the users they are trying (newsletter, dummy, test, etc.) exist, but what worries me is the illegal chars error - is this a known vulnerability in dovecot they are trying to exploit?

Hi I'm about to upgrade to 2.1.7 in my test environment, but "doveconf -n -c dovecot.1.conf > dovecot.2.conf" is producing a blank file, so I am unsure how to proceed. I know a lot has changed between them, so I don't really want to have to start from scratch unless I have to. I have tried both as my user and with sudo. Simon

Hi I'm very new to Dovecot (been using Courier for 5 years), but I've been persuaded of the merits of Dovecot and since the server needs upgrading that seems like the perfect time/excuse. On a test server, I set up postfix and installed Dovecot (running 32-bit Debian Squeeze, installed from apt-get). I mirrored the mail store (Maildirs, for historical reasons located under

Hi all, I'm setting a mailserver using dovecot version: 2.1.7. On the server I have a couple of system users using PAM authentication and a lot of virtual users using SQL authentication.

Hi I'm running dovecot 1:1.2.15-7 and php webmail application is throwing errors when connecting to IMAP with TLS. Is there away to disable SSL/TLS for localhost connections? I googled, but didn't see anything specific. Can I assume that it's as simple as setting ssl_listen = to the external IP address(es) and leaving listen = * as it is? Thanks. Simon

Folks: I've been running Dovecot 2.0.7 on a Qmail / Vpopmail installation built on Debian Squeeze, with no problems for about a year. Dovecot is used for IMAP/S auth only. Dovecot is built from source. I just upgraded to 2.0.15 but it segfaults whenever an IMAP auth is attempted, regardless of the user who tries to login, whether by webmail (Roundmail) Android phone (K-9 Mail) or iPad

I don't know how this happened. I'm not sure if there is a coredump somewhere because I don't know what user, and I have nothing for 'root' or 'dovecot'. Any advice, or should I make all my coredumps go to a central writable directory so I have better chance of catching it if it happens again? Is it maybe from someone connecting to postfix and causing a SMTP-AUTH
