similar to: MUAs creating different "Sent" folders

I have to face it, my users are retards: * either they're using crap MUAs which will not display their quota to them * or they're using POP with "leave mail on server" and will never notice their quota, unless it's too late * and once their quota is exceeded, their mails will bounce -- they'll never notice that, though. Thus I need a feature in dovecot that will

Hi! I upgraded the 2.2 packages today (from 2:2.2.28-1~auto+5 to 2:2.2.28-1~auto+8) I now I'm getting an error: Mar 20 13:25:58 mproxy dovecot: auth: Error: imapc(email.charite.de:993): Couldn't initialize SSL context: Can't verify remote server certs without trusted CAs (ssl_client_ca_* settings) I checked, and alas, I had ssl_client_ca_dir = ssl_client_ca_file = So I set:

I'm thinking of migrating from 1.1.7 (default RPM on SUSE 11.1) to 2.0.6 compiled from source using the default locations. Any Gotchas to expect that are different to an upgrade from 1.2? Any hints from moving from RPM to compiling from source and retaining the default configuration under /usr/local? TIA -- Brian Duffell RiscPC600 | VRPC Sa-Adjust RISC OS 6.10 96Mb Linux PCs

I'm seeing the first occurence of that problem on the 10th of october! I was using (prior to the 10th) : 2.3.0~alpha0-1~auto+371 On the 10th I upgraded (16:04) to:

Due to the ongoing performance issues with 2.0.x I switched back to 1.2.15 yesterday evening, with no changes to the machine or my users. (I migrated from 1.2.15 to 2.0.x by converting the existing config) Today, we have MUCH LESS load, with the same number of logins/min. I cannot say what exactly causes this immense increase in load, but one observation is that the time spent in system() has

After upgrading from 2.2.28-1~auto+45 to 2.2.29-1~auto+25 I'm gettings this: May 31 16:44:31 mproxy dovecot: auth: Fatal: passdb imap: Cannot verify certificate without ssl_ca_dir or ssl_ca_file setting May 31 16:44:31 mproxy dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 8 secs May 31 16:44:31 mproxy dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken

During norml operation this morning we're seeing a significantly increased load on the IMAP server (factor 5, from 5 to 25). Does dovecot need to rebuild index files or perform other IO intensive operations after the upgrade? We're using Maildir Our monitoring shows increased "system" time. We're runnign fewer processes, the IO rate ist identical to yesterday, memory usage

How exactly is LMTP proxying supposed to work? According to the example on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy I'm only seeing "proxy" in the password_query statements. But LMTP never sends a password. IMAP Proxying is working OK: Sep 24 12:51:09 imap-login: Info: proxy(ralf.hildebrandt at charite.de): started proxying to dovecot.charite.de:993:

3 years ago (!) I aksed about this and finally I implemented it today: >> # NEW >> passdb { >> driver = passwd >> # firstname.lastname at charite.de:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):user=realloginname >> args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot.login_via_email >> } >If you're only using it as a passdb, you don't need the uid/gid/home.

All over a sudden the getquota plugin in SquirrelMail doesn't work anymore. I activated debugging an got: IMAP command sent: a001 GETQUOTAROOT "INBOX" IMAP response received: Array ( [0] => * QUOTAROOT "INBOX" "" [1] => * QUOTA "" () ) A manual test results in: .

Hi all, are there any pitfalls known for the migration from 2.0.18 to 2.1? Can I simply stop dovecot, make install and start again? --Frank Elsner

Some of our users use to login as firstname.lastname or firstname.lastname at charite.de instead of using the "correct" "flastname" login name. In order to get this behaviour a long-gone co-worker wrote an authdaemon.pl, which speaks the courier-authdaemon protocol. How can I emulate this behaviour with dovecot? Basically, all I need is a usernamen mapping ala:

When starting 2.0.5, I'm getting: # /usr/dovecot-2/sbin/dovecot -F doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=4096 } is lower than required under max. load (12288) doveconf: Fatal: execvp(/usr/dovecot-2/sbin/dovecot) failed: Argument list too long Argument list too long?
