Hello! I've tried to set up dovecot in conjuction with vpopmail, and running it under djb's tcpserver instead of (x)inetd. Btw - there was no reference to setting dovecot up using (x)inetd either in the manuals/faqs i read, though I didn't search all that hard. Anyway, back to my Q: vpopmail uses vchkpw as an authentication mechanism, and with tcpserver I can do relaycontrol (based

Hey all, It seems that dovecot does NOT call vchkpw properly when using vpopmail-style authentication, I can only guess that it reads the vpasswd{,.cdb} files directly. This is indicated by the syslog log for the mail facitily which reads: Jun 30 16:51:30 [vpopmail] vchkpw-smtp: (PLAIN) login success blah at blah.com:24.17.153.137 Jun 30 17:16:25 [pop3-login] Login: blah at blah.com

Hi there, I'm working on converting my server from using bincimap to dovecot. I seem to be having some trouble with folders, however. Binc was set up like this : depot = "IMAPdir", /* Use Maildir++ style type = "Maildir", /* only Maildir path = "Maildir", /* default

Hello, I'm migrating many accounts to a new server with vpopmail 5.4.33 and dovecot 2.0.11. I've already vpopmail 5.4.32 and dovecot 1.2.16 on others servers running without problems. With dovecot 2.0.11 my lastauth file is not updated. This file usually is update on any access (smtp, pop3, imap) with the client's IP, for every mailbox. Now it's updated only when a client

I was just wondering how dovecot interacts with vpopmail. Does it just call the vchkpw and pass the username and password to it then wait for a it to tell dovecot weather the user is vaild or not ? Does vchkpw pass back the users homedir ? PS. My plan is to just replace vchkpw with a script/program of own. that dovecot can call to auth a user again xmail passwd file. And using "auth_passdb

Hey Guys, I'm using vpopmail, and was told here that I need to use the vchkpw passwd module to authenticate AND get my lastauth data updated. It works like a charm, but I've come across another minor issue. vchkpw sets the 'connection-type' based on the variable TCPLOCALPORT If that's not set, it defaults to pop. What this does in my environment is cause someone who is

Hello, I'm using dovecot 2.1.1 with vpopmail 5.4.30 with multiples domains and I have problems setting up synchronization in between multiple computers. All act like master (my clients can connect to any of the them and read their emails either via POP3 either via IMAP, inbound email gets on any of the machines). Each machine is on a different continent, there is no shared drive in between

Hi, i'm testing Dovecot LDA to works with qmail and vpopmail. I have added into a .qmail for a users this line: root at test.com: /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/0/test# cat .qmail | /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER This is my dovecont conf: # dovecot -n # 1.1.7: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.24-21-server x86_64 Ubuntu 8.04.1 log_path:

Hi all. We've just migrated our back-end NFS mailstore from FC1 systems to CentOS4 and are experiencing problems/delays with vpopmail and user Maildirs. IMAP is fine, it's just POP access that causes us problems. Now, NFS mounts successfully, the clients can see /home/vpopmail and serve content as we would expect. IMAP works perfectly and sees new messages as soon as they're

I have 3 servers running dovecot 1.0.10. 2 of them are configured with a shared/public namespace, but I'm having trouble getting it to work on the third, even with 2 working examples to go by. There's something I'm missing, and I'm hoping that someone here can see/tell what it is. I've created the maildir for sharing: # cd /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com # maildirmake

Hi, First, I'm not sure if dovecot should alter this, but it seems vpopmail writes the IP into the 'remote_ip' field instead of the auth type. Dovecot still writes the auth type.? I want both. So I modified my vpopmail install to write an additional field into the lastauth table.? My custom vpopmail writes the remote IP into remote_ip, and the auth type into a 'type'

Hi list, I am using dovecot deliver for the local mail delivery with qmail. this is working fine. but when mail is sent to invalid user, it gets bounced back with error "I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long." rather "no mailbox here by that name" I could find proper solution, kindly guide to resolve it. /var/log/maillog Oct 24

I'm rehashing/reliving my issues from 2010: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-October/053528.html In short, when calling deliver from vdelivermail (or procmail), and delivering via NFS to Maildir, the timestamp on the file is GMT.? If procmail or vdelivermail completely handle the email, the timestamp is CST. The server is set to CST. What's changed from the original issue??

Hello, I run Dovecot?2.3.2.1 and I keep separate index / control files: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/liveindexes/indexes/%d/%n:CONTROL=/liveindexes/control/%d/%n When I try to set an ACL on a folder, I get this error: Dec 26 17:35:56 imap2 dovecot: imap(user at domain.com): Error: file_dotlock_open(/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/Maildir/.Test/dovecot-acl) failed: Resource

Dear Timo thank you for the help your giving me these. I want to set expire plugin only for some domains in the same way I set autocreate plugin. vchkpw-wrapper.sh #!/bin/bash DOMAIN=`echo $VPOPUSER|sed s/^.*@//` echo $USER > /tmp/autocreate echo $DOMAIN >> /tmp/autocreate if [ "$DOMAIN" = "operaciones.qnet.com.pe" ]; then export USERDB_AUTOCREATE=INBOX.Spam

Hi, i have qmail + vpopmail + dovecot + squirrelmail 0.99.14 on Fedora Core 4. Qmail includes its own pop3 server, and everybody is able to access it from outside. Dovecot is used only locally by SquirrelMail - so everybody can access via webmail. I'd like to make imap directly available from outside, but only for a few selected domains (NOT ip addresses!), while leaving everyone able to

Alright, but do you know why the error happens ?

Hi, This is regarding updating dovecot.index.cache. I have few backup ids configured. these are used only when old mail needs to be retrieved. usually these mailboxes contains more then 9,000 mails. while login to webmail, imap consumption is high, which creates performance related issues for regular mailboxes. to resolve this i have to move heavy mailbox to dedicated server. before doing
