Running dovecot 1.2.9 on a Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS virtual machine. Postfix receives messages and hands them over to deliver for local storage. Today two mails came in that could not be found allthough they got delivered. What catches my eye is the "?" in the msgid: Jan 5 21:10:47 mail dovecot: deliver(consulting): msgid=? <14847_1294258245_ZZh0g1h9eLfxL.00_fc2fe6e910f03.4d24de54 at

The wiki says Dovecot supports SASL EXTERNAL as of version 1.2. I couldn't find any documentation telling me how I would configure SASL EXTERNAL. Is there any? p at rick -- state of mind Digitale Kommunikation http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstra?e 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 M?nchen Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht M?nchen Partnerschaftsregister

automx I am pleased to announce automx a tool that makes setting up a mail account easy. All your users need to provide is real name, mail address and password. Their mail client and automx will safely handle the rest. Say goodbye to mistyped server settings! Put an end to endless phone calls trying to coach users to configure settings, whose dialogs they can't find. Raise user satisfaction,

Has anybody ever bothered to measure how many concurrent IMAP sessions dovecot can handle? I know it depends on hardware, filesystem, mailbox type etc., but what exactly controls the number and what have people on the list measured? p at rick -- state of mind Digitale Kommunikation http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstra?e 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 M?nchen

Timo, would you consider adding support for "IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes" <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6154.txt> any time near in the future? I would really love to get rid of all those folders created by all those different mail clients just because they can't agree to use the same folder for special purpose. Obviously clients need to support it too.

Hi I keep on getting errors and can't connect/login to Dovecot. I did my research but unfortunately without success. It is for sure not ulimit because ulimit is set to unlimited per default already. Still , it complains about "Too many open files" but this is a test system and the service dovecot and postfix have just been started. No one except me is testing on this system.

hi.. Dovecot Version 1.2.9 im trying to login to dovecot with my ldap uid. currently im using: user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uid=mail=maildir:/mail/%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=gosaMailAccount)(|(mail=%u)(gosaMailAlternateAddress=%u))) to match the mailaddress and deliver the mail to the users homdir (/mail/uid_of_the_user) But i cant login to dovecot: pass_attrs =

It seems that there is no standard for folder names that deal with typical message classes such as drafts, outbox, sent, spam etc. At least there's no common sense on a naming convention that tells how client should handle this. Worse than this, most IMAP clients auto-create folders according to their own naming convention if they don't exist. Every client introduces its own view. Users

I am using OpenLDAP to read Dovecot User settings and want to use TLS for user_attrs and pass_attrs queries. So I set "tls = yes" and it kept failing until I told the OpenLDAP ldap client in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf where the CA certificate can be found. So far so good. Now just in case... could I tell dovecot to read the OpenLDAP client settings from a non default configuration file e.g.

[EDIT]: Sorry about the second mail. ignore the first one - it had try & and error mistakes in. Problem is still the very same as explaned below. Thanks a lot. Hi, since days I'm trying to substitude my SQL based Postfix/Dovecot mail server by a LDAP based setup. Everything seems to go smooth so far - thanks to the many how to and Dovecot wiki. Unfortunately I'm struggeling,

Hi there, I'm trying to let dovecot generate the userhome directory dynamicly via user_attr. If "uid" is returned from LDAP before "mail" everything is fine, but if "mail" is delivered before "uid" the localpart of the mailaddress is used in home path. e.g.: Mail: testuser at domain.de UID : test123 sometimes home is /mail/store/testuser and

I am trying to tell Dovecot deliver to use $mail_location as the location to store mail for system users. From the docs I've read <http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation> I believe this is possible, but mail to my system users always gets delivered to their /home/<USERNAME> homedirectory. Here's what I've done so far: # Postfix main.cf mailbox_command =

Timo, we want to implement SPECIAL-USE in Thunderbird (TB), but we've run into problems. I believe you could help change that. Here's the problem: By default TB only lists subscribed (LSUB) folders when it accesses an IMAP server. However when I do a LSUB on recent Dovecot 2.1 code from mercurial I don't get to see the SPECIAL-USE flags. Therefore TB fails to identify which folders

Timo, following our discussion on dovecot stats at the LinuxTag 2012 my team and I sat down and put together a list of stat items we think to be useful in daily dovecot usage. Besides pulling together all the data we also think it would be useful to have an SNMP interface to access the stats. Our offer to create and contribute a standalone web interface for dovecot stats stands. Here are the

Hello, I'm figuring out how to auth users against FreeIPA and I wonder if someone did this without GSAPI. My users are stored in a mysql DB where I wonder what I shall use as authname, the username or the mailaddress. As the mailaddress is always unique it could be best but if a user has multiple mailaddresses under seperate domains username might be better. Any clue here and maybe an

Hi, I am using Dovecot 1.1.13 (from a Debian package). I was having problems using user_attrs to set 'mail' and 'home'. Initially I tried: user_attrs = uid=mail=maildir:/var/mail/virtual/users/%$/Maildir/,uid=home=/var/mail/virtual/users/%$/ This appeared to set 'home' but not 'mail'. In the debug lot I see: May 12 15:24:40 alpha dovecot: auth(default):

Hi list and timo, I use dovecot lda with ldap to do a email => user lookup. I experienced that if a Mailaddress matches several users the delivery is aborted. ---------------- dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(christian.test at securepoint.de): LDAP search returned multiple entries dovecot: auth: ldap(christian.test at securepoint.de): unknown user dovecot: lda: Error: user christian.test at

After I found out that {CRYPT} doesn't support passwords longer than 8 characters, I decided to switch over to MD5 for user passwords in my LDAP database. However, while I have no problem with Postfix + SASL, Dovecot fails to authenticate. Relevant bits from /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf: user_attrs = mailAddress,,,,, # The search string is identical to what's found in /etc/saslauthd.conf:

Hello to all of you! ;-) My first post on this list. I frequently get this error in dovecot.log every time a user logs in and out: ============================= imap(mailaddress): Error: quota: Unknown namespace: Trash ============================= When I change my conf.d/90-quota.conf from "Trash" to ".Trash" (as this is the imap/maildir folder name, the error stays the
