Hello people, I have been experiencing a weird problem with 4.8-STABLE for a long time. I was ignoring it, thinking that it was a problem with the SCSI disks or perhaps the contoller. I changed the disks from the original Intel box to a Compaq box and I still noticed the problem was there. What happened is that all of a sudden, the disk would 'fill' up with nothing! Yes, that's true.

Any *BSD user on this list already having a means of rotating the dovecot logfile?

Hello Everyone, I am playing with the $subject matter using 1.0alpha4, and thanks to the archives, I lifted this one from Alexander Shikoff off and used it in my setup. auth default { mechanisms = plain user = root passdb pam { args = pop3 } passdb sql { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf }

Hello everyone, The problem below has been reported, but I did not see any response! <cut> | | I'm also seeing this bug while testing the forthcoming 1.0.b7 FreeBSD | | port under 6.1-PRERELEASE: | | | | Info: imap-login: Login: user=<wibble>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.0.0.2, | | lip=10.0.0.2, TLS | | dovecot: Error: IMAP(isometry): Unrecognized event: kevent {.ident = | |

It would be great to have a HOWTO in the wiki, on how to restrict services by username in dovecot, so some users are allowed IMAP and others not allowed. As concerns restricting users by IP, I believe that is a bad idea. It's almost a useless idea, imnsho, because they can connect from another IP. It's easy to restrict services by IP using a firewall or by using inetd. -Wash

I am configuring dovecot 1.0rc7 to authenticate users (system users) in /etc/passwd. Is it possible to use a different auth mechanism, other than "plain", when the encrypted password is in /etc/master.passwd (BSD style)? -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php --

Hi people, I am trying to migrate some users from tpop3d (Maildir mailboxes) to dovecot. The most important aspect of this migration, and which I cannot seem to get right, is to first be able to make dovecot to authenticate against the current DB being used by tpop3d so that I can use imapsync to transfer the user mails. And I do believe that is what I am unable to get right!! So here goes what

Hello List, I am back again and I think I am edging closer to getting a solution. I have done some modifications and now dovecot gives me a different error message than before.... Here is what I have for the password_query and user_query password_query = SELECT popbox.cleartext AS password FROM popbox, domain \ WHERE popbox.local_part = 'eddie' AND popbox.domain_name =

Hello Gang, I am new to dovecot and the only reason (so far) I would like to use dovecot, and in production with 12k+ users, is the fact that it's supposed to be faster and less of a resource hog. Now, sometimes I am really good at reading the documentations but it sometimes happens that one overlooks something. I did read the migration notes three times! My users are in /etc/passwd and I

Here is my first major problem with dovecot. I am running rc15 on FreeBSD 6.1. I run dovecot supervised by DJB's daemontools. I run only the pop3 service. A colleague informed me that pop3 service was simply not responding. They could not rcv mail. When I checked the server, tail-ing dovecot.log, here is what was scrolling: [wash at nbi ~]$ tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log dovecot: Nov 23

Hello List, This is dovecot 1.0.0 on FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE. I did not provide this information before:-) I am back again and I think I am edging closer to getting a solution.

Hi, We bought a new Dell PowerEdge 2950III with Perc 6/i and have the disk geometry problem using 6.3 final or 7.0 RC1. Seems that we are not alone at least one guy has similar problem reported earlier: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2008-01/msg00506.html I was reading the mailing list and found that some of the people are happily using this hardware with the latest

Not all FTP sites have the first release candidate, but it is at least available from ftp.freebsd.org.

Hi. This is mostly hypothetical, just because I want to see how knowledgeable people would go about achieving it: I want to sandbox Mozilla Firefox. For the sake of example, I'm running it under my own user account. The idea is that it should be allowed to connect to the X server, it should be allowed to write to ~/.mozilla and /tmp. I expect some configurations would want access to audio

/usr/ports/www/README.html went from some 200 lines to over 500 on a `make readme' in that directory just now. I thought `cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsup_ports' would update the README.html files too. Should I be running `make readme' and/or `make index' (and/or anything else) myself after cvsupdating ports? -- Doug Lee dgl@dlee.org http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus

Hi, I just had some issues with unvalidated certificates after the update of the mail/fetchmail port. The solution was to add the missing certificates manually, but that involved running the c_rehash script, that currently isn't installed. Of course, I could run it directly from src/crypto/openssl/tools/, but that isn't an option for users that don't have the source installed. So,

Hi there, When I do a make buildworld and try to do a make release it will fail telling that it needs the CVSROOT directory.

I am cleaning up my 4-STABLE system. After a fresh installworld, I am looking at files that did not get touched by the install. Is it safe to remove all such files? In particular, I am looking at /usr/libexec/lib-elf.so.1, which has the schg flag set. I am afraid to remove this for fear of making my system unbootable. Could somebody please reassure me that it is ok to noschg and remove this old

This is a belated heads up to let you know that I have merged DTrace to the releng7 branch in the nick of time before the feature freeze for 7.1. Those astute mailing list readers will note that the commit message appears to have gone missing. Well, either the dog ate it or subversion decided that it was for certain eyes only (and not yours, or mine). I have added a note to src/UPDATING
