Hi All, I have a system running (home based) Centos latest fully patched, etc that is acting as quasi mail server dhcp and name server. My question deals with mail. This is how it is currently set up. Because I travel for work weeks on end, I have fetchmail on my mail server, set up to poll my isp and download all my mail from work and personal isp. In this way my mail queues at work and

I have a 6.5 machine that had everything set up and working correctly (fetchmail, sendmail w/ starttls, procmail, spamassassin) but the MB cratered. I bought a new machine, and installed Centos 6.6 and all is not well. I used the config from the previous incarnation (via backups) for fetchmail (works fine), sendmail (works fine for sending via relay and tls), but procmail now refuses to pick up

Hey all, A few minutes ago, I installed Dovecot, hoping things would get clear by just looking at the relevant config files, but since they don't, I hope someone here could give me a clue... What I want to achieve is really only basic functionality. It's just for personal use, so it shouldn't get too complicated. Up til now, I have been using fetchmail to get my mail off of several

I've built a new mail system with Centos 6.5, and I'm running fetchmail - sendmail - procmail to maildir. I have all of this working at the moment.(I know, postfix was the default, but for lots of other reasons, I switched, and that isn't an issue, I don't think). I am using dovecot as an imap server. Procmail won't update indexes during email delivery, so I'm having some

My home server is running CentOS-7.1 I'm running postfix and dovecot on it. I collect email from a few sources with fetchmail and move it to ~/Maildir/cur/ with procmail. Or at least, I did do this. For some reason procmail has stopped doing its job, and the email that I collect is finishing in /var/spool/mail/tim/ I can't work out what has caused this, or what the cure is. I haven't

Hello List, i switched mailformat from mbox to maildir. Now i have a little problem with procmail/formail and headermanipulation of mails. Here an example: 0 * ^From.*gmx.de | (formail -t -I"procmail: gmx.de") >> /var/spool/mail/xxxxxx So, i can add some different headerlines for later evaluation and the result is attached to inbox. Now i have the problem that i don't know

Hi there, I use dovecot-1.1-rc4, got imap, imaps, pop3 & pop3s working fine with the mbox format. I use sendmail-8.14.2 as an MTA, sendmail uses procmail as an LDA. I migrated to maildir format now, and pipe all my mail to deliver right now to be able to make use of the indexing etc... Problem is I run into some errors : #My .procmailrc PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin

Hello, a couple of months ago, also thanks to help from this list, I set up postfix and dovecot for virtual domains on a Centos 4 remote server. I have postfix set up to deliver all email for marco at domain1.net to /var/mail/vhosts/marco_domain1.net/ Everything is fine, as far as postfix is concerned: all email to marco at domain1.net goes in that mailbox, dovecot sees it, etc... Now I need

Hi i want to fetchmail from a pop server and check every email to any rbl spamhaus,spamcop,etc and if match at any rbl the email will be deleted. It's possible to do this? Thanks Nightduke

Hi all, I'm using Debian (testing) for my office mail. I'm using sendmail and Dovecot to deliver email to clients over IMAP using mbox format. I want to move over and start using Maildir. I know that I can use different MTA's to do the job, but I really like sendmail, and I run additional sendmail servers across the my internal and external networks. I'm probably

Hi all, I recently migrated my system (postfix/Dovecot)from mbox to Maildir. Almost everything is working (phone and thunderbird show all my mail and folders with mail) However I am stuck on my .procmailrc rules # cat /etc/procmailrc SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail SENDMAILFLAGS=-oi LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log ORGMAIL=${HOME}/Maildir/ DEFAULT=${ORGMAIL}

I could use some help here - As I use Dovecot I started here when trying to figure out why I could not add new mail folders under my Mac's Mail program, but could under Thunderbird. It was quickly pointed out that my system was set up to use MBOX and not MAILDIR, and some helpful links and notes were sent back and forth giving me a good clue as to how to perform the conversion

I have been trying to set up procmail but I am running into some issues with using deliver. I am running Debian Etch with Dovecot 1.1.8 compiled from the Debian Experimental source package. ##### Start .procmailrc ##### # System-wide settings for procmail SHELL="/bin/bash" SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t" LOGFILE="/var/log/procmail.log"

Hello everybody, I am in the process to install dovecot as an IMAP server. Currently, this system runs postfix and uses procmail for local (mbox style) delivery. Procmail ist started by postfix like this: /etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail ~/.forward: "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 # jw" Before going

I want to set up dovecot on a CentOS server. I did this before, some time ago, but it seems to have become much more complicated, involving postfix, amavisd-new and clamav (for spamassassin). What puzzles me is the role, if any, of procmail and .procmailrc in this new system. Is procmail no longer used/needed? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090,

What I want to do is pop my email off of a Pop3 server and give it to dovecot for imap serving. Does anyone know of a utility that will allow me to do this? I looked at fetchmail but it seems to want to talk to an SMTP server. Thanks, Brad -- Brad Figg - brad at tpi.com 503.601.0235 ext. 105 TriplePoint, Inc. - http://www.tpi.com

I have a problem getting spamd and sendmail (both stock CentOS4 rpms) to work together on a couple of smtp relay machines. This is clearly a configuration issue and no doubt revolves around my lack of comprehension of how this is to work. Basically, the setup consists of two frontend public smtp transports that redirect all email through a firewall to an internal imap server for final

Someone got ahold of my information (actually, I know who they are - t2net.net - just not how to get back at them) and now I'm getting 4 phone calls a week upwards of 20 spams a day. I'm trying to put an end to the spam at least and the built-in stuff for Evolution isn't working as well as it should I did some Googling on procmail and fetchmail and spamassassin config files and much

Hi list, I'm trying to get some ideas on this subject. Normally astersik sends emails with voicemail attached trough local MTA. As far as i know there is no way for asterisk to authenticate to an external mailserver to relay these emails. Well, these days every provider has some sort of spam blocking, to add to that usually users of asterisk are behid a dynamic IP with no PTR and list grows

I am using Mac OS X Server. OS X Server uses postfix with dovecot set as mail_transport. I want to add procmail to the mix. I cannot use the (typical) mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" because mailbox_transport = dovecot overrides any mailbox_command parameter and it is NOT Possible to change, remove, or otherwise vary the mailbox_transport on OS X server. I'm
