similar to: LDA without lookup as non-root?

We're considering a move from Courier to Dovecot.? So far, looks like it's not too bad, but the most challenging obstacle is what to do about our local delivery.? Factors: 1. we use a lot of maildrop "features" that are impossible in sieve without piping to an external program (would rather not re-write our working maildrop scripts in another language) 2. would love to try

Hi, recently I started using maildrop as a MDA doing lightweight filtering in a Postfix/Dovecot mail server combo. Only thing missing was the fact that maildrop couldn't perform user lookups against a user database that was already being served by Dovecot (for smtp auth in Postfix and for imap access obviously) in order to easily determinate proper mailbox location and home directory of

I need some advice about replacing maildrop with the Dovecot LDA. I need to replicate a setup that uses postfix+maildrop+spamassassin. We'll be using Dovecot 1rc13. In the current setup, maildrop reads a file called .mailfilter in each user's folder, then call spamassassin according to the user's preferences. The file is simple, and looks like this -- if ( $SIZE > 20971520 ) {

Hi! I tried to compile deliver from CVS (as described in the wiki), but unfortunately make stopped with the following error: In file included from sieve_interface.h:37, from script.h:31, from addr.y:34: sieve_err.h:7:24: et/com_err.h: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [addr.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory

Good Day All! I am attempting to configure deliver as our LDA. I am also configuring the server to use Postfix instead of Sendmail. I have followed the all the documentation and examples I could find. Below are my Dovecot and Postfix configs. Can someone please smack me upside the head and tell me why I am getting "user unknown" errors? If i don't use deliver as the LDA, all

Hi all, I am trying to setup a mail server using postfix (virtual_mailboxes), spamassassin and dovecot, along with SQL where appropriate. From my research so far I realized that, for several reasons, it is required for me to use dovecot LDA instead of maildrop, local, procmail or other alternatives. My configuration was working flawlessly, until spamassassin per-user configuration came to

Hi there, I'm using Dovecot 2.0.9-1 under Arch Linux. Currently, I have Maildir configured, and I move all my emails into dovecot by using this sequence: 1) cron starts fetchmail periodically under user manfred to collect my mails from various email accounts. 2) In ~/.fetchmailrc I have configured /usr/bin/maildrop as MDA. 3) In ~/.mailfilter (used by maildrop) I have extensive filtering in

Hi all Sorry for repost, but i don't believe that there is noone who know where the problem can be. At least developers should know :-) I have sent this post once, but without answer. I have setup dovecot lda instead of maildrop on my courier server. Delivery is working, sieve plugin too, but i can't figure out why lda can't send emails via sendmail (vacation). I always get

I'm converting over a virtual user installation that used Postfix and maildrop with a MySQL back-end for mailbox lookups to use Dovecot LDA. The maildrop setup used a database table like: +-------------------------+--------+-------------+--------------------+ | address | owner | domain | mailbox |

Hi! I am using courier IMAP with maildrop as LDA. I started reading about dovecot and i like started to feel that i can switch to it. I have couple questions mostly about dovecot's LDA. My main problem with maildrop is that i have to create manualy user directories grr. All my domains are set up as virtual with postfix. So when i add new accout thru my web panel and i have to create user dir

Hello, I want to make final delivery for some of my mailboxes using dovecot-lda, since I'm interested in using sieve. My usual MDA which is called from postfix is and will be maildrop. First try was to call dovecot-lda from command line: /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d spam at xgm.de < testmail which gave return code 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL) and logged: dovecot: auth-worker(3533):

Hi, I'm working on a system that have about 350K e-mail users and 100k users that uses maildrop scripts to make filters on their delivery. So, changing scripts by hand can't be a choice. I "googled" so much and I wasn't able to find any script that converts maildrop scripts to sieve. Does anyone knows where can I find it? By the way, does anyone uses dovecot-1.1-beta on a

Hi all. I'm making a case to use Dovecot over Courier and would like some feedback. I've searched the web extensively and have been unable to find any hard information regarding Dovecot's IMAP performance. I've got some pressure to use Courier but my gut tells me that Dovecot should be much faster. In particular, I will have typical users with mailboxes exceeding 10,000

hi all, i'm moving from a maildrop+courier setup to lda(sieve)+dovecot setup. with maildrop i had a global filter for all the users, so i could filter and archive into the spam folder spam tagged emails for users without custom filters, including them if they exist: LOGNAME=tolower($LOGNAME) `test -e $LOGNAME` if ( $RETURNCODE != 0 ) { `maildirmake $LOGNAME` `maildirmake

Hi Timo & Co, Is there any time frame for updating the deliver LDA's sieve plugin code to that from Cyrus IMAPd v2.3.x? I ask as I'm looking for the functionality of the sieve-body extension, as described here: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sieve-body-06.txt This requirement has come up as we're upgrading from a Courier-IMAP/maildrop configuration that has

Hi I have been able to setup postfix and dovecot using postgres as the backend store with virtual user maps on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server. I have been following instructions from here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotPostgresql I haven't setup postfix to use saslauthd and PAM, instead I am using dovecot for SASL authentication. Rest of the table structures and query files are the same as

Hello, I currently use procmail without the deliver LDA but would like to switch to using deliver. I also would like to get away from procmail for various reasons. Otherwise I could use the procmail-patch from http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2006-July/014656.html AFAICS. I don't want to use sieve because it's too limited and can't see a similar patch like the one for

Can somebody provide maildrop syntax for using deliver-lda as final delivery program during sorting mail in user mailfilter? i mean replacement for "to" statement if ( /^(To|Cc):.*dovecot at dovecot.org/:h ) { to $MAIL/.dovecot/ }
