Hi I'm using Dovecot version 1:1.2.15-7 installed on Debian Squeeze via apt-get.. I have this error in the logs. /var/log/mail.log.1:2490:Jan 19 12:02:55 mail dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections): user=<user at example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, secured I never changed this from the default 10. When I googled

Hi I'm about to upgrade to 2.1.7 in my test environment, but "doveconf -n -c dovecot.1.conf > dovecot.2.conf" is producing a blank file, so I am unsure how to proceed. I know a lot has changed between them, so I don't really want to have to start from scratch unless I have to. I have tried both as my user and with sudo. Simon

Hi Could someone explain to me the difference between LOGIN and PLAIN? I've been googling for a while, but haven't found anything. Thanks. Simon

HI I don't know if this is a dovecot issue or a client one. But as Dovecot is the most recent change, I'll start here. I have a server that's been running Courier for about 6 years and in all that time I think I've only ever had 1 issues where an entire mail box was repopped by a webmail client. However, since moving to a new server and dovecot 4 weeks ago, I've now had the

Hi; This is my 6th day installing my first Postfix/Dovecot installation. The Postfix mailing list indicates I've got the MTA under control so now I'm seeking your help with the MDA. I get these errors with legitimate email addresses: Oct 24 11:47:38 myserver dovecot: auth-worker: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Access denied for user

Hi, I used to, with a simple script, loop over the filenames in a Maildir, grab the From from the contents of the file and grab the flags (especially "READ" and "REPLIED") from the filename, but after moving to sdbox these flags are hidden in the index file. Is there anyway to get these out of there programmatically without having to resort to using an imap-client or is that

Hi I'm very new to Dovecot (been using Courier for 5 years), but I've been persuaded of the merits of Dovecot and since the server needs upgrading that seems like the perfect time/excuse. On a test server, I set up postfix and installed Dovecot (running 32-bit Debian Squeeze, installed from apt-get). I mirrored the mail store (Maildirs, for historical reasons located under

I did a mistake (shame on me). While migrating accounts on a new server, I didn't pay attention to a detail: sieve_max_actions, that I set to a low value for my testings, but then forgot to raise before the migration. As a result, several redirect-only accounts have now their inbox filled with messages that should have been redirected to "real people", then discarded. Would there

Finally got Dovecot to work on ports 100 and 143. I would like to a) Learn about ACL esp on port 110 as there are still yodellaks that try to brake in on port 110. b) Setting up separate SSL cert for imaps and pop3s. -- For effective Internet Etiquette and communications read http://catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html, http://idallen.com/topposting.html &

Hi, The documentation at https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields states that "It's possible to override settings from dovecot.conf", as well as the following: > If you want to override settings inside sections, you can separate the > section name and key with '/'. For example: > > namespace default { > inbox = yes > separator = .

Hi After successfully setting up dovecot, I see this error in the logs.

Hi, A couple of questions rather than a problem for once! We've got our Dovecot server running smoothly now apart from our MD. He's having problems with mail_max_userip_connections. He has 3 (Phone/Laptop/Tablet) items that all connect to the server at about the same time. Which means he's frequently running over the max_userip_connections. My questions are: Is there

Hi, I set mail_max_userip_connections in our IMAP configuration to mail_max_userip_connections = 10 to allow users 10 parallel connections. It seems that this also limits the amount of parallel connections from one IP but different users?! Our users mostly accessing the IMAP server by a webmailer or proxies. Thus, all users (>10000) come from only 5 different IP. However, I got a lot of

Hi, mail_max_userip_connections is only enforced at the backend level. The setting has no effect on proxy. If you want to force the limit then you can only do it in the backend.

Hi all, Maybe someone here can help me with this problem, not sure if this is a configuration issue or an actual bug. my daily cron job says: #!/bin/sh doveadm expunge -A mailbox Junk savedbefore 14d doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d doveadm expunge -A mailbox "Trash.*" savedbefore 30d But it hasn't been deleting any messages in a long time, I'm not sure when

Hi, Trying to keep abusive/buggy IMAP clients at bay on a number of Dovecot proxy servers, I've reconfigured them to use "mail_max_userip_connections = 50" in the "protocol imap" section, followed by restarting Dovecot. Yet, I'm still seeing 160+ established connections from a single IP address for the same email account. Am I missing anything? # 2.2.27
