Imap-login service count/limits
Hello Timo,
I'm trying to configure dovecot-2.1.15 master correctly regarding imap-login
limits. I want to use service_count=0 and I'm starting with something like this
:
#default_process_limit = 100
#default_client_limit = 1000
service imap-login {
[...]
service_count = 0
process_min_avail = 8
vsz_limit = 1024M
}
-> Does it make sense to set a process_limit if

Master user without pass=yes error
Hello Timo,
I just tried the master user feature with a very simple setup (Dovecot v2.2.15) :
!include auth-master.conf.ext -> passwd-file passdb
!include auth-ldap.conf.ext -> ldap passdb (userdb prefetched) without auth_bind=yes
without pass=yes I get this userdb lookup error :
dovecot: auth: passwd-file(masteruser,157.99.64.42,master,<4Pgesh0OygCdY0Aq>): Master user logging in

auth-deny : from file to LDAP
Hello Timo,
I want to deny access to some users. For now I'm doing it using 2 passdb's and listing users in a text file.
!include auth-deny.conf.ext -> passwd-file driver
!include auth-ldap.conf.ext -> ldap driver
I want to do the same using only LDAP. I'm not quite sure how to do it :

Dovecot load balancing
Hello,
I'd like to figure out how to set up a site running dovecot on multiple
computers for load balancing reasons.
I'm currently running dovecot-1.0.14 on a 8GB RAM, 2 quad-core 2.66Ghz Xeon
single server which runs FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE SMP.
. the mailbox format was mbox and I successfully migrated to Maildir only
. mailboxes are on an NFS NetApp server, attribute caching is off

Slightly OT : Maildir format (silly) questions
Hello,
I was asking what was the motivation for not having the envelope From in the
Maildir format, as defined in the qmail spec :
"The message is delivered without an extra UUCP-
style From_ line, without any >From quoting, and without an
extra blank line at the end."
which may sound silly since we lose an important piece of information.
Same question about the motivation in

Shared subscription, acl-list and uidvalidity(s)
Hello,
I'm running dovecot-1.1.8/Maildir/ACL plugin. I sucessfully set up a Maildir
shared between users of the unix group 'doveshared' via a public namespace,
unix permissions and ACL files.
The location of my public namespace is /path/to/public.
I tried 2 sub-setups :

Symlink shared mailboxes and system_user extra field
Hello,
I'm trying to set up, as explained in the wiki, shared mailboxes with symlink.
I'm running dovecot-1.1.8 with LDAP pass/userdb. The Maildir layout goes like this :
/courriel/boites/foobar : Maildir of user foobar (nfs)
/courriel/meta/foobar : control files of user foobar (nfs)
/var/dovecot/indexes : indexes (locally stored)

Domain blacklisting
Hello,
I run dovecot-2/Maildir/LDAP user/passdb and would like to be able to deny
acess to users who connect from certain domains/IP (google.com for instance
since in that case they gave their credentials to a third party).
My understanding is that I cannot use some negative form of "allow_nets". The
only mechanism I can think of is tcp_wrappers. However, dovecot documentation

test65 killed by SIGSEV
Hi,
I had successfully set up dovecot-1.0-test62 + ldap pass/user db, but
now I'm encoutering a SIGSEV problem with a similar set up of a brand
new dovecot-1.0-test65 installation.
The auth process is killed by a SIGSEV as reported in the error log file :

beta8 + mbox + Thunderbird
Hi all,
I'm still using beta8 (on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE).
Recently I put a co-worker who's using Thunderbird (1.5.0.4) on it and
he seemed to have lost some messages (which were delivered on the
spool since seen on procmail logfile).
I switched him on another server to play safe and tried to test it
myself but failed to reproduce the issue. I myself use mutt on a daily
basis with no

attr_names in test67
Hello,
I'm wondering if the following situation is valid (though I think it
isn't since I still cannot authenticate with ldap pass/userdb on
test67 running on FreeBSD-5.3).
Is it normal that the passdb_ldap_conn->attr_names second element (for
instance) "turns to" "homeDirectory" as the following step by step gdb
run sample shows ? :

password_verify in test67 with ldap
Hello Timo,
your patch introducing pass_attr_names and user_attr_names fixed the
problem of the 'shared' attr_names member of [passdb|userdb]_ldap_conn
as I answered in the relative thread.
Now I think there is a problem while comparing user-provided and
ldap-provided passwords causing a false 'password mismatch' situation,
while using PLAIN mechanism with LDAP authentication.

1.0(.14) vs 1.1.2 performance
Hello Timo,
I just switched from dovecot-1.0.14 to dovecot-1.1.2 and noticed a significant
drop in the server load average (which has become lower and above all doesn't
seem to have unexplained peaks). Indexes are still locally stored and nfs
attribute caching is still off).
I searched the list archives for an explanation of what changed in the code
that could explain such an improvement but

Confused about permissions needed for shared mailbox
Hello,
let me re-state, hopefully in clearer terms, what I tried to described in a previous thread :
With dovecot-1.1.8/Maildir/LDAP pass/userdb (prefetch), I'm trying to set up a
Maildir ".box" shared in rw between 2 users in a "Public" namespace. I can't
get it to work unless I chmod 777 everything, which obiously is not what I

Reverting from 2.0. to 1.2
Hello Timo,
I switched this morning from dovecot-1.2.12 to 2.0.8 with a basic setup (high
performance login mode, Maildir, everyhing on NFS, one shared but unused
namespace).
No problem so far except that some Thunderbird users who wouldn't succeed in
moving messages from some one folder to another. They'd get a message about
some illegal character in the mailboxname (already existing

"passdb" userdb

How exactly would translate the "passdb" userdb example which is in

Requiring STARTTLS only on some networks
Hello Timo,
is there a way, either in 1.2.x or in 2.x to activate
disable_plaintext_auth=yes
only for some address or network ?
The idea would be to enable clients from the internal networks to keep making
clear text connections while forbidding it to the rest of the world.
Thanks.

Shared mailboxes basics
Hello Timo,
I'm trying to set up shared mailboxes with dovecot-1.2.11/Maildir. I previsouly
used public namespaces with 1.1+ to somehow implement them but I'm looking at
the real ones now. I've read the Wiki but I'm still confused or not 100% sure
about the following (basic) points :
1. Namespaces prefixes
My understanding is that a namespace prefix is just an escape mechanism
