similar to: IMAP security across the net.

How about kpop? Anybody hear of this? it is some sort of kerberos security scheme, I think. I see it in the eudora esoteric settings, but I am not sure what has to be running on a LINUX server to do this. My knowledge of kerberos is quite limited.

How does IMAP lock the /var/spool/mail/user file? Here's my problem: I'm writing a script to expire old or oversize mail through a series of archive folders. I don't want to take the whole server down to do this, nor does it seem like I would have to lock the user out entirely if I can manage to emulate the locks correctly. I am able to lock /var/spool/mail/user (and ~user/mail/*)

Hi. I had working Exim 4.71 and Dovecot 1.2.9 SASL configuration on Ubuntu Lucid, but needed some features from dovecot2, so I installed 2.0.13 from https://launchpad.net/~carsten-uppenbrink-net/+archive/dovecot2 . Now I get Subj error while trying to authenticate via dovecot auth-client socket. However IMAP auth works fine with 2.0.13 and smtp auth worked fine until upgrade, so I think

Hello, I'm running an Debian etch box with unstable and ever since the last upgrade to dovecot, I've seen odd things. At times, I would see emails would go missing from the Inbox or other folders, and I couldn't move emails that were moved from the Inbox to another folder back into the Inbox. These have seen gone away since I removed all dovecot.* files and .index* files from my

Hello. I am migrating my servers to Ubuntu and have been having an issue with Dovecot authenticator service. Exim is set up to use dovecot-auth, anticipating the question whether exim binary was compiled with support of Dovecot authenticator, it was: --- # exim -bV Exim version 4.86_2 #1 built 05-Apr-2016 12:21:41 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge, 1995 - 2015 (c) The Exim Maintainers and

Timo, It looks like Dovecot 2.0 appends an APOP challenge to the POP3 greeting even if APOP is not an enabled auth mechanism. Is there any way to disable this? We don't support APOP, and the challenge includes the private hostname of the server, which we'd rather not have in the banner. It looks like get_apop_challenge in 1.2 returns NULL if APOP isn't supported, which causes

We had an issue today with IMAP clients (Thunderbird, Outlook) having to redownload headers for folders. This issue was eerily close to a MySQL database structure change that shouldn't have affected any related queries, however we did notice an event of user CPU % not being reported via SNMP around the same time for the server. There are no entries in our dovecot error log around the

IMAP keywords (Thunderbird Tags) are not preserved during Maildir to mdbox conversion. For mailbox conversion I am using the command: # doveadm -o mail_location=maildir:~/Maildir sync -u user at example.com mdbox:~/mdbox After conversion all Thunderbird Tags are lost. Is it a bug or expected behavior? -- Alexander -------------- next part -------------- # doveconf -n # 2.2.15:

Hi friends, Following the Workaround tutorial for Jessie (https://workaround.org/ispmail/jessie ) I've set up six month ago my first Postfix email server and all works very fine, except for the ability from the user to encrypt login password. I can use the encrypted login password with smtp (Postfix), but not with pop3 and imap (Dovecot). The certificates are from Letsencrypt. I've

Hi, all! I configured Dovecot to use many protocols. To do this, I wrote: mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 apop ntlm Very strange, if I ask the capability, I get: CAPA TOP UIDL RESP-CODES PIPELINING STLS USER SASL PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 NTLM . I can't understand why APOP is not written (but I can use it!) and why I can see SASL, that I didn't configure... How can I change

I''m setting up a new Rails project that is a nice front end for a company''s personnel database with a legacy schema.

Loading all this takes a while, when the application really only needs the

Hi, We're running dovecot 1.2.15 and use SQL authentication. We'd like to be able to support APOP, but can't see how this would fit in with SQL auth. Currently we have: password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u' or (email LIKE '%n@%%' AND unhashed='%w') It seems that in order to auth APOP logins, we'd need to
