similar to: Sieve/pigeonhole with Exim and Dovecot LDA

Hello, I want to use dovecot on my private debian/unstable-system to have the advantages of an IMAP-Server (Access to mails from different computers, Simply changing the mail client). I decided to use dovecot, because I very often have read (in the web) that it should be more simple to configure than other servers. Now I have the following question: I want to use getmail to retrieve mails

Hello All, I have built up my email server with exim + dovecot + clamv/spamassasin. I am using exim as LDA(local delivery agent). I was reading about using dovecot as LDA but I couldn't find why should I use it? Now, I am looking expert advice on "Why should I use dovecot LDA" ? Is there any benefit in terms of functionality or performance ? Any advice/suggestion/feedbacks

Hi I configured Exim with dovecot LDA and added quota (dict/mysql). It works but it seems that dovecot is not reporting situation back to exim process - it looks like Exim returns OK(accepted) to smtp sender before the message is actually delivered - if the quota is exceeded then LDA drops the mail and sends DSN. Is it possible to change that behavior to report problem immediately (within

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 2.1.7 on Debian. Exim is the MTA. I was recently made aware of the fact that the way in which Exim invokes dovecot-lda is prone to code injection: dovecot_virtual_delivery: driver = pipe command = HOME=/home/vmail/\$local_part /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f \$sender_address use_shell .. I.e. a command is executed via the shell, and Exim uses

I am using exim via dovecot_deliver to store messages in Maildir in my $HOME. I am using kmail to retrieve stuff. Unfortunately, something in my data crashes dovecot. I was using 1.0.rc14 from opensuse, but downloaded and installed 1.0.8 from the site. Here is the crash: Dec 5 18:05:09 h743107 dovecot: IMAP(kris): file mail-index-transaction.c: line 629 (mail_index_update_flags_range):

So as to make sure that Dovecot Sieve's vacation system works Exim has to be forced to generate a "Reply-To:" header in the message (which it doesn't do by default). The current example for using the Dovecot LDA with Exim doesn't do this. Here is a replacement example for the local_delivery transport:- local_delivery: driver = pipe command =

Hello, my first post in this list. Hope it's the right place.:-) I'm having a problem running getmail together with Dovecot LDA for virtual users. To achive this I let getmail run under the user that owns the virtual email accounts-root. The problem is that getmail is running under the user vmail and therefore the emails received will be put into vmail's mailbox. But the emails

Hi I'm changing from fetchmail to getmail, in order to fetch my mail from several mail servers and deliver it to my local dovecot server. Fetchmail supports LMTP, getmail doesn't. So I'm making getmail call dovecot-lda for delivering the mail. But now, the incoming mail doesn't get filtered through sieve any longer. However, this command works: sieve-filter -v -u v

Hey All, Id just like to start by thanking Timo Sirainen and any others that helped produce such a great IMAP server, it was a breeze to set up with no previous experience in mail servers. What I am trying to do is setup a spare computer to run Dovecot and that It stores all my email from my accounts which are all accessed through POP. This way instead of being tied to one mail client (and

I am sure this is a really stupid question but I could do with some advice. I am setting an old PC as an email/file server using Gentoo Linux. So far I have configured getting emails from a couple of a pop3 accounts I have with ISPs/Mail Service providers using getmail and dovecot. I can access those emails from a variety of clients using IMAP without problem. The next stage I want to

Hi, I'm trying to set up exim (4.83) as a submission server, and need to set up the dovecot authentication in exim. I'm having an issue with that (documented at <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756258>) The problem is that exim doesn't follow the handshake as described here: <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Design/AuthProtocol>. The wiki page says that the

hi, i'm running dovecot branch_10 cvs on OSX 10.4.7 w/ exim 4.63. i'd like to use Dovecot's SASL as an auth backend to exim, instead of Cyrus-SASL. @ dovecot's sasl page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Sasl i know there's a patch against exim 4.43: http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/AuthenticatedSmtpUsingDovecot that, purportedly, enables EXIM to use dovecot's SASL as an

Had a surprising event on C 6.5. Exim was the only MTA installed. It was partially configured (with ACL, Router, Transport) and definitely not running. I was remotely testing a web page. A web page error condition invoked the embedded PHP mail() command. To my astonishment something in Centos woke-up Exim. Exim sent the email and then became inactive again. The Exim logs does not show any

Hello, I am looking for some advice. I am trying to force dovecot to run to the same log as exim does. In dovecot.conf I put the exim log path /var/log/exim/mainlog. I restarted dovecot and the process worked fine. However at midnight exim log file is rotated and since then dovecot stops logging to this log. In syslog.conf I put: mail.*

Hallo, today I had a surprising situation. Exim stopped. It's a German centos 5.3 64 Bit installation so the messages are partial in German. Then I tried a restart: [root at centos ~]# service exim restart exim beenden: [FEHLGESCHLAGEN] exim starten: /bin/bash: line 1: 6596 Die maximale Dateigr??e ist ?berschritten

Hi all, I had a big problem I did not figured out. It is solved, but I have questions about the matter. It's about Exim 4.72/CentOS 6.

Hi, I have some problem in Dovecot authorization in Exim for outgoing SMTP. Version of Exim is 4.69 and the Exim was compiled with "AUTH_DOVECOT=yes" and "AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes". Version of Dovecot is 1.2.12. I use SSL for IMAP. Is Exim neccesary to use SSL(TLS) for authorization of outgoing SMTP? Configuration files is as follows; - Exim
