similar to: Dovecot auth error

We'd like to be able to activate zlib_save per-user or per-mailbox, but it seems to be global, all or nothing. Search of this list revealed a comment from Timo in 2012: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-March/064909.html where he was thinking that compression per-namespace would be a worthy feature. Was that done? I'm in the process of replacing a 2.0 system with 2.2 EE. The

Hi, We're using dovecot to provide pop3 for a number of mailboxes. The setup is pretty simple: Each user / domain has a mailstore in /data/mailstore/<domain>/<user>/Maildir (backed by NFS). Passwords are in simple passwd-file format in the top level domain directory eg: # cat /data/mailstore/foo.com/.passwd user:{plain}password The passdb setup looks like this. passdb {

Once again I have updated Timo's auth patch for Postfix 2.2.1 to work with a 2.3 snapshot. It applied cleanly and compiled and is running for me, but is not really tested. This is Timo's code, not mine. All I did was manually edit in the rejects from the old patch. Find it here if you're interested: http://www.nodns4.us/postfix-2.3-20051121-dovecot-auth.patch.gz md5sum:

Hello, I am running v2.0.13. In my dovecot.conf I have: userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-usrdb-ldap.conf driver = ldap } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-passdb-ldap.conf driver = ldap } Is it legitimate to include multiple ldap userdb's, like: userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-usrdb-ldap1.conf driver = ldap } passdb { args =

Wietse won't sit still ... removal of the lmtp(8) client broke the previous issue of the revised Dovecot AUTH patch. So I just redid it for the 20051208 snapshot: http://www.nodns4.us/postfix-2.3-20051208-dovecot-auth.patch.gz $ md5sum *gz ; ls -l $_ 32946afa424b3fbc04c8d9822e711e1f postfix-2.3-20051208-dovecot.patch.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 rob0 console 7287 2005-12-09 17:09

Hi, It?s possible to use sasl dovecot smtp authentication with sendmail ? Hadi.Salem

Hi, I have found a message on this mailing list dated August/2012 in which is said that dovecot could not (at least at that time) do SMTP Authentication using Proxy Features. http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-August/067998.html is this still true, given i'm using latest stable dovecot, v2.2.5 ? extra informations ... smtp authentication is done by postfix using:

Hi, I have a userdb file set up in passwd-file format containing the following entries: >doveadm user test1*test2 at test.com test1-test2 at test.com test1?test2 at test.com test1 at test2@test.com test1%test2 at test.com I can access the 1st entry (no special characters) no problem: >doveadm user test1-test2 at test.com -f home /var/vmail The 2nd entry (using UTF-8 encoding)

Well my last email went unaswered - I assume because I didn't provide enough detailed information. Not a surprise if that is the case. Anyway, I also noted that there is no dovecot/pop3 process like there is for IMAP. Not certain that is wrong, but I am guessing it is. I am enclosing the output from a doveconf -an query - hopefully you can see a screenshot, otherwise I have to figure out

Hi, We are (still) mainly using CentOS 5 (5.8 x86_64). As CentOS / RHEL 5 standard OpenLDAP packages are rather old (2.3.x), we've been using LTB OpenLDAP packages (http://ltb-project.org/wiki/download#openldap), which get installed in non-standard file system locations. So, I would like to re-build Dovecot packages based on these OpenLDAP libraries, esp. because I see that dovecot RPM

Hello, Sorry if I am off topic a little. I am looking for an email host provider that supports dovecot, sieve and manage sieve. Ideally with the roundcube webmail and managesieve plugin Better if it is in Europe or switzerland. I don't mind paying a little. Thanks, Andr?.

Hey all, I'm in the process of writing some scripts which I want to be able to take actions on my local mailbox. (For example, to move a subset of messages to the trash over time, if unread for a week. To act on messages in my learn-spam folder and then delete them). What occured to me as being a Neat Idea is if Dovecot could honor ident (rfc1413) lookups, from trusted hosts (i.e.

I need the new sleep feature (smtpd_*_restrictions) of Postfix 2.3 snapshots, but I'm using the Dovecot auth patch. The 2.2.1 patch had problems in the snapshots I tried.

hi- i have a configuration in which i'm using different passdb/userdb settings for each of imap, lmtp and smtp [without getting too far off on a tangent, this is so ldap group membership can be used to independently control authorization for receiving [lmtp], retrieving [imap], and sending [smtp/postfix] of email. each passdb/userdb uses a different search filter.] when i use this as my

Hi Guys, I am trying to use 2 instances of Dovecot on the same server so I can have a Director managing my connections, everything appears to be working, but I can not use doveadm to control my 2nd instance, but doveconf seems to work fine. [user at server logs]$ doveconf -i Director | grep logs debug_log_path = /home/user/apps/logs/director/director_debug.log info_log_path =

Hi, Since upgrading our mail servers to Postfix/Dovecot, we've seen a rather large increase in botnet brute force password attacks. I guess our old servers were too slow to suit their needs. Now, when they hit upon a valid user, it's easy to see what passwords they are trying (we've enabled auth_debug_passwords and set auth_verbose_passwords = plain). We can easily have log

Hi, I would like to use Dovecot not only for virtual mboxes, but also for local users. In other words, I would like to use different "mail_location"s depending on "passdb" "passwd-file" versus "passwd". I need that as the smtp daemon I am using (david parsons' postoffice smtp server) serves both but is only able to process messages through

5 hours of configuration attempts, error after confusing error, documentation with examples that only show extracts of working configurations. I really feel like throwing in the towel with dovecot. It should not be this hard and frankly almost impossible to understand and configure for such an incedibly simple configuration. /home/vmail/domain.name/username/cur

I have a friend who is preparing to set up a small Postfix/Dovecot mail system. There are only approximately 25 users. He wants to use Berkeley DB in a similar fashion to the way Postfix does. I told him I do not believe Dovecot supports that. I could not find any documentation relating to it. 1) Does Dovecot support Berkeley DB? 2) Are their any plans to incorporate that feature into Dovecot?

I've been trying to get smtp auth set up for days. All my sendmail and sasl2 stuff seems to be proper, but the user can't use the system on port 587, which is where I require authorization. Now I see where messages are in my maillog of the type: auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth) : authentication failure ........ Why is dovecot involved in my smtp processes and how do I fix this. I've
