Speaking about multiple DB ... A my customer has a server (CentOS 6.x, dovecot 2.0.x, postfix, Squirrel+RoundCube with vacation and password plug-in), with about 3.000 users (about 200 different domains), all defined as system users and home as /home/mail/%user% The system works fine. Its only additional interest is authenticating users like user at domain.tld / password (maintaining also

Hi, is there a sieve option that can reject a mail directly without creating a new mail and sending that out? I know about reject "Reject message goes here"; but I am looking for a mechanism that can reject Mail. Postfix can use reject_unverified_recipient to connect to LMTP and ask if a mail would successfully be enqueued and will return the status gotten from the LMTP server if not.

Hi, we have customers with Exchange servers that are polling for new mail every minute with dozens of pop3 accounts. I am looking for a mechanism to rate limit this per user. So what I am looking for is a way to block users from polling, if a user asks for new mail more than every 5 minutes (for example). Is this possible? Can this be achieved within Dovecot or does it need external scripting?

Hello, Is there any way to create a predefined sieve filters during mailbox autocreation? What I want is that my user's mailboxes are automatically created (using mailbox option in namespaces) but I want them to have a predefined sieve script. Using a postlogin script could be an idea, but I'd prefer an automatic one, because postlogin only will filter after first user login --

Hi all, I've a problem with dovecot-2.1.10. At time we use dovecot-1.2 without zlib. We setup a new server with dovecot 2.1.10. After syncing the emails everything looks fine. But if we use zlib plugin all new emails have no content. There are a lot of "Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value" log entrys. So we have compiled dovecot-2.0.18 and we use exactly the same

Hi all Is it possible to configure Dovecot's sieve plugin to act on message arrival to folders, other than INBOX? I wish to move messages fetched by pop3 fetcher to special folder, or sort outgoing mail to folders, specific to their recipients. Thanhs in advance, WBR, valery

Hi, I would like to add a feature to my email-client (Thunderbird) which stops emails from showing up until a specific time (e.g. having buttons for: show again this evening, tomorrow, next week, next month ...). As far as I've learned this is not possible with IMAP: - storing the 'do-not-show-until-time' within a custom header-field requires down- and uploading of the whole email and

We consider deploying a two server active-active setup with dsync replication for ~2500 users. I was wondering how people handle sieve script synchronization in such setups. We came up with a few options for syncing: 1) rsync/unison ~/sieve every x seconds 2) move sieve dirs to separatate partition and sync with gluster or drbd 3) patch roundcube managesieve sieve plugin to upload

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 &

Greetings, A probably simple question and answer: can a sieve script be executed on outgoing messages? I already use deliver on postfix, perhaps the sieve script could be executed when saving to the Sent folder? Regards, -- Marcio Merlone

# dovecot --version 1.2.15 We're trying to migrate a server from Cyrus to Dovecot, and we're mostly there. On Cyrus, the folder layout in the MUA is: INBOX subfolder subfolder ...

Hello! I need to configure Quota on Roundcubemail with Dovecot2. So, I did: 90-quota.conf: # SQL backend: quota = dict:User quota::proxy::sqlquota quota_rule = *:storage=20M:messages=1000 } dict { sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } OK, works! but, My webmail shows me 20M of quota. But on my Postfixadmin I configured 200M. How can I fix this? Att; *Lucas

Hi, My setup: Dovecot 2 latest, installed to replace courrier IMAP, and off course configured with the dot separator and all folder under INBOX.*. The problem: My phone was driving me mad during the test, due that it will only recognize Inbox. How found the solution: I've started sniffing IMAP traffic on my server and ended up with one difference: On courier it ask for namespace, on
