similar to: Authentication Failure (newbie)

I googled around looking for this, apparantly my google-fu is failing this morning. I just switched over to using a Postfix/Dovecot virtual set-up with Dovecot as the delivery agent. One of my users mistyped his email address when he paid for something through Paypal and the reciept got forwarded to everyone. It didn't bounce or just go to Postmaster, it was delivered to every valid user on

Found http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/dovecot at dovecot.org/msg03185.html, but I don't think this is my problem because using ldapsearch I can search using dovecot. # /usr/local/openldap/bin/ldapsearch -x -h localhost -b DC=XXXXX,DC=ce,DC=gov,DC=br -D cn=dovecot,dc=XXXXX,dc=ce,dc=gov,dc=br -w XXXXX -LLL -z 0 -E pr=100/noprompt dn: mail=rodrigo at XXXXX.ce.gov.br,jvd=XXXXX.ce.gov.br

I'm new to Dovecot and I'm having trouble getting basic, flat file userdb lookups to work. This must have been asked before, but if so, I can't find it. I'm following the basic setup here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall with a few minor differences. Output of doveconf -n is below, as well as relevant entries from postfix main.cf and master.cf. When I

Hi, everyone, 1. As advised in?Debugging Authentication, I turned on auth_debug and auth_debug_passwords, and now in the mail log I get an additional message: dovecot: auth: passwd(xxx,xxx,<40AjQMFHSLVLGJAC>): invalid password field '*' Of course neither the password I tried nor the actual password was '*'. That's what's in /etc/passwd, but dovecot isn't just

Hello. This is the first time I'm using Dovecot... I'm using Debian Etch (updated), and all bundled (Postfix + OpenLDAP + Dovecot + SASL), and Jamm. This is the guide I'm using: http://wanderingbarque.com/howtos/mailserver/mailserver.html # dovecot --version 1.0.rc15 # tail -4 /etc/passwd cyrus:x:107:8:Cyrus Mailsystem User,,,:/var/spool/cyrus:/bin/sh

I have a new Dovecot v2.2.9 installation and am having trouble getting virtual users recognized. Also, the example configuration listed on the Wiki generates config errors. Note that I haven't tried running dovecot yet, I wanted to verify that the config looked good first. First, my configuration. I'm trying to use /etc/dovecot/users as my combined userdb and passdb file, with all

Hello everybody, I am running dovecot 2.1.7 on Debian Wheezy on two servers with replication set up, MTA is postfix. The idea is to have a redundant mail system so that when one server fails, users can continue using the other server (failover of POP/IMAP through DNS redirection). Servers are called srv06 and srv07: Below is the dovecot config, both servers have identical config, only the

Hi, I just upgraded from version 1 to version on Debian Squeeze using their backports. Like I expected my dovecot1 config had to be converted using doveconf and this I did. However, I see problems with files inside directory: drwxr-xr-x 4 dovenull root 4096 Feb 25 20:35 /var/run/dovecot All of them were created owned by root:root rw. I tried to changed, for example : chown postfix:dovecot

Dear everyone, I am trying to get my Email set-up to work, and wonder if someone would shed some light onto this? Best regards, J. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Set-up is : postfix -> dovecot LDA -> mysql <- postfixadmin What works: postfix delivers to dovecot. postfixadmin is configured, and have created one domain test.info.

Dear all, I have a mail server based on a CentOS 5.3 machine with postfix. Most of our users are on LDAP (on localhost) but we also have some local users and we are using PAM for authentication. Sometimes emails are not delivered to an user (happens either with users on LDAP or local users on shadow) with error "unknown user" (sometimes the error comes from smtpd and

Hi, I have a dovecot installation with a strange problem: all the mails stays in storage after deleted from users mailbox. If user logon after the mails are deleted, they don't receive them any more, but the m.## files aren?t deleted. This happens with pop3 (default for this installation) and/or imap. The dovecot is installed along postfix with mysql and multi-domains support Here's the

Currently running 1.0.2 with 1.1b1 listening on a different port. On first pop3 login on 1.1b1 I received an immediate disconnect (I was testing with telnet) with the log entries below. Subsequent logins work fine. Other accounts that I tried did not have the same problem. So this is probably isolated to some bad indexes or something, but I thought I should let Timo know. Regards, David Here

Hello again. When I send e-mail locally from userX at mydomain to userY at mydomain the quota in userY at mydomain isn't updated with the new message, but the message arrives fine. It's not a userX problem, because it's equal if it's userY sending userX. When I save an message, the quota is updated. Or when the userX sends the e-mail, his quota is updated too. The problem is that

Hi, I know that a lot of work has been done regarding doveadm server, but I'm still experiencing easily reproducible segfault crashes of doveadm-server with 2.1.16 when running the following command in a 4 node director/mailbox cluster: /usr/bin/doveadm -c /etc/dovecot-director/dovecot-director.conf -D purge -A The dovecot-error.log shows the following errors (addresses anonymized): Apr

This happened after upgrading to 2.2.16. Running on Debian wheezy amd64. We never had such a crash on this server before. However, this too was a single incident. All accounts use Maildir.

Hello! This is my first dovecot install, which I put together by mixing and matching pieces of various online howtos (fortunately, Dovecot doesn't seem to be overly complex - a big plus). I've got it mostly working, but the trash plugin doesn't seem to be working right. Below are configs and some logs. Any thoughts? Also, any suggestions regarding my configuration? I can post
