FW: Panic: Message unexpectedly expunged from index
Nevermind. I figured it out. I left off the INDEX command. Sorry to spam
the mail list :(
Here is my mail_location for future reference / searches:
mail_location =

Best way to upgrade from 1.0a4 to 1.0a5
Hello all,
I have 1.0 Alpha 4. Is it better to shut down sendmail, uninstall dovecot
1.0a4 then install 1.0a5, or just install 1.0a5 over the top of 1.0a4?
Thanks,

how to create Drafts, Junk, Sent, Trash folders after user already created
Hello Dovecot,
Do to a misconfiguration, I have a bunch of users who do not have the
standard folders.
I can create a routine to cycle through the users and look for the folders
and run a command if there is one.
Is there a way to create the proper namespace for a user after the user has
already been created?
Thanks in advance.

Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file
Hello all,
I have a new installation of Fedora 4 and Dovecot 1.4.Alpha4
A small percentage of my users are getting unable to pop mail from a client
(ie: Outlook), they get continually prompted for username/password. The
error they get is: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file.
When I look in the file, I don't see anything unusual. There's not much
info on the Internet about this

Graceful shutdown
Hello all,
I am running Dovecot v1alpha4 on Fedora 4 from the command line (as opposed
to deamon). Is there a recommended way to shut it down gracefully? Or do I
just use killall -9 dovecot? I'm not using the included version, so I can't
do SERVICE DOVECOT STOP.
Thanks,

Permissions problem on new installation
I am setting up a new mail server using imap only on Scientific Linux

I keep getting these errors regardless of permissions ... even up to 777.

Unable to get virtual users set up with database auth
I can't seem to get imap virtual users to work with database
authentication on new Scientific Linux 6.5 server with Sendmail 8.14.4 &
Dovecot 2.0.9
Apparently I have to also create system users because
sendmail/procmail/dovecot want to check directory ownership.
So I created a database, made entry for the user, created the user
chayes on the system.
But %u always contains just chayes

how to automatically delete folders from Trash after x days
This works great for keeping the Trash from overflowing ...
doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash before 30d
... but it doesn't delete folders that the user put in the trash.
What is the recommended method for erasing folders from the trash?

mail location change generates various errors
I have a sendmail/dovecot imap/pop3 system that has been running with
the following mail_location:
mail_location =
mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u
In order to reduce errors and simplify operation I removed imap and am
now only responding to pop3. I'd like to also simplify the
mail_location to get rid of index errors since I don't need indexes:

Transition from one server to another.
A frind of mine and I are running a dedicated server, that among
other things host mail for ourselves and friends and families. All in
all about 15 different domains with 35-40 users. The machine in
question is old, so we are doing a slow transition from the old server
to the new one. So far, we've managed to move web hosts
seamlessly. Due to the technical capabilities at some of the user

Easiest defense against SQL injection in object creation?
I''ve been scouring the web for suggested Rails defenses against SQL
injection, but I haven''t found much on the object creation part.
Certainly using attr_protected, etc., is a good way to prevent unwanted
fields from being modified on the new object (if you''re passing a hash
as creation parameters), but what about escaping the POSTed info before
saving? Couldn''t

New Fedora/Sendmail Install Assistance
Hello everyone,
I've narrowed down my problem, so this should be an easy one for some smart
person out there.
I am moving from an old sendmail/Fedora 2 box to a new sendmail/Fedora 4 box
and want to try Dovecot for pop3. The problem is, I can't get it to work.
I have 9000 email accounts I will be moving to the new box. I've already
tried and failed once. The problem is, Dovecot

setting up home directories
Hello,
I have not been using the home directory but I read in MailLocation.txt that
I probably should. Does dovecot create each directory? What does it put in
there? My server uses mbox format. My users all look like this:
[root at sendmail log]# finger chayes
Login: chayes Name: 50387.00
Directory: /home/chayes Shell: /sbin/nologin
Never logged in.

Interesting new hack attack
In the past little while, we've seen
a wave of attacks on asterisk, via the
provisioning.
It goes something like this:
A. scan for IP phones on the internet,
either via spotting something on port 5060,
or via the port 80 web interface for the phone.
Or, use web sites that scan the internet, and
classify the machines, to make your work shorter.
B. Once you get into the web GUI,

FW: How to log POP3 events
Ok, I think I have that figured out.
I made the following mods:
disable_plaintext_auth = no
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
and it seems to work.
Now...about those enhanced logging capabilities. As promised, I see the
enhanced logging.
What does TOP and RETR mean? (I checked the manual first)

How to detect out-of-sync condition
Thanks.
I use dovecot's lda and dovecot's sieve filter.
So it looks like I need to compare the index/mailbox mtimes as you suggest.
What am I looking for?
I see that the indexes are updated when I run the resync.
I checked my mailbox (that was not resynced) and noticed that
dovecot.index last update was 16 days ago.
So am I resyncing if the gap is over x days?
If so, is there a way to

stopping dictionary attacks (pop3)
Hi Guys,
I was really hoping a couple of years later this would be addressed...
I'm running Dovecot 2.2.5 on FreeBSD.
Is there anyway to limit the number of auth attempts allowed in a
single session? The reason for this is because I have "fail2ban" setup
to firewall out any IP addresses that repeatedly auth fails. The issue
occurs when the connection is already in an
