Hello, I'm tasked with establishing a persistent SSH connection across a very unreliable link, for a remote port forward (always port 2217). I figured I'd use ServerAliveInterval to make sure that the ssh(1) process dies when the connection appears down, and I use systemd to restart it in this case. This works fine. What does not work fine, however, is the server-side. If the connection

That's a good point. DHCP allows you to set DNS search parameters. So as long as each location sets different search, "ssh fishbowl" will in fact resolve to the proper local FQDN.

Hi folks, According to the wiki,? it's considered a feature of Dovecot and its ability to support multiple authentication sources that "if the password doesn't match in the first database, it checks the next one". ?) http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases I think it's great that Dovecot allows auth sources to be stacked like this, but I am not sold on the

Hello, I am in the peculiar situation to have to set up a PBX for two independent sites, but operated by the same entity. Yes, I could set up two VPSs and install Asterisk to each, put common stuff (e.g. conferencing setup) into Git and share between both using includes, but for various reasons (among them simplicity and cost), I'd prefer a single Asterisk instance. I know I can #include

Yeah sure, templating works, but it introduces a layer of complexity that can make debugging hard(er). I

Dear list, I am running dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian server. One user reports continuous problems synchronising her mailbox via IMAP (offlineimap, via SSH tunnel or SSL socket). It seems that she has a large, locally-created message, but the uplink bandwidth seems to be not enough to push it before dovecot times out the APPEND command. The error/exception happens inside offlineimap's Python

I am a bit at a loss here with Sieve (pigeonhole) and the spamtest extension. I am using Dovecot 2.1.7 (backported to Debian squeeze), which comes with Pigeonhole 0.3.0. Messages are scanned with SpamAssassin, which adds a header like X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=84.6 required=5.0 tests=? and so I configured spamtest in conf.d/90-plugin.conf like so: sieve_spamtest_status_type = score

Hey, we're experiencing a weird problem with Asterisk 1.8.13.1 (1:1.8.13.1~dfsg1-3+deb7). Calls that leave and enter Asterisk via a PBX (sipgate.de) work perfectly fine, almost 100% of the time. However, calls that are routed to sipgate.de, which then routes the call back to our Asterisk instance are "silent" most of the time. What I mean with that is that even though RTP traffic

Hello, we're using vmm? to manage our postfix+dovecot virtual mail setup, which allows us to give every virtual user a separate EUID and every domain a separate EGID for additional security (vs. handling all virtual mail with a single "vmail" user). As a consequence, however, vmm must itself create the user directories with the appropriate owners, and to do so, it requires root

Hi folks, I know it's a bit a n00bish question, but I'm a little confused about this many different ways on setting up dovecot with postfix and using a PostgreSQL backend for virtual hosts. I've found this one quiet helpful: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotPostgresql even it seems to be little outdated for recent versions of dovecot (the auth part of dovecot.conf). Also its

Dear list, I am experimenting with a new mail handling setup and it involves a single IMAP folder with just under 70'000 messages. When OfflineIMAP connects to the server, the imap process starts to eat up a lot of memory: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 15607 madduck 35 19 283m 244m 239m D 16.9 49.3 0:09.96 imap On the contrary, when

Hello, I am using virt-manager 0.9.4 on a Debian unstable system (libvirt 0.9.12) to connect to a libvirtd via SSH running on a Debian testing system (also version 0.9.12), and I have a problem using virt-manager, which first takes ages to connect, then freezes. The SSH connection is top-quality, the hosts are next to each other and connected by Gigabit Ethernet. virsh connections work fine.

Dear list, we would really like to be able to "invite a third and fourth party" to our current one-on-one call. At the moment, we have to agree to dial into MeetMe 10 minutes later, then make calls to the third parties, and hope it all works out. I have found a couple of examples on the Internet for converting channels into conferences, but I could not get any of them working. Does

Hi list, I understand that dovecot's deliver does a little more than deliver: it also updates the dovecot metadata stored with each Maildir. Thus, if I use deliver as opposed to procmail's internal Maildir delivery, it seems that the IMAP server later has less work to do since the metadata is can use are up to date. Doing this, however, incurs an extra process for each mail delivered. I

Using dovecot 1.0rc15, together with postfix and dovecot-lda. umask is set to 0007. This should ensure directories and files get created with read/write permissions for both user and group. However, dovecot-lda writes files with 600 permissions, instead of 660. So dovecot does not seem to respect the umask configuration property for local mail delivery. In my particular case, I have

Hi there, I found that with an IMAP command like <unique-leader> STORE 1 +FLAGS (testflag) I can set arbitrary flags on mails through the dovecot IMAP daemon. This rules. Now I wonder, however, how I can remove those flags, which become properties of the folder, really. For instance, after the above, SELECT on the containing folder gives: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen
