If this is an SMTP relay server, I'm surprised you bothered to install an IMAP server at all. It would have been easier to simply alias postmaster@ to another account on another machine where you do store mailboxes. I.e. simply

Hi list I am just experimenting with seting up my own email server. I want some tips and hints on how to secure my setup to prevent unauthorised assess to my email. I have read through the wiki and have not found many tips. I hope to improve the wiki with tips gathered from the emailing list. :-) A basic measurement I could take right now would be to set more secure file premissions on my

Hello, Thanks for all the replies. I've added a mailbox to the namespace definition for the public folders. I can do a doveadm acl get -A "Public/general" works but "Public/TestFolder" does not. Here's my 90-public.conf file: #cat 90-public.conf # Public mailboxes namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = Public/ location =

I've gotten errors like this when it was actually a selinux denial. If you're running selinux, check those logs too.

Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:03:03 -0400 I am not sure exactly where the problem is here. I am using a sieve script that sorts various incoming messages into their own mailbox. MS Outlook does not show those folders if they are not directly under INBOX. EXAMPLE: drwx------ 31 vmail vmail 1.0K 2014-07-19 14:46:55 EDT ./ drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 512B 2014-07-02 13:52:03 EDT ../ drwx------ 5

Dear dovecot users. I have an odd issue in that when I connect to my dovecot server from either a local or remote system I can't see my test emails (I have the impression that is is looking at the wrong location on disk). here are some details.... # dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.3 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes

Hello, I'm trying to set up a public folder called TestFolder.

Hi, I have been using this setup for years: mail_home = /var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~ I have since learned that mail_home and mail_location should be different. I plan to use this: mail_home = /var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail I would like the transition to be transparent for my email clients. I don't want mail/directories/sieve_scripts to

Hello! I've got dovecot running with postfix. Have virtual users under vmail folder. When I connect with outlook, I can read, delete messages. When I sign on with webmail, also can delete messages, Mutt is working as well on the mail server, can delete messages. Once the message is deleted it moves to the trash. Works as it supposed to. But on Iphone, when I add a mail user, got the

Hi, I've run into a bit of a problem and exhausted my knowledge and research. I'm hoping that I've overlooked something very obvious! I moved from a single Apple OS X 10.6.2 server Dovecot environment to a NFS clustered environment, currently with two servers. Both servers are identical hardware, software. Currently both the Dovecot index and data files are on the NFS RAID array.

Hi, I use Dovecot 2.2.32 I just migrated spool from another server (by copying filesystem, I use maildir), this is an example of mailbox's content: drwx------ 20 postfix postfix 30 Oct 4 18:38 . drwx------ 3 postfix postfix 3 Nov 16 2012 .. drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 11 Jun 19 18:22 .Deleted Items drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 11 Sep 29 09:27 .Drafts drwx------ 5 postfix postfix 9 Oct 4

Hello, I stumbled across a 5-year-old post on the dovecot list about changing the dovecot hierarchy separator to enable shared mailboxes (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-January/056201.html <http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-January/056201.html>). At the moment I?m stuck in a pretty similar situation. Migrated from courier to dovecot 2 years ago and preserved the

I'm completely stumped by this problem and I've tried everything at present - including installing dovecot from scratch. The problem is that when trying to get email from the server -AND- there's email in the account, the pop3 or imap process freezes and no email is fetched. The crazy thing is, that it has been working perfectly, but suddenly I'm getting these freezes both

Hi, I am having some problems with my vacation messages using dovecot. The mail is send without problems, and the auto-respond is working as well. But its always auto-responding, because the lda-dupes file can't be created.

Hi, When I enable (and it only happens when it is actually running) replication over TCP my users get duplicate mails via pop3. Here?s what happens: * User gets mail * Mail appears in (Maildir) new/ folder on both replicas * user retrieves mail (retr), calls dele. Mail still exists in new/ folder on both replicas. * user runs retr (and gets the duplicate) and dele a second time, the mail is

Hi, tried to Google/etc to see what to tweak.. not finding anything helpful. So.. I've been running my private mail through a Linux server since approx year 2000. The OS has been various flavors of Fedora or CentOS, since for work, I have to spend all day supporting some sort of Red Hat flavor. So I run SquirrelMail on top of Dovecot and Postfix on CentOS 7, things have been great for like
