Hello, I have a linux system (Ubuntu 7.04 server edition) running Postfix 2.3.8 Today i installed Dovecot through apt-get (got version 1.0.rc17 installed) and configured it to do sasl auth only, (i already have other pop3,smtp and imap servers running) following the howto's at dovecot.org The thing is that if i try to start dovecot or run dovecot -n i get this message: Error: Can't use

I just got my preferred postfix+dovecot(-1.1.1) configuration working on Ubuntu 8.04 server. Users and Maildirs migrated, etc. I wasn't seeing inbound mail (in the email client) until I set: sudo postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/' Which I hadn't needed in the previous server's main.cf I have a few hours worth of inbound mostly-spam in /var/mail/(username) during the time

Hello list, I use currently a non-dovecot pop3 proxy which has the ability to scan all passing mails for viruses. And I like dovecot. I have to combine both. One (and the only) idea is to call a virusscanner a shellscript, installed as PostLoginScript. But I see multiple disadvantages: 1. it's a shellscript which tents to be slow. 2. it's called *on* the mailbox-host, not on a dedicated

The "Message Filters" show up in "Options" of squirrelmail, but "Could not log on to timsieved daemon on your IMAP server ........." dovecot log shows: Mar 6

I have discovered that many times the virus definitions I use for scanning messages (ClamAV, with the unofficial signatures http://sanesecurity.com/usage/linux-scripts/) are updated some time after my server has received an infected email. It seems the virus creators are trying to race the virus definition creators to see who can deliver first; more than half of the infected messages are found

Hi, I recognised some funny behaviour on my server. IMAP clients which won't send an Server Name Indication (SNI) sometimes get the wrong certificate. I would expect that those clients always get the default certificate (of my new domain), instead in about 20 to 50% of connections the certificate of my old domain will be presented. (sample rate was 3 times 30 connections) Clients sending SNI

Hello, the dovecot-example.conf states: # Authentication cache size in kilobytes. 0 means it's disabled. # Note that bsdauth, PAM and vpopmail require cache_key to be set for caching # to be used. #auth_cache_size = 0 # Time to live in seconds for cached data. After this many seconds the cached # record is no longer used, *except* if the main database lookup returns # internal failure. We

Hi all, are there any pitfalls known for the migration from 2.0.18 to 2.1? Can I simply stop dovecot, make install and start again? --Frank Elsner

Hello, I'm using dovecot v2.0.21. According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration,dovecot 2.x supports different SSL certificate for different virtual hosts by using "local_name" directive, but I can't get it to work. When testing the certificate using "openssl s_client -connect domain.com:pop3s" I get the default certificate instead of

Hey everybody, I'm trying to get mysql master/slave replication to work under SSL. I've created the certs for both the slave and the master. I've configured the master and slave my.cnf. And it does appear that replication is actually working. Master is actually MariaDB (version 5.5.41-MariaDB-log, and the slave is MySQL (version 5.5.41-log). But there are two issues I'd like to

I apologize if this is a stupid question but I just compiled 2.0.8 and am trying to use doveadm to get the quota for a user using the -S <socket_path> option because I have different options for the various local IPs that dovecot listens on. For example, my default quota is filesystem (NFS rquota) and I can get that by doing: doveadm quota get -u warden which tells me: Quota name

Hello, dovecot-1.0.3 on Fedora 6 works perfect in general but sometimes the system becomes unresponsive and the log file shows tons of messages like this: ... imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down: 127.0.0.1, secured ... pop3-login: Disconnected: Shutting down: aa.bb.cc.dd Restarting dovecot helps, but what's behind? What can I do to prevent this? dovecot -n output: #
