I was recently asked to upgrade some neolithic aged software (UW-IMAP, sendmail 8.12.x, apache 1.3, amongst other horrors). The box is physically remote, so an aggressive "new flush" wasn't an option. I've been able to upgrade the compiler to gcc-3.4, openssl to 1.0.2k, glibc, php to something in the 5.4-branch, etc. I have CLucene working, even. I know should take a shotgun

Fortunately, it just involves reformatting the data and a little reconmfiguration of dovcot. If you can find the tool and disk space, it's well worth doing. Of course, when running a proverbial

Hello, I'm using dovecot as a mail relay so that I can back up my providers IMAP mail locally. I'm impressed how easy this was to set up, but I'm having a quirk that I would like help with, if possible. There are many weak links in my set-up chain, if you will, but I think I've narrowed the problem. I'll describe my set-up anyway. I'm running dovecot 1.1.4 on ubuntu

I am trying to get user authentication in a 200X AD to have domain users see the samba shares (RH ES3, samba 3.0.9-1).

Hi all! I am attemping to call a method inside of my LeviUserController named show_userland from my LeviInterfaceController class. No matter how I do it, I keep getting some type of error. If I make the method a class method, then my render_partial inside of show_userland can''t be found. If i call it using @luser = LeviUserController.new; @luser.show_userland; I get an error with a nil

Hello everyone, I am testing Dovecot 1.1.3 at the moment to see if I can migrate from UW-Imap(mbox) to Dovecot(maildir). Because I dont' want to influence the production server I installed Dovecot on an ununsed computer with some dummy-testusers using ssl and maildir. Installation was without any problems and everything works fine with one exception: I cannot download some attachments.

Since switching to lmtp in dovecot, mail to user+mailboix at example.com does not get saved in ?.mailbox? as it did with LDA, instead it gets saved into the INBOX. If it matters, these are users who do NOT have a ~/.active_sieve file. I could understand (though it would bene a bit annoying) if the save overrode this mechanism. I did add lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes in the protocol lmtp

Greetings to all. It's my first post to the list. We just completed a migration from qpopper to dovecot for our IMAP and POP3 services. We have a rather large mail environment (we are the biggest provider in Greece). So, here are the details: - Keep getting errors like these in our production environment Jul 22 00:18:21 pop01 dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3): child 4078 killed with

Hello, I have Win98 clients that need to connect "securely" to directories on Linux boxes. In smb.conf, I have added these home directories: [Luser Dir] comment = dir public = no browseable = yes writable = yes path = /home/luser Accounts have been created in the appropriate directories with proper accessibility, this includes passwords. This was done with "useradd

Sometimes I'll get an email from a luser which will cause the POP3 daemon to sig11. The email "appears" to be legal. The sig11s only happen on specific emails, and once I remove the emails from the server, the rest can be downloaded. I gzipped the email, and its at http://theapt.org/bogusemail.gz. While this example is international spam, the sig11s happen with real emails too.
