i've upgraded dovecot on my server to 2.3.9 works properly but saslauthd that uses it for rimap authentication over 127.0.0.1 works SLOW. You need to wait 15-20 seconds before authentication. only imap login over 127.0.0.1 is slowed down, while over any other IP is quick. i had this problem with older version of dovecot but it was about adding login_trusted_networks = 127.0.0.1 but i

user attempts to create folders with / dovecot naturally cannot create it so it returns error but outlook of course "create" it and keep data in local store only. data is lost when you remove local store .pst file. The question is - can dovecot be configured so it will automatically replace slash in name with something else?

I tell users to limit the folder characters to /0-9a-zA-Z_/, because anything else may upset a mail client or server. As I have no control over their minds, hands, and client software, I wish I could enforce the policy from the server, returning an error message to the client. On its turn, this requires the client to listen to such server messages, operated by a smarter user. At the end of the

Hi all What is the best strategy to add another storage to an existing virtual mail system ? Move some domains to the new storage and create symlinks ? Switch to dovecot hashing ? But in this case what is the easy-east way to migrate ? Thanks for any suggestions or tips !

I think we need a public compliance test, similar to html and ssl, then people would start questioning the quality of their own client, and migrate to better ones. When Micro$oft will eventually feel the pinch, then they will start fixing their $hit. People have the power! (I like that song.)

No, it is saslauthd. Check the documention and see the "-r" parameter of saslauthd. Alexander

Hi, Our organization is currently using a passwd-file user database for our Dovecot installs. However, we now want to provide simple username aliases. We currently use usernames that are -not- equal to the email address, but due to the fact that many major email clients/providers do not even allow you to specifiy a username, we now want to provide aliases where the username is equal to the

Hi! Anybody got a doveadm script which can remove leading and trailing spaces from folder names? Right now we're migrating mailboxes from dovecot -> Exchange, and Exchange cannot handle leading and trailing spaces in Folder names. -- Ralf Hildebrandt Gesch?ftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charit? - Universit?tsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203

how to make selected few accounts readonly by pop3/imap?

what FTP module should i use instead of squat that is probably no longer supported or no longer at all? i want to upgrade my dovecot installation. it currently uses squat but i found it often crashes on FTS on large mailboxes. i found "xapian" addon for dovecot but while it works excellent AFTER database is created, i found it need like 20 or so minutes to index less than 10GB of
