When concatenating mbox files like described here https://xaizek.github.io/2013-03-30/merge-mbox-mailboxes/. You will end up with an 'unsorted' mbox file. Is this going to be a problem esspecially when they are large >2GB's and new emails will be written to it? The email client nicely sorts the message from folder A "foldera 5 last" as last, but of course the mbox is

After setting imap_hibernate_timeout to 60s, I could not find any hibernated connections after a few hours. I tested hibernation and made an observation: IDLE'd imap sessions only hibernate if they don't have a mailbox SELECT'd, otherwise they never hibernate. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

I've thought about doing this someday (adding snapshots to a user's namespace) but never got around to doing it. Snapshots get rotated (e.g. hourly.1 -> hourly.2 -> etc.)

I know it is not dovecot who should fix this. But anyone using dovecot is using an MTA, and receiving spam ;) I know how to look at email headers. Spf and dkim is not solving anything here. -----Original Message----- From: Sebastian Nielsen [mailto:sebastian at sebbe.eu] Sent: donderdag 11 juni 2020 10:23 To: Marc Roos; 'dovecot'; 'users' Subject: SV: handling spam from

Hi, Im configuring sendmail with dovecot for virtual users using password file and file for user name. on centos. dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5 sendmail-8.13.8-2.el5 dovecot ?n # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log ssl_disable: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default):

Say for instance you have some one trying to constantly access an account Has any of you made something creative like this: * configure that account to allow to login with any password * link that account to something like /dev/zero that generates infinite amount of messages (maybe send an archive of virusses?) * transferring TB's of data to this harassing client. I think it would be

Hi! My question is: can dovecot be used to debug/decrypt TLS sessions ? The reason I'm asking: A custom application wants to speak IMAP with TLS with a dovecot instance. It fails, and the error message is, unfortunatly, not very helpful. tcpdump shows that the session is established, but fails. The custom application says error 60000, not much more. There is a way to decode TLS sessions

Hopefully, there is some fix for issue 3 which is beyond my skill to fix. Issue 1) Need recent gcc version Building Dovecot versions <=2.2.x using gcc 3.4.4 worked, but this gcc version fails to build 2.3.x properly: symptoms include compile failures and executable crashes that depended on the amount of optimization used, which is usually a sign of compiler bugs. (It could also be

Ok, what about placing a dummy file of 5GB or so on the partition, that you can remove when necessary? -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: dovecot disk space settings >> I don't want to restrict each mailbox size.

The conf.d files are not included. I have added !include conf.d/*.conf to director.conf and reloaded the dovecot and director services. conf.d/10-logging also has the following lines: log_path = /dovecot.log info_log_path = $log_path debug_log_path = $log_path The /dovecot.log file still shows empty. Nothing is being logged to that file. Thanks & Regards, Naveen On Thu, Dec 26, 2019 at

What do you mean by "iterate"? If you mean whether you can look up a password entry in a multi-entry file, then yes, definitely. If you mean to sequentially go through it and do a first/last/best match,

This is still happening after a reboot, Fedora 28. Restarting dovecot fixes the problem. Does anyone know if it could be related to this bug report? *https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=103401#c130 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=103401#c130> * and suggested work around to add ports to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_reserved_ports?

When changing in a working setup sendmail.mc From this MAILER(smtp)dnl MAILER(procmail)dnl To this FEATURE(`local_lmtp',`[IPC]',`FILE /var/run/dovecot/lmtp')dnl MAILER(local)dnl I am getting these errors '501 5.6.0 Data format error' and ' Unrecognized host name'. What should I change in my lmtp config? Could this be related that messages are being relayed from
