Hello, I'm trying to set up, as explained in the wiki, shared mailboxes with symlink. I'm running dovecot-1.1.8 with LDAP pass/userdb. The Maildir layout goes like this : /courriel/boites/foobar : Maildir of user foobar (nfs) /courriel/meta/foobar : control files of user foobar (nfs) /var/dovecot/indexes : indexes (locally stored) I created : /courriel/boites/doveshared/.box/ :

Hello, let me re-state, hopefully in clearer terms, what I tried to described in a previous thread : With dovecot-1.1.8/Maildir/LDAP pass/userdb (prefetch), I'm trying to set up a Maildir ".box" shared in rw between 2 users in a "Public" namespace. I can't get it to work unless I chmod 777 everything, which obiously is not what I want. 1) am I correct thinking that

Hello, I'm running dovecot-1.1.8/Maildir/ACL plugin. I sucessfully set up a Maildir shared between users of the unix group 'doveshared' via a public namespace, unix permissions and ACL files. The location of my public namespace is /path/to/public. I tried 2 sub-setups : First setup ---------- drwxrws--- 4 root doveshared 4096 Jan 30 13:39 public -rw-r----- 1 root doveshared

Hello Timo, I'm running dovecot-1.2.11/Maildir and plan to migrate to single UID mailboxes some day, but for now, I've got "system" users and I'm testing permissions handling in order to set up shared mailboxes. The private namespace mailboxes location is location = maildir:/courriel/boites/%u:CONTROL=/courriel/meta/%u:INDEX=/var/dovecot-test/indexes/%1u/%u I've

Hello Timo, I want to deny access to some users. For now I'm doing it using 2 passdb's and listing users in a text file. !include auth-deny.conf.ext -> passwd-file driver !include auth-ldap.conf.ext -> ldap driver I want to do the same using only LDAP. I'm not quite sure how to do it : a) should I . change the driver of the first passdb from passwd-file to ldap . for user

Hello, I want to test dovecot proxying, on a user basis, in a simple set up (proxy, no proxy_maybe and forward the passwd to the remote server). This seem pretty simple except that, in order to test it alongside the production server, I set up 3 servers : . the proxy, listening to pop and imap on non standard ports 9143, 9993, 9110, 9995 . a proxy destination for some users, listening on

I have just switched my mail server. I have copied (I think) the config files from the old to new. Exim is work fine on the new machine as I can see email file showing up in /var/mail/lists/new . However, dovecot reports nothing when I check mail . I am have turn on logging on both machines and I do not see anything that looks like an error. I have also looked to see if the dovecot.conf file is

Hi Aki I see what you are saying, and no I don?t believe so. I?m using typical /etc/passwd for the user db. I reviewed https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields <https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields> but I?m not clear on how to actually return system_user userdb attribute. I also have set mail_user_groups = sharedusers in dovecot.conf and then in /etc/group put all

Hello Timo, In order to plan a migration, I want to setup an IMAP proxy (proxy_maybe) with a dovecot server (I'm running the old dovecot-2.1.15 but I could upgrade or use a proxy only dovecot-2.2.x server)/LDAP pass et userdb's. I'm won't be in charge of the migration itself but I think the idea will be to migrate a chunk of users each night and then let the proxy send them to

I'm using dovecot RC6. I have a group named "cmpymail" with 2 users "jdoe at arinbe.com" and "jsmith at arinbe.com". I set up a mail folders like: drwxrwx--- 4 cmpymail cmpymail 4096 2006-08-13 02:21 cmpymail drwxrwx--- 3 jdoe users 4096 2005-11-21 13:34 jdoe drwxrwx--- 3 jsmith users 4096 2006-08-13 02:27 jsmith drwxrwx--- 3 fred users

In the past I dabbled with the imap quota plugin with the fs backend because I wanted to report usage to my users (not limit them). At the time, the quota plugin would make dovecot crash when trying to write to a folder (I can bring up this report if needed). However, in a later beta of dovecot 1.1 I tried quota again but I cannot get it to report any results. I've been wanting to use

Guys, I'm running out of hair to pull out ;). Can anyone out there say that this does work?? To me this is looking like a bug and I'm not sure whether it's the sieve plugin or the dovecot deliver program. I have also had no luck the the "reject" sending any reply back to the sender. My setup: OS: Solaris 10 sparc platform postfix: 2.5.2 dovecot: 1.1.2 sieve plugin: 1.1.5

Dear All, I saw some topics discussed in forums about this, but none with my problems :( Currently we have a mailserver postfix with courier-imap-4.1.1, and courier-pop3 and courier-authlib. Our Maildir's are written in the users home directory (ex: ~/Maildir) I'm now migrating the mailserver to other cluster and installing with dovecot. We're also moving the Maildir's to

I am stuck. I get nothing in the logs (about deliver). Sendmail complains about "User unknown". I am not sure I have my sendmail.mc configured right, can someone confirm or give me some sample config files that make use of Dovecot+LDAP and sendmail LDA? Dovecot is running as root. I am a little confused, so the auth-master is not even needed? (the whole socket listen {}, since I am

Hello Timo, I'm trying to configure dovecot-2.1.15 master correctly regarding imap-login limits. I want to use service_count=0 and I'm starting with something like this : #default_process_limit = 100 #default_client_limit = 1000 service imap-login { [...] service_count = 0 process_min_avail = 8 vsz_limit = 1024M } -> Does it make sense to set a process_limit if
