Dovecot authenticating to multiple kerberos realms
Hello,
I got Postfix, Dovecot 1.1.7 configure to use pam and the pam.d/dovecot
file is configure to use pam_krb5 module. Everything is working with no
problems, but I am finding that the user must type the domain part in
uppercase in order to successfully authenticate.
So I am wondering if there is any way for the user to login as
user1 at domain.com instead of user1 at DOMAIN.COM...?

Denying authentication
Hello,
I've been running dovecot for over 3 years now and it works
with no problems. I have it setup so that it authenticates users against
Active Directory via LDAP and so far no problems.
What I would like to know is if there is any way that I
could deny access for users trying to access email via cellphones or email
clients outside the company. I can

Gmail style conversations
Hello,
I am wondering if there is any way to support Gmail style
conversation when using Dovecot? Someway of associating all inbound and sent
emails..?
I know that some clients let you display the emails in
"conversation" which kinda does what Gmail does, however, it does not
associate the Sent emails with it.
Thanks for any information.

Load Balancing and HA
Hello,
I've been thinking about the best way to achieve load balancing and making
my mail servers highly available. So far I believe I have 2 scenarios:
Scenario1: This should allow any to lose any of the servers and clients
still have access to their emails (although I am not sure how the indexes
would react to this and sudden disconnection)

GlusterFS + Dovecot
Hello,
Has anyone used GlusterFS as storage file system for dovecot or any other
email system..?
It says that it can be presented as a NFS, CIFS and as GlusterFS using the
native client, technically using the client would allow the machine to read
and write to it, therefore, I think that Dovecot would not care about it.
Correct?
Anyone out there used this setup??
Thanks.

LDA questions
Hello,
I am looking at the docs and I see this:
Problems with deliver
Namespaces are supported with v1.1 and later. With v1.0 and older
versions mails can be delivered only to mailboxes specified by the
mail_location setting.
But in the dovecot.conf I see:
# NOTE: Namespaces currently work ONLY with IMAP! POP3 and LDA currently
ignore
# namespaces completely, they use only the mail_location

MySQL as a storage only.?
Hello,
I was wondering is I could use MySQL as storage only..? Meaning that no
user information, other than the obvious email address associated with an
specific email so that each email can be showed to the right user, will be
stored in a MySQL database instead of /home/vmail/DOMAIN/<user>
Would I get any advantages.? Would it be better, faster?
Thanks

Domain part / auth_username_format
Hey folks,
I want to authenticate a pop3 user without a domain part and then use
the domain part to specify a Maildir subfolder to grab messages from.
So, this was my attempt:
# use the domain part to access a subfolder
mail_location = maildir:/mail/%n/Maildir/%d
# strip of the domain part for authentication purposes
auth_username_format = %n
login: testuser at .INBOX.SubFolder
