I recently am attempting a mbox to Maildir conversion, initially for a single email address, and then for everyone. To further this diagnostic here is the dovecot -n: dovecot -n # 1.1.4: /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login

I have been using UW's IMAP server and I am converting to Dovecot for Maildir support. When a user fails authentication, or a user does not exist, it appears that the same message is used for these events. Is there a way to indicate that the user does not exist (Invalid user), and authentication Failure (Failed Password)? Clearly these two failures indicate a different error in the system.

Is there an automatic solution to this?

OK, I have been running the UW-POP3 server which currently translates all login ids as lowercase (i.e. Anthony becomes anthony). Now the Dovecot server is very flexible and currently I have not found how to translate the upper case characters to lowercase. What configuration setting will translate the userids to lowercase? -- Albert E. Whale, CHS CISA CISSP Sr. Security, Network, Risk

I am migrating from UW's POP3 server (mbox), to Dovecote (mbox -> maildir). Anyway, I am concerned about the Logging details offered by Dovecot, as I manage several details from the logging information provided by UW's Syslog information. Here's a sample of the UW information: Oct 7 22:08:39 ns6 ipop3d[15432]: pop3 service init from 66.207.133.233 Oct 7 22:08:39 ns6

Oct 5 22:51:59 ns6 dovecot: POP3(aewhale): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/spool/mail/aewhale: Permission denied Any suggestions? -- Albert E.

I've been running a mbox solution using UW's IMAP server. I've run it for years. Now do to heavy message volumes, I've decided to to take the plunge to convert to the Maildir format. I am currently testing a single user, and have successfully converted the mail messages from mbox to Maildir format, and now I am setting up the procmail tool to place the messages into the correct

I have a problem with Dovecot 1.1.6 after having reset the UID/GID information for a few email accounts. I get the following error: Dec 5 12:26:03 ns6 dovecot: POP3(mike): stat(/home/popuser_mike/Maildir/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=1366 egid=1366 missing +x perm: /home/popuser_mike/Maildir) Dec 5 12:26:03 ns6 dovecot: POP3(mike): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred.

Not sure what happened here, but today, all of a sudden, pop3 emails are not being deleted. I was using the 1.1.3 version then upgraded to 1.1.4 now it no longer deletes emails.

I have, but I will be happy to review it once again. On 12/18/18 2:14 PM, admin wrote: > Am Dienstag, den 18.12.2018, 14:06 -0500 schrieb Albert E.

I have two servers pointing to an NFS mounted mail spool with dovecot.? Since I recently switched from using Dovecot v1.X, I have been experiencing high CPU use with the two Dovecot servers. I am not certain why they are not well behaved.? Here is the configuration information. This configuration is currently running at a load average of 17. /usr/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.1.15:

Yes, there is currently concurrent usage because the Mail spool is NFS Mounted. Here is the current configuration: dovecot -n # 2.1.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.10.54-server-2.mga3 i686 Mageia 3 base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no lock_method = dotlock login_greeting = SpamZapper Email ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m

I am attempting to integrate a Linux Samba Server with an NT 4.0 PDC. Ideally I am looking to authenticate the users on the PDC, and then permit access to the Samba Shares on the Linux Box. I have several issues, but the one which is presenting itself currently is when I attempt to Browse the PDC using smbclient. I get the following: smbclient -L dumbo added interface ip=192.168.0.11

Maybe I misunderstand. Each user is only able to access their mailbox from a single connection at a time. Other users can access the NFS Spool from other connections, I think that is what I am calling Concurrent connections. Is that the same definition you have?

In attempting to reactivate my IMAP communications with my Email Spool (NFS Mounted), I have gotten the following while attempting to download the Emails via POP3.

I am transitioning an existing server from using exclusively mbox, to being able to support both mbox and then fully maildir formats. I need to support the mbox format until I can get everyone switched over to maildir. What do I need to to use in the config of /etc/dovecot.conf to support the default of mbox, and then the new Maildir format (users will get upgraded individually from mbox to

I am using Dovecot in two Server environments. My Legacy (5 years+ old) servers are running dovecot 1.1.20, and are responding as expected. These servers are using an NFS based storage for the /home directory structure, and are working beautifully. However, I need to replace these inefficient servers, and get more current. That brings me to the problem, where I am implementing Dovecot

I received this from Matt Jockers and it worked! I missed something. How can I now see(display) this list? Hi Riann, There are a couple of ways that you could do this. . . the best approach would probably be to use *grep* instead of *which*, but let me show you both ways. On page 30, replace whales.v <- which(moby.word.v == *whale*) with whale_words <- c(*whale", *whales",
