similar to: Error starting dovecot

I just got my preferred postfix+dovecot(-1.1.1) configuration working on Ubuntu 8.04 server. Users and Maildirs migrated, etc. I wasn't seeing inbound mail (in the email client) until I set: sudo postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/' Which I hadn't needed in the previous server's main.cf I have a few hours worth of inbound mostly-spam in /var/mail/(username) during the time

Hello list, I use currently a non-dovecot pop3 proxy which has the ability to scan all passing mails for viruses. And I like dovecot. I have to combine both. One (and the only) idea is to call a virusscanner a shellscript, installed as PostLoginScript. But I see multiple disadvantages: 1. it's a shellscript which tents to be slow. 2. it's called *on* the mailbox-host, not on a dedicated

hi everyone I am new to dovecot and I am having a little trouble I am getting this error in my mail.log I have google it and can't find a response, Aug 25 08:14:24 mta dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to 127.0.0.1 (postfix) Aug 25 08:14:24 mta dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(sal at prt.com,127.0.0.1): Password query failed: Table 'postfix.password'

I have discovered that many times the virus definitions I use for scanning messages (ClamAV, with the unofficial signatures http://sanesecurity.com/usage/linux-scripts/) are updated some time after my server has received an infected email. It seems the virus creators are trying to race the virus definition creators to see who can deliver first; more than half of the infected messages are found

My dovecot is currently configured to authenticate vs. a userdb/passdb passwd-file that contains, for each user: username:passhash:5000:5000::/path/to/home::userdb_mail=/path/to/maildir Is it possible to let users authenticate and change their passwords? There are some webmail client add-ons that allow such things if users are system accounts or in a

Hello, everyone. To make life for our operations team easier I am looking at setting up a mail mirror of any email which gets sent from certain machines. My current ideas go along the following lines: Each machine will use the Postfix "always_bcc" option and set it to an address like mailmirror at mailmirror.openlane.com. On mailmirror I am looking at setting up Dovecot with public

Estimado Javier, Gracias por tus comentarios. Si, puede ser que me haya expresado en forma incorrecta.
