Hey there - This morning I ran the yum updater through Webmin as I do every month or so - after about two hours I realized that I still had the same updating screen going - and no response. Seemed strange. Simple attempts to kill it didn't work so I sent a command to reboot the system - that seemed to work, till I turned on the monitor directly connected to the server - I saw this

Following a hard drive corruption I have reinstalled the latest version of CentOS and all current patch files. For most applications I selected the default options. By doing this I expected that the packages would play nice with one another and I could customize as necessary. Setting SELinux to enforce I encountered all sorts of problems - but most were resolvable, save for Dovecot,

Just built a new server based on CentOS 5.0 which included Samba 3.0232. I also added Webmin as the server is in the closet without a monitor currently. When I went thorugh the generla tutorial with Webmin Samba worked, but showed all root directories, except for /home. That was not as expected and certainly not very helpful. So, I went back and tried again baseed on what I had used in the

I have a new SentOS 5 system and have been having problems with Samba. I had been able to access my test share but not my home share. Attempting to re-set thigns as describe by the "webmin configure samba" info resluted in being able to see everything but the home shares. I don't know if I could have copied or written to these other directories - didn't try. Continued

I could use some help here - As I use Dovecot I started here when trying to figure out why I could not add new mail folders under my Mac's Mail program, but could under Thunderbird. It was quickly pointed out that my system was set up to use MBOX and not MAILDIR, and some helpful links and notes were sent back and forth giving me a good clue as to how to perform the conversion

Hi, We are moving our current IMAP based system to a new one with dovecot All I can get about the current IMAP (imapd) system is: IMAP4rev1 v12.264 dovecot version is: 1.0.rc15 In the existing system I can see IMAP folders that are in ~/mail/ with many mail clients (e.g. Thunderbird, Outlook, Seamonkey and horde). These folders are presented in the client software as being at the same level

Hello, I'm using 0.99.14 with debian 2.6.8-2-386 #1 Tue Aug 16 12:46:35 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux and exim4. I use the shared folder with symlinks, created by the script create_dovecot_shares-1.06. I have set the permissions and use umask 0007 on dovecot and in exim in maildir_home: directory_mode = 0770 mode = 0660 every thing works well, but if I'm moving a mail from my inbox

Is there a straightforward way to disallow the deletion of all IMAP mailboxes? I have a user who's deleted an important IMAP mailbox and I'm now recovering a recent copy from the backup. But I'd rather just blanket disallow all folder deletions. The user is using Thunderbird and this has happened more than once so I suspect Tbird is willing to let a folder get deleted too easily.

Hi, I'm using dovecot for some time now. Previously I was using Courier and I've migrated this setup to dovecot which went pretty fine. Now I'm experiencing some strange behaviour when using some newer mail clients. Some of my Folders, like "spam", are vanished. The strange point is that it only happens in some clients, like Thunderbird 2.x+ or KMail 3.5.x. In others,

The question is addressed to Linux RPM-packagers. Hello! I was trying to rebuild rc17 binaries from dovecot-1.0-1_38.rc17.at.src.rpm taken at ATrpms <http://ATrpms.net/>.

Hi, I wanted to enable FS quota support in dovecot, and have configured the following directives: protocol imap { mail_plugins = imap_quota } plugin { quota = fs } With this additional settings, my normally working dovecot.conf doesn't start anymore: Starting mail server: dovecotEdlopen(/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap/lib02_imap_quota_plugin.so) failed:

Hi, I have test dovecot on one of my pop3/imap proxies (from rc10 to rc15). I immediately get a lot of error messages like this one : Nov 27 15:10:45 mproxy1 dovecot: pop3-login: file client.c: line 423 (client_unref): assertion failed: (client->destroyed) Nov 27 15:10:45 mproxy1 dovecot: child 21677 (login) killed with signal 6 A lot means one every 2 or 3 seconds. Any suggestion ?

Not sure if this is anything to worry about. Just upgraded to RC15 to do some testing, and like always, I monitor the logs when I do this.

Hello, Using Dovecot's deliver MDA, all mails are stored with the line "From <sender> <date>" appended. When forwarding these mails as attachements, the recipients get the source code. When Postfix delivers emails directly in the Maildirs, this first line is not appended, and there is no problem when forwarding the mails. Why is this line appended by deliver ? Is

I managed to configure Dovecot to use a local OpenLDAP server to authenticate clients, without using SSL. However, I would rather that LDAP is accessed using SSL, but I cannot get Dovecot to connect.

Hi, I am stuck at rc13 because rc14 and rc15 have both failed to keep up with imap connections on my (slow old) system. I have the problem where if a lot of people check their email at once (like at the top of the hour) then my load goes way up and things slow to a crawl. My setup: Solaris 10 on an E220R, mbox format, imap and imaps only. I also use "login_process_per_connection =
