I used to install dovecot on any Fedora fresh installation and I could fetch my internal mail few minutes later. Now I've been struggling for two days and I haven't got my mail working yet. I have Fedora 14 with sendmail. Some application on the same machine send mail to an account on the same machine (hence all is confined to one machine) and I want to retrieve it from a laptop

Hi, I'm working on a setup of dovecot 2 + netqmail + vpopmail 5.5 but auth doesn't works :( dovecot -n # 2.0.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.35.1-rscloud x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain disable_plaintext_auth = no log_path =

Hi, I've been working on configuring a new Postfix+Dovecot+Cyrus-SASL +Postgres server to perform multi-domain virtual hosting with non-unix accounts. I believe I have everything working correctly and have tested both the SASL portion and POP authentication through telnet and all works as expected, with one exception. When I authenticate using POP3: # telnet mail.host 110 Trying

Hi, We are migrating from a windows server and i have very few stats as to what our current concurrent usage stats are other than about 50,000 active users and 90,000 email messages a day inbound 20,000 outbound. Anyone got some tips for tuning dovecot to handle this load? Below is my config - do the values of login_process_size etc sound correct? Also my logs seem to be written out as root

>From the configuration notes (1.0.10), it sounds like setting 'auth_debug_passwords' will only log the user supplied password if there was a mismatch.. When I set it (with auth_debug=no), I get a good amount of auth debug info, regardless of password matching.. ------ dovecot.conf: # In case of password mismatches, log the passwords and used scheme so the # problem can be debugged.

I've been pouring over the documentation for dovecot, but can't find a solution to this problem. I recently took over administration of the dovecot email service at the University where I work, and things were going smoothly. We've been creating email accounts for use with JIRA, a bug reporting/tracking system, and one day recently, when I tried to add a new account to JIRA, I got

Hello Timo, I just launched rc1 with auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes #auth_debug_passwords = no and on a wrong password, I see my crypted passwd in the log : userPassword(password)={Crypt}xxxxxxxx Is that normal, since I assume that auth_debug_passwords defaults to no ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel at pasteur.fr> | P?le informatique - syst?mes et r?seau

I just upgraded my Ubuntu server from 11.10 to 12.04.1 and that upgraded Dovecot to 2.0.19. For some reason I'm getting a lot more (5 times) disconnect in IDLE and inactivity time outs. I'm using only IMAP with two users. Both users access the server from multiple devices, phone, tablet and desktop computer. I had previously set the max_userip_connections to 20 and rarely got the

Hello In my installation the disable_plaintext_auth does not appear to take effect. I can see that the value is correct using doveconf -a but it doesn't change anything. Whenever attempting to log in using IMAP I get this: * BAD [ALERT] Plaintext authentication not allowed without SSL/TLS, but your client did it anyway. If anyone was listening, the password was exposed. ls NO

Hello, Dovecot log is showing too many POP3 RETR entries which are identical lines. I also suspect that it is causing high pop traffic eating most of the network bandwidth. Here are some of the lines out of 11009 in a day. Such pattern is observed only for few users. dovecot version is 2.1.17. ============== Mar 20 00:00:07 pi3 dovecot: pop3(user at example.com): Disconnected: Logged out

I have a vsftp server hosted on custom dyndns site. We have a 4mb ADSL connection. When I tried to download the files from the ftp server with wan IP address or the dyndns address it downloads some files and disconnects.

Hello, For months I have the following configuration in run. Postfix with Mysql and Postfixadmin, Courier Imap + Pop I get a new server and, therefore, would like to change on Dovecot. The installation has also clapped without problems and the configuration has run so far also without defects. If I liked to call away the emails, I always get the announcement Internal Login failure.

Many thanks to Joseph Tam and Steffen Kaiser for pointing me to the logging information that I should have been using in the first place. Now that I have separate log files and debugging information, I'm still at a loss to see why the mail is not being pulled over from the Linux system to the Windows 7 machine. To recap, here is the output from doveconf -n:

Hi all. I`ve got such problem: default_mail_env = mbox:%h/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/domain.net.ua/%n - it works. But when I say: default_mail_env = mbox:%h/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%d/%n - it not.

Hello, I am very new to R, and this is certainly and uber-newby question: I am trying to read a vector of numeric data that contains the log of daily DJI returns and simply plot a histogram of it.

Hello I am struggling with Dovecot 2 (coming from Dovecot 1.0.10) with mysql Authentification for Postfix. I get errors when using it: dovecot: auth: Fatal: Unknown database driver 'mysql' dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling But a first thing would be to log the real errors, if there are any, so I set in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf
