Hi all, My situation is this: I have postfix running on a Linode under Arch Linux. A recent upgrade to dovecot broke the configuration. Now I get "Couldn't drop privileges: User is missing UID (see mail_uid setting)." I do not want virtual users. I do not particularly want SQL or LDAP. I do have multiple domains. I do use Maildir. I already have SSL certificates for the server

Hello all, I'm having problems with what I'm told should be a straightforward issue. The message in /var/log/daemon is: <quote> Feb 13 10:37:57 lupin upsmon[31324]: Master privileges unavailable on UPS [lupin1500AVR@localhost]

Hello all, Some time ago, you all were very helpful in getting nut running on an OpenBSD system, using--for what it's worth--a CyberPower 1500AVR. So I finally got my FreeBSD system's UPS, also a CyberPower 1500AVR, within reach of its serial cable and I'm trying to get nut running here. I'm going nuts. Basically, I copied the OpenBSD configuration over to the FreeBSD system

Hi, Horde seems to be quite the problem child. It sorta kinda looks like session handling is entirely broken. kronolith will let me in, but not for long. Then I get "invalid token" and am bounced back to the home screen. imp won't let me in at all. This behavior is completely broken: I get a log in screen and a message in /var/log/messages about not being authorized for IMP (which

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm running Dovecot v1.0.10 and downloaded the "HEAD snapshot" today. If both plugins are enabled, I get: : file zlib-plugin.c: line 64 (zlib_maildir_get_stream): assertion failed: (fname != NULL) : Raw backtrace: imap [0x80ad741] -> imap [0x80ad65c] ->

I have my master IMAP server running DC V1.0.10. The homedir and INBOXdir are physically resident there and NFS exported (no caching) to 3 other machines. I have installed V1.1beta13 on one of them (which thus accesses the homedir/INBOXdir remotely) and plan to have a limited community test-drive it there. Are there any hazards or drawbacks in doing this? While the homedirs and INBOXdirs

Hi, I'am using Ubuntu Server, and I can't get Dovecot working. Please give me a clue if you can. Ok, my gide to configuration was https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot I tryed to "telnet mydomain.com 110", but the authentication fails, give this error: -ERR Authentication failed. Besides this, I can't "telnet mydomain.com 110" outside my localhost My

Somehow I doubt there are any Dovecot setups left that unknowingly have this problem, but it still counts as a security hole. The possibility to cause this problem exists in Dovecot v1.0.rc11 and later. If you use: 1. passdb ldap with settings: - auth_bind = yes - auth_bind_userdn = no - base containing %variables required for unique user identification, e.g. base = dc=%d,dc=org -

So, I use procmail extensively, and I have for a long time, but marking messages as 'read' in a Maildir has always been a little wonky: TRAP='mv "$LASTFOLDER" "${LASTFOLDER}:2,S"' Since I've switched to dovecot, is there a way to mark a message on delivery as read or not new or seen? -- Clarke's Law: Sufficiently advanced technology is

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I'm migrating from one system to another.

I'm using dovecot 1.0.rc15 with debian etch. In dovecot.conf I have set mail_plugins = quota imap_quota for imap mail_plugins = quota for pop3 and quota = maildir:storage=10240. I seems that it doesn't work 'cause I send messages over 10M and it doesn't block my maildir box. I have to do something more?

Hi all, while looking through the wiki page MainConfig, I noticed a lot of wannabe-links, for example: <doc/wiki/SSL> This looks like it should have been converted to a wiki link automatically, but apparently isn't. Would be good to have this fixed? Gr. Matthijs -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: signature.asc Type:

I am having a recurring problem with Dovecot 1.0.8 failing to MIME-decode certain messages. The client is Mulberry 4.0.8. The messages causing the problem seem to be MIME messages with "no parts". I.e. the message has some MIME encoding, but is just included as the message body. The kind of effect I will see is a proliferation of untranslated =xx codes, or in some cases an untranslated

Hi! Recently I've experienced problems with dovecot. Dovecot died silently, what means is that there are no core files, nor any indication in the log files, just the "kevent(): Invalid argument" messages. Dovecot just died, so deliver could not connect to the auth-master socket, which means that messages couldn't been delivered. The problem is that postfix thought that the

Greetings, On http://wiki.dovecot.org/MainConfig I read: "mmap_disable = no Don't use mmap() at all. This is required if you store indexes to shared filesystems (NFS or clustered filesystem). " Does that mean: 1. mmap is required when using NFS or 2. it is required to don't use mmap at all when using NFS? Sorry if this is obvious. Best regards. -- *Marcio Merlone*
