similar to: IMAP - multi-simultaneous-user mail store

I have several shell scripts to manage user accounts on a server. I've been using a file with the usernames of peoples accounts that any script needs to process. I had a thought that I can and should be setting up groups and adding user accounts to those groups so I don't have to maintain a set of files with the user accounts. So essentially, I am looking for a (simple) shell

So I setup ssh on a server so I could do some work from home and I think the second I opened it every sorry monkey from around the world has been trying every account name imaginable to get into the system. What's a good way to deal with this?

Greetings, I'm a Fedora user likely going to switch to CentOS in the next few days. I'm wondering if anyone has some heads up advice for me? I am very familiar with FC6 and before so I anticipate few problems I haven't already seen (and know were fixed). The main reason for the move is so I don't have to re-install so frequently and hopefully not have to deal with so many

As I mentioned on this list before, I'm switching from Fedora 6 to Centos 5. I'm setting up the mail server and on Fedora I used the milter rpms for greylisting, spamassassin, mimedefant etc. However I don't see that those are included with Centos? Is this true, or do my yum repositories need to be changed to look in an 'extras' location? Or is there some other source

I'm setting up multiple systems and ideally I want the same package configuration on all of them. So I'm going through yum and rpm queries manually to try and get this done. There must be a better way. Is there a way to use yum or rpm to configure multiple systems with the same packages? If yum or rpm has something native built into it to do this, that would be great. If

Hi, I'm trying to use dovecot for storing mailing lists and read-only access for users. The OS is Solaris, authentication for all readers of these lists are from Ldap through PAM, and one local user "listuser" will receive all mail and store them into it's folders (Maildirs). These maildirs are readable (read-only) for all others and they are shared by setting --- mail_location:

Greetings all, I'm a new user of Dovecot and want to say thanks for the great software. I am having a problem at the moment. I run a heterogeneous network with windows and Mac clients logging into a Fedora Linux 2 box running sendmail and previously UW-IMAP, but now Dovecot. I am using strictly pop3, plain authentication with mbox format. Every computer in the network is working fine with

Hello, i'm searching for a way to use Shared mailboxes with Sieve Filtering. I need global email addresses like: info at foo.tld contact at foo.tld help at foo.tld Every address with own Sieve-rules for filtering and sorting of incoming mails. Now every user needs access to this folders, but how? How should i create the "global" addresses? I already found

We have for many years been a UW-IMAP site, with users having their own traditional, private, mbox-format INBOX and folders: almost (but not quite) no complications of shared or simultaneous access. We have just completed a transparent transition to dovecot (official 1.0.0 release). But we have one residual issue affecting one important user account. UW-IMAP specifically only allows single

I can't understand what you

I'm running dovecot 2.2.16 on my FreeBSD mail server. I've read information on the wiki about setting up shared mailboxes, but I want to do something that isn't really coved by the instructions I was reading there. My son (now 7 years old) has an account on the system, but doesn't use it directly. But, for things he's interested in like Minecraft, and/or the local zoo, we

Hi, I have a problem, delivery called from /etc/aliases file by pipe delivers with mode 0600. I need system users with shared mail folders (Maildir format).

Good morning! I run an imap-only Ubuntu 8.04 mail server with dovecot 1.2 and pam_ldap, so all my users are posix users. No virtual user or domain, no sql so far. I am setting up shared folders with "namespace shared". I got no errors upon restarting the service, but I get no shared folders listing. As per the wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared I can use a bdb

Hi there, is it possible in any way to have private seen flags for users in a shared mailbox? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared says no, but i'm not sure, if newer mailbox formats can do this... like mdbox oder something like that. thanks for your help Tobi --
