similar to: help using sendmail LDA

Hi, I have a Centos 5 system with sendmail running as my MTA. Normally I note from sendmail logs that mails get delivered using the 'local' mailer. I have therefore entered the following into my sendmail.mc file, from an earlier post on this list: define(`LOCAL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver') define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS',`DFMPhfnu9')

Hello, I'm trying to set up, as explained in the wiki, shared mailboxes with symlink. I'm running dovecot-1.1.8 with LDAP pass/userdb. The Maildir layout goes like this : /courriel/boites/foobar : Maildir of user foobar (nfs) /courriel/meta/foobar : control files of user foobar (nfs) /var/dovecot/indexes : indexes (locally stored) I created : /courriel/boites/doveshared/.box/ :

Sorry, couldn't find this in the archives. Under freebsd 4.x, the native mail.local that sendmail uses by default writes From_ lines that include the origin address. This is very readily parsable and handy for quick greps in mboxes. But deliver defaults it to MAILER-DAEMON. I see you can specify the envelope From_ with "-f", but I'm not sure how that's useful. Also

A summary of answers I got to the questiosn I posed. > Is there a reason I should prefer LMTP over LDA for local delivery? Thanks for the responses I received. The benefits reported were more/better information logging, and service isolation. Also, one significant advantage not mentioned for LMTP was that one delivery failure to multiple recipients can be disambiguated; LDA can only return

I'm trying to get Dovecot working with Virtual Users and Sendmail on OpenIndiana 151a7. OpenIndiana is the Open Source continuation of OpenSolaris after Oracle tried to kill it off a couple of years ago shortly after acquiring Sun Microsystems. I'm not sure if this is so much a Dovecot problem, as much of a Sendmail problem. I thought this would probably be a better list to start with,

Hello Timo, In my trials to setup a shared namespace with dovecot-1.1.8/LDAP passdb/userdb (prefetch)/Maildir, I found out that : 1) ACL are mandatory (at least if the acl plugin is triggered in dovecot.conf) Am I correct ? I'm still not sure if we can do without ACL at all (only with unix permissions and system_user userdb extra field). 2) the system_user userdb extra field is

Hi, all. I use dovecot-1.1.11 with OpenLDAP backend. but i found the mail_location is not correct. How can i override mail_location setting in dovecot.conf? LDAP user data and dovecot config are attached below. in dovecot config, mail_location is: ---- mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/%Ld/%Ln/:INDEX=/%Lh/%Ld/%Ln/ ---- but the correct maildir should be 'homeDirectory' +

The Dovecot version is 1.2.8 and i am using an LDAP for a user database. The problem is following... i would like to use a quota dictionary backend from file rather than sql proxy for some reasons. Is it possible to get the full path for dovecot-quota file location from LDAP like from mail variable (/mailboxes/storage_01/domain.org/u/us/use/user/dbox/dovecot-quota)? /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf

Hi, I'm using Dovecot with LDAP. My users have an home directory and a field named 'mailMessageStore'. Then the full mailbox path is 'homeDirectory/mailMessageStore' In dovecot-ldap.conf i configured as follows : user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(cn=%u)) user_attrs = qmailUID=uid,qmailGID=gid,homeDirectory=home,mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:~/%$ Everything is

I'm using dovecot RC6. I have a group named "cmpymail" with 2 users "jdoe at arinbe.com" and "jsmith at arinbe.com". I set up a mail folders like: drwxrwx--- 4 cmpymail cmpymail 4096 2006-08-13 02:21 cmpymail drwxrwx--- 3 jdoe users 4096 2005-11-21 13:34 jdoe drwxrwx--- 3 jsmith users 4096 2006-08-13 02:27 jsmith drwxrwx--- 3 fred users

I?m considering moving from maildir to mdbox, but don?t quite see how I should do the conversion with minimal downtime. Our userdb is ldap, and the we use this setting to point to the users maildirectory: user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:%$:INDEX=/indexes/%1u/%1.1u/%u,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ i.e. every user has a "mailMessageStore" attribute in LDAP that points to

Hello, Hopefully I'm in the right place asking for help :-) I need to move from an old physical Suse 8.2 - samba 2.2.7 + ldap - to latest samba versions, I would like to use an ubuntu 8.04 virtual machine. The domain is in production on the physical server, to be dismissed after migration. It is also the file server!!! so /DATA/ has all shared and permission driven file access.. I was

Hi, all. I have OpenLDAP(+qmail.schema), Dovecot, Postfix installed on RHEL 5.1 (x86_64), and they works fine with mbox format. The problem is if i set 'mailQuota=0' in LDAP, postfix can't send mail to recipient user. But it works fine with 'mailQuota != 0', such as '10240'(10M). What's wrong with my mail server setting? How can i solved this issue? Thanks very

Hallo, I am playing arround with dovecot I hat version 1.0.beta7 running fine. After installing beta9 there is a problem with default_mail_env setting. I have all users in ldap. there is an attribute "mailMessageStore" which contains a relative path to users maildir mailMessageStore: sca/ my mailer completes this relative pathinformation to /var/mail/sca/ therefor I setup

Hi, We get user's quota limit from LDAP. ?It works fine when user has quota attribute in LDAP (this is when it's different from default quota). But when user doesn't have quota limit attribute Dovecot doesn't take default value defined in quota plugin and assign unlimit quota to user. Our configuration is similar to the example from wiki (

Hi, I would like to try implementing user specific default_mail_env's as described here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/MailLocation using the LDAP attribute 'mailLocation'. However, I have been unable to find any LDAP schema which contains mailLocation. What schema is this attribute part of? Thanks, Jason Pepas

Hi, I'm running a postfix/dovecot/ldap setup and it works quite fine. I am now trying to setup a global sieve script to forward all incoming mails to a local user for vacation management (gnarwl). I can't user the vacation extension of the sieve script itself because it is not configurable enough (each user has his vacation message and status stored in LDAP). The problem is that when

Helo all, I'm trying to use Dovecot v1.1.beta13 lda with ldap. I made a tons of change in configurations but still can't set quota from ldap. See below: Log: Jan 16 17:37:09 mailserver-03 dovecot: auth(default): userdb(teste at xxx.com.br,127.0.0.1): Invalid GID value '*:bytes=1033' dovecot-ldap.conf: user_attrs =

Hello, let me re-state, hopefully in clearer terms, what I tried to described in a previous thread : With dovecot-1.1.8/Maildir/LDAP pass/userdb (prefetch), I'm trying to set up a Maildir ".box" shared in rw between 2 users in a "Public" namespace. I can't get it to work unless I chmod 777 everything, which obiously is not what I want. 1) am I correct thinking that

Hi there, I'm trying to let dovecot generate the userhome directory dynamicly via user_attr. If "uid" is returned from LDAP before "mail" everything is fine, but if "mail" is delivered before "uid" the localpart of the mailaddress is used in home path. e.g.: Mail: testuser at domain.de UID : test123 sometimes home is /mail/store/testuser and
