IMAP-Proxy and LDAP?
I am doing some research on Dovecots IMAP-Proxy features mentioned in <http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/ImapProxy> and <http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy>. The docs only mention SQL as backend to hold required data. Is it also possible to use LDAP? TIA, p at rick -- state of mind Agentur f?r Kommunikation, Design und Softwareentwicklung Patrick Koetter

Postfix, mailbox_command, Dovecot deliver, LDAP and mail_location
I am trying to tell Dovecot deliver to use $mail_location as the location to store mail for system users. From the docs I've read <http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation> I believe this is possible, but mail to my system users always gets delivered to their /home/<USERNAME> homedirectory. Here's what I've done so far: # Postfix main.cf mailbox_command =

Setting individual SSL/TLS settings with OpenLDAP
I am using OpenLDAP to read Dovecot User settings and want to use TLS for user_attrs and pass_attrs queries. So I set "tls = yes" and it kept failing until I told the OpenLDAP ldap client in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf where the CA certificate can be found. So far so good. Now just in case... could I tell dovecot to read the OpenLDAP client settings from a non default configuration file e.g.

Unsuccessful POP sessions on dovecot-1.0.3-13_60
A Client runs a RAS network. Users access mailboxes using Outlook Express. The server runs dovecot-1.0.3-13_60. Almost a week ago users began to report that they can't retrieve their mail. The session starts, they seem to retrieve messages, but then the client reports a problem and the session is terminated. Here's what I have in the log: May 28 08:56:46 server dovecot: pop3-login:

Calculate Index size for harddisk sizing
I need to get a hand on the 'usual size of an index' to do some hard disk sizing. Is that possible at all? I know their size depends a lot on what the clients index. Those clients will mostly be Outlook and Thunderbird and they will be doing more POP than IMAP if that helps to bring it down to some estimation. TIA, p at rick -- state of mind Agentur f?r Kommunikation, Design und

Out of the box: Thank you!
I've just enabled IMAP quota support on a LDAP userbase in about an hour. In this hour I read the Dovecot documentation on quota support, extended the customers LDAP schema, added a "mailQuota"-attribute and a value to all users, enabled the plugin in dovecot.conf, added the attribute query in dovecot-ldap.conf, reloaded the system and tested the functionality and ... everything

Konica Printer: Scan to File (Samba SMB share) fails
I am trying to let a Konica-Minolta Copy-Scanner-Printer store scanned stuff to a file. It works at once, if I let it send the file to a SMB share provided by a W2K workstation that is part of a (Samba) domain. It doesn't work, if I want it to store the messages on a share provided by the Samba server. So far I have verified that the user the scanner runs under is allowed to mount the share

RHEL 5.1 beta, Dovecot 1.0.3: error while loading shared libraries?
Hello, I try to run dovecot 1.0.3 on RHEL 5.1 beta. As soon as I start it I get the following output and it's impossible to IMAP-log in over network. I've been following the list for a while and it seems to ring a bell about setting the correct ulimit, but I can't find the thread anymore, so I need to ask. :( Here's the debug output I've put together. I've been not able

PDC announces two netbios names?
I've configured a Samba server based on Ubuntu packages. It uses LDAP as backend. The server announces itself using two netbios (?) names - OFFICE and SERVER. Originally I had planned to use OFFICE. Then I switched to SERVER. I've looked at the config files and search for any occurences of OFFICE, but I can't find any. Any ideas where I should look or what I should do? Thanks,

What's the best way to authenticate against Active Directory?
Hi all, I'm working on a replacement for a legacy linux mail server: courier POP/IMAP, Postfix, OpenLDAP. One of the requirements of the new mail server is to authenticate against our AD infrastructure (I'll still keep a userdb in OpenLDAP). SSO is not required since most of the clients don't log into our domain. The current system has about 1,000 concurrent users on it during

proxy configuration
Before I spend some time experimenting with what might be impossible, maybe someone can just tell me (either "how" or that it's impossible). I'd like to get perdition out of my environment (mainly to have one less moving part in my architecture). I'm looking at dovecot's built-in proxying. In my setup, I don't have dedicated front-end machines. A user can connect

In-site migration from /etc/passwd to LDAP
I'm doing in-site migration of accounts from /etc/passwd to an LDAP directory. The migration should be progressive (not all users at the same time). I'm already able to check mail for accounts in /etc/passwd and accounts in LDAP. The problem is with mail delivery. I'm using Postfix + Dovecot-LDA. This is the error I get with every delivery -- dovecot: Oct 03 00:16:09 Info:

CRAM-MD5 Password Generation Algorithm
Hi, I'm just in the middle of setting up dovecot to serve IMAPS -- Actually I've finished apart from one thing: CRAM-MD5 passwords. I'm using SQL as a backend for the password storage, and I don't want to store the passwords in plaintext. I've also configured dovecot to be rather restrictive when it comes to authentication methods (only CRAM-MD5 is allowed). To generate the

Bash script to mark all mail read in Maildir + Dovecot
Hi, I'm writing a script to mark all new mail read, including all mail in folders, for my system which uses Maildir and Dovecot. The reason for this script is that I use Google Mail at work, which forwards to my SMTP/IMAP system at home. When I've finished my last check of GMail at work, I want to be able to quickly mark all mail as read at home too. Basically this script moves

Multiple mailboxes per user
My users currently have mail delivered to mulitple MailDir locations via procmail. ~/mail/inbox/ ~/mail/graph/ ~/mail/spam/ I would like all these mailboxes to be exported via dovecot IMAP and appear as folders. However, I can't anything beyond the INBOX working. My approach is via 'namespaces'. My config file is changed thusly: $ sudo dovecot -n # 1.0.15:

Improvements to "Authentication failed" error
Probably one of the most commonly asked question is "Why does Dovecot just say authentication failed"? It would be nice to be able to get rid of these questions by having Dovecot itself point out the http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork link. But how to do this? There are two groups of people here: 1) People who look at logs after seeing the "Authentication failed" from a

OT: Looking for a robust IMAP client
This weekend we had a runaway email endless loop. When it was killed after 18 hours, my inbox had 135,000 messages in it...there were two messages that were being endlessly sent and bounced and I'm on the postmaster alias. Thunderbird was able to do a mass select of one of the two messages, and deleted 65,000, but after that it locked up. I ended up firing up Pine to do the final

dovecot-auth: Too many open files
All, [version: dovecot-0.99.11-4.EL4.src.rpm] We recently experienced an issue that prevented all new IMAP logins from occurring. Although it appears that it was due to running out of available system file descriptors, I'm still not sure what the true root cause was as I can't replicate the same error in our test environment. The system file descriptor max was set at (per `cat
