Hi, I am working through setting up a virtual hosting system using Dovecot, Postfix and Postgres on a CentOS 5 box running an install of the dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 RPM. The question I have is, given this password_query SELECT clause, which all return valid values from the database: user password domain can I use a %d in the WHERE clause of my user_query? The reason I ask is that the

Hi all, I've installed rc23 in a new testing machine, and i've had some permission problems related to dovecot-master.conf. As I have my master passwords in that file, I don't want it to be world readable. dovecot -n shows that auth_user is nobody, so setting the permissions to nobody.whatever 640 solves the problem. Anyway, I've tried to change the auth_user setting with no

I can set up and access a dovecot pop3 account using outlook express fine. I can telnet into it fine. However, GFI FaxMaker is failing to log in. I assisted a client in switching his web site, including email from one server (FreeBSD) which was using Cyrus to a Redhat 4.0 server using dovecot version 0.99.11 Here's the listing of dovecot -n: dovecot -n Usage: dovecot [-F] [-c <config

Hello list, I'm using Dovecot 1.0.0 on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE and applied the latest MANAGESIEVE patch v3 [1] which seems to have worked smoothly, i.e. all hunks succeeded and no compilation problems. Now this may be stupid question with an obvious answer, but I am at a loss at how to start the daemon? What's the binary called that starts the sieve server? Is there a special way to

Good Day All! I am attempting to configure deliver as our LDA. I am also configuring the server to use Postfix instead of Sendmail. I have followed the all the documentation and examples I could find. Below are my Dovecot and Postfix configs. Can someone please smack me upside the head and tell me why I am getting "user unknown" errors? If i don't use deliver as the LDA, all

Hi all, I have a problem with my dovecot/postfix configuration: here is my dovecot -n # 1.2.16: /etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 128 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 768).

Anybody can help me with this issue. It's the right place to submit thios question, please help me. Actually we have configured a server (postfix,dovecot,mysql) with multiple domains, but the problem resides in that we don't want to login via POP3 using "user at domain" just using "user", because we'll migrate our actual platform (Qmail) to dovecot. Our users are

Hi all, I'm trying to get the sieve plugin to work, but with little result. I'm following http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA, http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix and http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve but it won't work. As I have virtual users from several virtual domains, I added the "virtual users - with lookup" section from http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA, but now dovecot fails

Hi dear All, Currently I'm configuring Dovecot+PostfixAdmin+PostgreSQL on FreeBSD 7 Stable and using Dovecot v1.1.3. I hope I've configured everything.

Hi, Running OS: CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.2.1.el5) 1. My Linux distribution comes with Dovecot 1.0.7. After trying to make it running, I encoutnered many problems. So I decided to upgrade to 1.2.1.

Having tried and failed to get 1.0.8 with quota-rewrite to send warnings, I removed the 1.0.8 and installed the latest 1.1 - however I still can't get the warnings! Can someone advise what might be wrong - it must be my configuration?? To compile 1.1 I used ./configure --with-deliver --with-mysql. I've chopped and changed my conf till I'm blue in the face. My dovecot-mysql.conf file

Hello, I am no programmer at all. I have dovecot set up on two very similar machines. On one of the boxes, the dovecot server has recently been showing slower response times. It feels slower. Where it is slower, dovecot works as an auth server for postfix. I have replaced exim with postfix on that box and I think since then dovecot started to slow down. On the other machine the MTA is exim.
