alert function, V2
I guess the alert function is not part of the spec, because it appears to be unimplemented in Dovecot, even though most clients implement it. Timo, I would hope this would be easy to implement, and it's functionality that will be valuable to every installation. Here's why. America recently had the tragedy of a shooting rampage on a large university campus (yes, America should do

Any sense of when V1.1.3 might appear?
It's been a month since 1.1.2....I'm about to do some V1.0 to V1.1 move work and I'd rather start on the curve instead of behind it.......... -- ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resources Center of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504 sdean at bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

Can I install in the following fashion?
<permit me my perhaps foolish preference...an explanation> I run mail service for a small college. I've long joked that if someone stole the mail server, the phone would ring before the alarm (which has a 1 minute delay) did, that the user base expected 25x8x367 coverage. Making updates/upgrades to the mail server feels like a tightrope walk with no net. I always appreciated

apparent bug with filesystem quota and message lists
Don't know if anyone else uses Berkeley derived filesystem quota, but IBM's AIX does. A little over a week after migrating from UWIMAP to DC (with mbox format unchanged) everything is clean except for this one problem: When users go over quota, when they login the next time, the folder list is blank. You can imagine the panicked calls to the Helpdesk. If their quotas are raised or

No authentication sockets found
Thunderbird (2.0) is all of a sudden checking mail server capabilities and keep posting a popup saying: "Mail Server imap.bard.edu is not an IMAP4 mail server". To the best of my knowledge, neither Tbird nor DC have been updated, though the DC imap host was rebooted today 3 hours ago. Any info on what this is about? DC is currently serving out of a special port and in evaluation

AIX mail quota plugin problems
From reading the wiki for a filesystem quota, I took my shot at 1) building my binaries using the mods in AIXPluginsSupport 2) changing dovecot.conf and 3) putting the plugins in the library But I'm getting this error message when I invoke dovecot: Plugin imap_quota not found from directory /usr/local/lib/dovecot Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 It would seem that a) I have

[Fwd: mulitple instance run problem]
As I explained, I want to be able to run a second instance of DC through another port to do testing while not interrupting the users using the primary instance in the the regular port. I was instructed to create a second config file with different listen ports and a separate base_dir. I did so and invoked dc with -c pointing to dovecot2.conf.

Maildir folder hierarchy question
Hello all, I am trying to set up Dovecot to use a particular maildir folder hierarchy and have a problem that relates to the inbox. the folder hierarchy I want in /.../Maildir/ is: .inbox cur new tmp .imap.index.files-for-inbox .sent-items cur new tmp .imap.index.files-for-sent-items however the hierarchy that dovecot gives me is .inbox (unused) .INBOX .imap.index.files-for-.INBOX

Want to have some users with Maildir, some with mbox
Want to have some users with Maildir, some with mbox, as I migrate from mbox format to maildir over the space of a month. After everyone is converted to maildir, I'll change the mail_location in dovecot.conf. During the interim, can I use the Custom mailbox location script (at the bottom of the Mail Location DC Wiki page)? > if [ -d $HOME/.maildir ]; then > export

Understanding migrateuser.sh
I'm sure it comes from my being a gormless idiot, but whatever is the -UKWS argument immediately after the mb2md.pl invocation? > $MB2MD -UKWS -s "$INBOX" -d "$WORKING" As always, reading the idiom of someone else's scripting is an education. And some of it wouldn't work with native AIX sh/ksh, so changed the functions: > folders_hash() { > local

Mails, work and so on
You can probably guess from my flood of mails that I'm no longer busy. I still have a couple of exams but since I haven't spent any time at all studying for them or attending the lectures, I can just as easily leave them for next year. I've read and answered most of the "easy" mails in this list and in my INBOX. I'll try to answer the rest of them this weekend, so no

Help needed: Index filesystem permissions problem after switch to V1.2 and back to V1.1

Does NIS/yp work for authentication
If a host is running NIS (passwd file ends in +::0:0:::) authentication, will dovecot be able to authenticate with auth_userdb = passwd directly and automagically or do you have to do a ypcat passwd > pwfile periodically to generate a passwd file that dovecot can use? ? Thanks! -- ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resources Center of Bard College,

PAM question
I get the errmsg: auth|security:err|error dovecot-auth PAM: load_modules: can not open module /usr/lib/security/pam_prohibit That file is 444 root:security What is wrong here? Also, I'm using plain UINX authentication, but PAM keeps trying to run. How do I turn it off? I'll probably eventually want to use PAM; how do I get it to look in /etc/pam.conf instead /etc/pam.d...or will it

New SSL certificate problem
Our DC has been using a Verisign certificate. Over the past year, we've been using a Digicert Wildcard Plus certificate for almost all of our machines, and I wanted to switched over our DC mailserver. I used the following command to generate the CSR and key: openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -out star_bard_edu.csr -keyout star_bard_edu.key -subj "/C=US/ST=NY/L=ourtown/O=Bard

imap process consuming 100% CPU (Dovecot 1.0.3)

Some people asked me lately about how professional Dovecot is.
I purely love that kind of crap. As if presentations meant anything, as if there aren't all kinds of scholarly work about theoretical perfect world algorithms and conceptual systems that will never be implemented and are as practical and effective as wings on a pig. Please. I'm reminded of the story about how, during the American Civil War, when the North had finally, after years of

Performance question
I now have Dovecot in production and things are apparently trouble-free. The one known problem is that initial client inbox load can take 30 seconds - 2 minutes. For instance: 'I got fed up waiting and went and got coffee'...this with a 3MB mbox inbox...and my mail server is a substantial machine consuming 25% CPU just for this person's IMAP session. I realize that a certain

Index question
The day I switch our user to dovecot and it goes into production, there will be a few thousand people all generating their indices for the first time (we have a legacy requirement for procmail, at least for now), so I wondered: 1) Is there is anyway to pre-emptively force indexing? 2) Is there any value in doing so? That is, will I gain much in terms of making the first time everyone connects

Public kudos to Timo
I'm sitting here working away on various unrelated projects and watching patch after patch after patch flow in from Timo to fix all sorts of problems people are reporting. A coding madman on fire. Thanks Timo, you rock. I appreciate the time you spend on this software, I'm sure everyone else does as well. :) -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com
