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, Recently I gzipped mails older than 30 days in our users' maildirs. I used find and gzip. Gzip added 'Z' at the end of the filename and everything seemed to work fine, users did not notice any difference in performance (yet :-), and I saved about 30% of our mail storage space. There seems to be a problem when moving gzipped messages from one folder to another though. Dovecot

Hello, I'm trying to configure the dovecot-antispam plugin. Now I've run into a problem: whenever I try to move/copy a message in/from the spam mailbox, Thunderbird (and also Sylpheed, haven't tried anything else) says: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Failed to read mail beginning. and in the logs I get: dovecot: Aug 07 10:41:23 Error:

Hi all, after inserting another sieve-rule, I get the following backtrace on deliver. The mail gets delivered into the Mailbox, but as deliver does not exit with 0, postfix bounces the mail. The additional rule is the same as all others in my .dovecot-sieve: > require ["fileinto", "include"]; > > if header :contains ["From"]

Hello all, I'm trying to understand when exactly the variable substitution happens in Dovecot, as I get different results in the LDA and in the POP/IMAP server. Here's my general setup: - Postfix MTA, delivers mail via Dovecot LDA - users list sits in a database - mail directory is stored in the database, but with Dovecot variables inside Delivery works perfectly fine,

Hello, We have seen a few of these panics in 1.1.6. It seems to happen when pine is being used and a POP3 check occurs at the same time (but not always), but I'm not positive this is always the case: --- Nov 22 11:10:32 lexiconn2 dovecot: Panic: POP3(techjm): file istream.c: line 76 (i_stream_read): assertion failed: (_stream-> skip != _stream->pos) Nov 22 11:10:32 lexiconn2

I've gone through http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestPop3Installation the program is running, plain works over telnet from local host or from a remote machine. I can do stat and retr commands. however, when I try to use the login method (that is what the command 1 login

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.

Hi, i came across a strange error message in Ubuntu 8.10s package (Dovecot 1.1.4) regarding sieve: sieve runtime error: Keep: Generic Error sieve_execute_bytecode(/etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sievec) failed Note that the Sieve Scripts are basically executed fine and working fine. After a lot of testing I suppose the following: "keep" doesn't detect the private namespace I have to

Greetings * We are having a problem with POP3 quota warnings, and despite we dig into the documentation, mailing list archives, google... we didn't spot any light We are running a self-compiled dovecot 1.1.7.

hi All, I have a srange problem. Before dovecot there was a courier imap and it worked just fine. The client(s) are the same then before, so I think, this is an server side problem. I have a user with Outlook and he uses pop3 and leaves messages on server. Sometimes the messages get downloaded again, when he starts the outlook. Not all, but 7-9 hours back. uidl format is like it's
