I was trying to run two instances of dovecot on the same machine, each listening on a single IP. The problem I ran into was that each time one was started or restarted, the other stopped responding. I saw the following in the logs: Mar 23 00:02:27 sentinel dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc27 starting up Mar 23 00:02:27 sentinel dovecot: Socket already exists: /var/run/dovecot/dict-server After I saw

I'm the beginner for IMAP/POP3 servers. I'm starting to use Dovecot. But I'm confusing between Courier-IMAP and Dovecot. Anyone tell me some quick tips regarding this issue. What's the better and what's the worst thing comparing these two IMAP/POP3 servers? I think the Dovecot is good enough for security and performance issue over Courier. Is it right? And how about the feature

Hi! As a new user, I'm trying to set up a postfix + dovecot combination, and so far all is running smoothly. I'm using the guidelines that came with postfix and adjusting them as I go. My user and alias database is stored in MySQL, using the scheme from 'PostfixAdmin' (http://high5.net/page9.html) and I am using the dovecot LDA 'deliver' to drop messages into mailboxes

I'm currently setting up a large mail system, with different services split out onto different machines. What I want is this: machine1: dovecot smtp auth, no pop/imap machine2: dovecot lda, no pop/imap machine3: pop/imap, nothing else machine3 is obviously not the issue. Is there a way to run machine1 and machine2 with just their respective services, but no pop/imap? -- Marshal Newrock

I've finally upgraded to 1.0.rc21. If I run "dovecot --log-error", then dovecot fails to start. The following appears in the log: Feb 5 10:54:00 taurus1 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc21 starting up Feb 5 10:54:00 taurus1 dovecot: This is Dovecot's error log Without --log-error, it will start up fine from command-line. Dovecot still fails to start, as near as I can tell, in the

I'm having trouble getting the quota plugin to work with deliver. The quota in the database is not getting set. I am using dovecot-1.0-rc15. This server is not yet in production. Some values below are because I'm trying to test with the simplest possible case, and some because it's reading from a different database. Also, I noticed that "dovecot -n" doesn't display any

Hi there, I'm building a mail system for an ISP. We want to be able to turn on or off IMAP or POP3 access for certain customers- basically we want to be able to offer a customer POP3 access, unless they pay us some more money, in which case they get IMAP The username and password will remain the same, and are driven out of a postgres database. The best way I've though of doing this

Hi all, I recently installed Dovecot rc22 from the FreeBSD ports and I have some problem with the dovecot startup: - If I start dovecot manually, it works fine, it starts and I get messages in /var/log/maillog - If I reboot the machine, that's where the problem appears, dovecot doesn't seem to start and I get nothing, no errors in /var/log/maillog Any idea if this is a known

I guess Dovecot has an LDA called deliver. What is it and how do I use it? Or is it ready to be used. can't find any docs on it. -- Marc Perkel - marc at perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com

Is a RDBMS required for Dovecot to run in small (SOHO) environments? (Does it store indexes to the mail, etc.?) Or is it strictly leveraged for larger-scale environments? I'm asking, because the INSTALL says ./configure and make is enough for most...but as my previous post requested...there isn't anywhere that lists Required Packages/Software. We need to get that out there before 1.0RC

I need some help. I have compiled dovecot (1.0-rc15) with --with-mysql option, when I execute the binary with --build-options I get this: Build options: ioloop=poll notify=dnotify ipv6 openssl SQL drivers: Passdb: checkpassword passwd passwd-file shadow Userdb: checkpassword passwd prefetch passwd-file static In this case, when I execute dovecot I get this error: dovecot: Jan 03 03:48:47 Error:

I'm trying to setup a system with ldap+postfix+dovecot. Everyone who gets an email is stored in LDAP, some of these users also have a local unix account, regardless I want all users to be dealt with as virtual users. All the mail is stored by postfix in /var/spool/mail in Maildir format with permissions 600 vmail:vmail. Everything works fine when dovecot tries to read the mail of a completely

We have dovecot on a pop/imap server working as a proxy to dovecot on the backend storage servers. This is working fine, but the difficulty is that if I use, for example, avelsieve in squirrelmail, it doesn't know where to connect. I imagine the same problem would exist with sieve-capable mail clients such as KMail, especially since the outside world isn't allowed to connect directly to

(Using dovecot 1.0 RC7 on Fedora Core 5) <scene set> Hitherto we have used UW-IMAP on a "farm" of Linux machines mounting NFS from a NetApp. (The UW-IMAP author doesn't like use of NFS, but with careful use of NFS mount arguments ('noac,actimeo=0' etc.) and trying to ensure that all activity for a given user takes place within one machine in the farm, we seem to

I am setting up dovecot 1.0-rc15 as a proxy.

Using dovecot-1.0-rc19 (quotas are working good, btw) on Gentoo, I have a strange problem. On boot, dovecot doesn't start, the init script just times out. From the command line, it starts instantly without problem. Also, using a program called 'monit' to make sure processes stay running and restart them if they stop, if I manually stop dovecot, it is then unable to start it (calling

Using the dict quota with dovecot-1.0.rc21, quota reporting was incorrect. It wasn't just that the stored quota was different than the disk usage, but also that each time the quota was checked, it was greater than before, even if no mail was received. I tested this by using telnet to log into an imap account, and issuing multiple "getquotaroot inbox" commands. I have changed to
