Alerts and pre-authenticated connections
Greetings -
Work moves onward here at setting up our Dovecot IMAP service and
I've got a couple more questions, I'm afraid... :-}
==============================================
Q1. The UW IMAP Server supports "pre-authenticated connections" --
does Dovecot?
Specifically, it is possible to create a symlink from /etc/rimapd to
the UW IMAP server binary and then use rsh

1.0beta8 won't start: Fatal: Protocol imaps given more than once
Greetings -
I've just built Dovecot 1.0beta8 and find it refuses to start. This under
Solaris 10 on an Intel-based Sun system. The error message Dovecot
displays (on standard error) in response to
/usr/local/sbin/dovecot
is
Fatal: Protocol imaps given more than once
I've checked through my configuration file and the only mention of "imaps"
is here:

Userdb and home directories
Greetings -
I've just discovered an oddity I didn't know I had...
We have two NetApp filers: one serves people's home directories; the
other their message store and control files filestores.
At the moment the first of the two filers is not accessible to my
Dovecot system and I assumed all would be well because, as far as I
knew, I wasn't using it at all.

Dovecot 1.0beta7: STARTTLS/SSL not wanting to start
Greetings -
I have been looking at Dovecot with a view to migrating us to it from the
Washington IMAP server on our Sun systems.
To start our testing we first of all installed the pre-built version of
Dovecot from the Blastwave (www.blastwave.org) community supported packaged
software site.
This was Dovecot 0.99.10.4 and we successfully got it working in our test
environment: at first just

How to upgrade a running Dovecot?
Greetings -
Could someone confirm how to perform various upgrades on a live
system running Dovecot please?
Scenario 1: Change to dovecot.conf
===================================
If I make a change to dovecot.conf am I right in thinking I can
simply send a HUP signal to the main dovecot process to get it to re-
read the configuration file and act on its revised content?

Small problem with src/lib/mountpoint.c [now with patch attached!]

[SIGH: I hit the "Send" button instead of "Attach". Here's Take 2...]
Whilst playing with getting quotas from NFS-mounted filestores I've
just discovered a slight problem with src/lib/mountpoint.c
I had things working on a Solaris 10 test machine which had the
mailstore mounted 'normally' using an entry in /etc/vfstab.

"QUOTA" CAPABILITY keyword advertised incorrectly?
Greetings -
I'm having a frustrating time with mail clients not picking up Dovecot's
QUOTA extension to IMAP.
The problem is that the QUOTA keyword isn't advertised in Dovecot's
response to a CAPABILITY enquiry until *after* the user has authenticated.
Unfortunately I've yet to find a mail client that issues a CAPABILITY
request after authenticating. Instead all do so

Deferring, instead of rejecting, messages when at quota
Greetings -
I'm having trouble working out where to alter this behaviour (so
please forgive me if it turns out to be an Exim thing rather than
Dovecot!)...
My test service is using Exim as the MTA and Dovecot's "deliver" for
the LDA. We are using Maildir mailboxes with filestore quotas.
When I send a large test message to myself that cannot be delivered

"Corrupted index cache file" error (Dovecot 1.0.3)
Greetings -
Now that users are beginning to pile up more on our new Dovecot-based
IMAP service I'm seeing a small number of entries like this in the
logfiles:

Mount options and NFS: just checking...
Greetings -
I'm now in the last couple of weeks before going live with Dovecot
(v1.0.3) on our revamped IMAP service. I'd like to double-check
about the best mount options to use; could someone advise, please?
I have three separate directory trees for the message store, the
control files and the index files. These are arranged as follows:

imaptest10 and stalled messages
Greetings -
I've now got as far as playing with the imaptest10 test utility to
see if I can stress-test our development server. imaptest10 is built
against dovecot-1.0rc28
It may just be that I'm excessively heavy handed, but when I let
imaptest10 rip with the command...

Prayer, Maildir and Folders whose names begin with "."
Greetings -
I think I've just had one of my fears confirmed: not Dovecot-specific
exactly, but it affects how we will use of Prayer (Webmail Software)
with Dovecot...
Currently our production service uses MBX-format mailboxes with the
UW IMAP server; we also use the University of Cambridge "Prayer"
software for Webmail.
By default Prayer saves its preference settings,

OT: Skins for Squirrelmail - looking for a reminder
Greetings -
On one of the mailing lists I'm on there was a recent-ish discussion
about webmail clients, and someone mentioned a site selling sets of
skins for SquirrelMail... the entire set was about $300.
I'm trying to track down the site but seem to have deleted the message
I'd carefully been keeping.
I recall an off-topic discussion along these lines here recently, but

Newbie questions: Load-balanced Dovecot with NFS storage
Hi,
I experimented with Dovecot a while back and our site is now taking
the plunge to switch to it from the UW IMAP server when we rejig the
topology of our mail store and IMAP servers.
Currently we have a farm of 5 IMAP servers running the UW server.
Each has locally attached disk used to store people's mailboxes.
Each user is allocated to one of these five servers and can only

Preparing for sharing with ACLs
Greetings -
I'm finalising the layout of our new mailstore ready for a trial
service using Dovecot (switching from the UW IMAP server). This is
using Maildir mailboxes, changing from our current mix of MBX and
traditional Berkeley.
One of the things we are often asked for is how someone can grant
another access to their mailbox: eg, a Head of Department wants the

Dovecot 1.1.11 failing to accept SSL/TLS connections
Greetings -
We are running Dovecot 1.1.11 on our servers and have been gradually
migrating people off our old (UW-based) systems onto the new (Dovecot-based)
ones. As a result the new systems are seeing more connections from more
people.
We have started seeing problems reported by users of our webmail service
that they are getting an error indicating the webmail software (Prayer) has

What is wrong with my nslcd configuration?
I can't get my domain users presented to my local machine with getent
passwd and the wiki
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Local_user_management_and_authentication/nslcd
doesn't give me any steps troubleshoot this issue. My best guess it that
I configured the user account incorrectly or I configured nslcd
incorrectly. I can't exactly see what is the problem.
