Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.0-alpha5 as POP3 server with MySQL DB of users. Sometimes clients get an authentication errors.

Hello, I've compiled nightly CVS snapshot and set it up to work with MySQL database: [...] auth default { mechanisms = plain user = root passdb sql { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/sql.conf } } sql.conf contains next line: connect = host=localhost

Hello, I'm using dovecot not for a long time but I've newer seen most powerful and handy POP3/IMAP server. Thank Timo for dovecot; thank community for help! I would like to notice that %n is case-sensitive: it always stores user part of login without case conversions. As a result there are some inconveniences with virtual user organization, for example: password_query = SELECT

Hi, How often does mantainer update dovecot in FreeBSD ports tree? It would be a good thing to get 1.0beta3 in ports... -- Kind Regards, Alexander Shikoff minotaur at crete.org.ua

Hello, I migrate from cucipop to dovecot. Thus I move users' mailboxes (mbox format) to another location. Some POP3 client (for example Outlook or TheBat!) use flag 'Do not delete messages from server'. After the user's mailbox have been moved to a new location all old messages is retrieved again and user get duplicates. Is there a way to avoid such issue? Thanks a lot! --

I upgraded dovecot from 0.99.20050712-2 to 1.0.alpha3-1 (Debian testing). In /etc/dovecot.conf I had: passdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.passwd I modified dovecot.conf from 1.0alpha3 to have: passdb passwd-file { # Path for passwd-file args = /etc/imap.passwd } Is that correct? Authentication no longer works, and /var/log/mail.info shows: Oct 7 22:35:39 XXX dovecot:

It took me 4 days to figure this out and I sure hope someone can help me solve it. My Setup: Postfix + MySQL + dovecot dovecot.conf: default_mail_env = maildir:/var/spool/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username='%u' user_query = SELECT maildir, 108 AS uid, 108 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username='%u' The virtual host schema is

Hi all, I think I may be doing something wrong but, is it possible to proxy POP and IMAP users when using a checkpassword script as the passdb? I'm trying to write a perl script to handle authentication to a mix of SQL and POP3 sources whilst logging user passwords at the same time for a migration. At the moment, I'm trying to set environment variables to tell dovecot what to do:

I'm interested in using authentication via a UNIX socket as documented at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/Dict. (We are currently using a checkpassword script to enable us to authenticate against a django app that stores passwords in pbkdf2 format, but I'm concerned about scalability as we grow - specifically the comment about performance on

Hello Everyone, I am playing with the $subject matter using 1.0alpha4, and thanks to the archives, I lifted this one from Alexander Shikoff off and used it in my setup. auth default { mechanisms = plain user = root passdb pam { args = pop3 } passdb sql { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf }

I'm in a fairly standard cluster environment: shared storage, bunch of servers each acting as both proxies and backends. We do /bin/checkpassword authentication, allowing a great deal of flexibility...protection against brute force, billing mechanisms, but relevant to this issue, I have it set up to allow users to login with either their username (if they are in one of our default

I'm a database noob, and it really seems like it would be overkill for my setup: I just want to proxy all connections from my DMZ to my internal mail server -- same internal server for all users. I used to use perdition for this set up, but am having issues getting it to play nicely with my new servers. Can I bypass all of the SQL stuff and just have dovecot forward all POP/IMAP
