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 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:

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

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

Not quite sure where the docs are on Dovecot deliver. Went to the wiki and it left me confused. The docs there definitely need some work. Anyone have some examples to share?

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

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

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

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

unix-odbc with Asterisk Realtime is one good way to use a different backend DB than MySQL. I haven't heard of "bit rot" problems running it over long times, but I'd like to if there are any. I'm particularly interested in seeing reports of Asterisk Realtime backed by Postgres. The problem with pointing dialplan DB functions like Set(DB) at unix-odbc (or any relational

I am setting up dovecot 1.0-rc15 as a proxy. When I try to log in, I get errors such as the following: Dec 4 17:39:23 vega dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc15 starting up Dec 4 17:39:24 vega dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to localhost (ad_mail) Dec 4 17:39:31 vega dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAINservice=POP3 lip=xx.xx.xx.xx rip=xx.xx.xx.xx

After experiencing these symptoms through many of the release candidates, we've been at v1.0.0 now for a few weeks, and they're still there. Perhaps a config issue with my setup (mbox locks?). It's really too disrupting to continue using this way. I've included symptoms, client info, mta info, log entries and config file. What other information can I provide? Please

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

Have been looking into using rails but am finding the "Composite Primary Keys are Bad" thing a tad disturbing (to put it mildly). I have been working with RDBMS systems for over fifteen years and this is the first time I have herd the idea questioned. I have cone across using surrogate keys which mirror the composite key for performance reasons in VERY big databases but I have never

Hello, I have trouble using read.table for flat files of larger than about 300MB on windows 2000. Any ideas of how to file a bug report? Is it a known issue? I have three cuts of data, a 1%, 10% and 100% sample in flat text files. The 100% sample is about 350MB. When I read the 1% and 10% files, besides being slow, everything works. RAM footprint appears to increase approximately 2x of text
