Hi all, I have some IMAP servers fronted with separate perdition processes, and it would be ideal if I could collapse this down to having dovecot do both the IMAP proxying and the IMAP serving at the same time on the same IP addresses. One of the fields in my LDAP entries contains the canonical name of the server that hosts their mailbox, and if I follow the manual at

Hi all, While trying to mirror a filesystem from one machine to another (for backup purposes) I get the following error: [root@samantha root]# /usr/bin/rsync -qavxzC --delete chandler:/var/ /bigdisk/backup/chandler/dev-md5-var/ root@chandler's password: rsync error: unexplained error (code 24) at main.c(1045) Does this mean anything to anybody?

Hi all I have dovecot-lda set up to run as vmail:vmail, with some sieve scripts in /var/lib/dovecot/sieve. The sieve scripts fail to be found with the following (detailed and very helpful) error message: Oct 14 16:13:33 gatekeeper dovecot[8109]: lda(minfrin at example.com)<8109><ZJ9nMo0Hh1+tHwAAKdTwig>: Error: sieve: file storage: Failed to stat sieve storage path:

Hi all, I have a legacy system that uses gnarwl to handle vacation messages, most specifically the vacation messages are stored in LDAP. We have a web based tool that allows people to update their vacation message, all they?re doing is modifying LDAP. I am trying to find out if dovecot?s vacation sieve can do the same thing. I am struggling however to find something that describes to me how

Hi all, I want to enable trace debugging for sieve. Most specifically, I want to know what sieve scripts are running, and whether they?re doing anything. I cannot get anything other than dead silence from dovecot with respect to sieve. I have tried the same as asked in this question: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/550618/dovecot-sieve-trace-does-not-create-a-log In my case, the

Hi all, When configuring Samba against an LDAP server, it is possible to configure an SSL connection by using "ldap ssl = on" in the smb.conf file. Is there a way of telling Samba's LDAP code to ensure that the certificate presented by the LDAP server is signed by a specific CA? Regards, Graham --

For your situation I think you should use both --fake-super and -M--super because reading the manual it says: "For a local copy, this option affects both the source and the destination. If you wish a local copy to enable this option just for the destination files, specify -M--fake-super. If you wish a local copy to enable this option just for the source files, combine --fake-super with

Hi all, In an attempt to get the old v2.2 Samba behaviour to work, I tried to enable the ldapsam_compat mode in passwd backend. Win2k cannot connect, username and password not accepted. The LDAP logs reveal that Samba is trying to make the following search: (&(&(uid=minfrin)(objectClass=sambaSamAccount))(objectClass=sambaAccount)) This search returns users who have both the old v2.2

Hi all, According to the docs at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve, some extensions are not available by default. The docs tell me the sieve_plugins, sieve_extensions and/or sieve_global_extensions configs are involved, but I can find no authoritative documentation as to what the values should be. What values must I use to make ?vnd.dovecot.environment? available? Adding

Hi all, I am using a samba WINS server for my Microsoft network that is split across 5 physical networks. For a long time, everything has worked fine, however recently we have had wierd problems with domain controllers "disappearing". Even with a primary or backup DC on the physical wire, workstations and other NT servers suddenly start complaining "a domain controller for DOMAIN

Hi all, I have been trying to investigate traffic shaping in an effort to solve the "unfriendly network apps" problem on a test network. I have a basis by which I''d like to shape traffic, but studying the howto doesn''t uncover and existing qdisc that seems to fit what I would like to do. The problem I would like to address is to prevent an IP address opening 10

Hi all, Another thing I've found is that my backups have lost their permissions. I misunderstood the --chmod option, thinking that it specified the permissions at the destination. What actually happens is that it overrides the source permissions, and has a side effect of the destination permissions being the same as the source. It looks like it works, when metadata is lost. I now need to

Hi all, I have a dovecot v2.2.7 installation, and I would like dovecot to autocreate the Maildir mailbox when those mailboxes don't exist.

As soon as I create the Maildir manually with maildirmake fetching mail starts working fine, so all of the messages about the
