Hello all, I`ve tried to run dovecot many times in my system (Conectiva Linux 9) and was unable to do so. For some reason it gives this message and quits - never runs. My system: Linux ba.gazetaweb.com 2.4.21-28872cl #1 Sex Mar 21 22:02:49 BRT 2003 i686 unknown I`m migrating from UW-IMAPD to dovecot. I've compiled it from sources, using default configurations. Any help would be appreciated thanks, -- .''`. -- Breno Jacinto : :´` : -- breno /at/ freeunix dot com dot br : ' ' : -- 88AE 3F43 7110 57F6 A206 `. `'` -- D116 02CA 02F4 803D 4294 `-- -- Debian GNU/Linux - The Universal OS

[Dovecot] two concurrent dovecots
by Alexey Koptsevich 19 May '06

19 May '06

Hello, Is it safe to have two concurrent dovecot processes to access the same maildir? I have a stock RHEL version (0.99.11) used by users, but I also want to test 1.0-beta together wth postfix for SASL. Is it safe to access the same maildir concurrently with both dovecots (say, the old one via webmail and the new one via remote client)? Thanks, Alex

[Dovecot] Dovecot/LDAP problem
by Burton Simmons 19 May '06

19 May '06

Dear Dovecot mailing list people - What I'm trying to do is use Postfix (with virtual users) and a POP3 server (we don't want IMAP - don't ask) to work against our new Active Directory servers that will be coming soon. Before we roll anything out we're testing it in the lab. Here's what we've got: x86 server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Postfix 2.0.16 Dovecot-1.0 Beta7 Windows 2003 server running Active Directory Windows XP client running Outlook Eventually, we'd like the clients to be joined to the AD domain and that's where we'll store ALL the user information. The email will come in on our postfix server (which uses virtual users) and the clients will check it passing their email username and domain password. The catch is that USERS CAN BE ANYWHERE IN THE DIRECTORY. (I apologize for the caps, I wanted to make sure that phrase wasn't glossed over.) So, for instance: > DC=local | >DC=domain | >OU=group1 | | | > CN=user1 | > CN=user2 | >OU=group2 | | | > CN=user3 | > CN=user4 | >OU=group3 | >CN=user5 The path to user1 is therefore CN=user1,OU=group1,DC=domain,DC=local (at least in the AD world.) The path to user3 is CN=user3,OU=group2,DC=domain,DC=local. So to search for users I would think (because this is how Postfix does it) that I could have the search base as DC=domain,DC=local and then have scope = subtree. IT DOESN'T WORK. (Again, caps used for emphasis only.) Here's the meat of the dovecot-ldap.conf file I'm using: hosts = 192.168.x.x dn = cn=Administrator,cn=Users,DC=domain,DC=local dnpass = xxxxx auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = DC=domain,DC=local scope = subtree user_attrs = sAMAccountName,mail,,,, user_filter = (&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(sAMAccountName=%u)) pass_filter = (&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(sAMAccountName=%u)) user_global_uid = 44 user_global_gid = 44 --- Interestingly, if I simply point the base to the actual user's container, it works just fine. The idea works from Postfix, but from dovecot it doesn't actually seem to search the tree. --- Here's some of the output from the log files. dovecot: May 17 15:35:52 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 lip= 192.168.0.199 rip=192.168.0.195 resp=AGp1c2VyAHBhc3N3b3Jk dovecot: May 17 15:35:52 Info: auth(default): ldap(user1, 192.168.0.195): bind search: base=DC=LAB,DC=local filter=(&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(sAMAccountName=user1)) dovecot: May 17 15:36:52 Info: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: method=PLAIN, rip= 192.168.90.195, lip=192.168.90.199 dovecot: May 17 15:37:52 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 lip=192.168.0.199 rip=192.168.0.195 resp=AGp1c2VyAHBhc3N3b3Jk dovecot: May 17 15:37:52 Info: auth(default): ldap(user1,192.168.0.195): bind search: base=DC=domain,DC=local filter=(&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(sAMAccountName=user1)) dovecot: May 17 15:37:54 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=user1 dovecot: May 17 15:37:54 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=user1 dovecot: May 17 15:37:54 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 1 25233 1 dovecot: May 17 15:37:54 Info: auth(default): ldap(user1,192.168.0.195): base=DC=LAB,DC=local scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(sAMAccountName=user1)) fields=sAMAccountName,mail,,,, dovecot: May 17 15:38:52 Info: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: user=<user1>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.0.195, lip=192.168.0.199 Can anybody offer any insight?

[Dovecot] configure change for 1.0.beta8
by Tomi Vainio 19 May '06

19 May '06

Hi, I'm trying to compile dovecot under Solaris 10 with native Mysql support. Couple changes are needed before configure can detect and compile mysql support. Native Solaris Mysql is installed under /usr/sfw directory. Configure can't find libraries and when these are found -R runtime path is needed for linking. Also if library name is given before library path it can't find it. These changes are needed for configure script line 29533 for i in /usr /usr/local /usr/local/mysql /usr/sfw; do line 29548 LIBS="$LIBS -L$MYSQL_LIBDIR -R$MYSQL_LIBDIR" line 29559 LIBS="$LIBS -lmysqlclient" line 29770 SQL_LIBS="$SQL_LIBS -L$MYSQL_LIBDIR -R$MYSQL_LIBDIR" line 29780 LIBS="$LIBS -lmysqlclient" Tomppa

[Dovecot] Outlook Express / POP Problem?
by Marc Perkel 19 May '06

19 May '06

I have a new user who is using Outlook Express with POP and seems to be having a problem downloading messages with attachments. Watching the logs it starts to download and then disconnects. When I use squirrelmail which is IMAP it all looks good so it's not a corrupt mailbox. I'm running Beta8 and using MBOX files. The problem seems to be related to POP and/or Outlook. Has anyone run into this before?

RE: [Dovecot] Bug: maidirsize double counting moved messages

I don't think this is the correct fix below, but it did the trick in our environment when maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=yes. I think the real problem is that quota_default_alloc() is getting called twice. Once from somewhere in mail_storage_copy() -> maildir_copy() -> mailbox_save_init(), and a second time somewhere after that. src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-copy.c @136 < if (mbox->storage->copy_with_hardlinks/* && < mail->box->storage == mbox->ibox.box.storage*/) { --- > if (mbox->storage->copy_with_hardlinks) {

[Dovecot] Building 1.0beta8 on Solaris
by Matthieu Herrb 18 May '06

18 May '06

The following patch is needed on Solaris, because <sys/stat.h> has a specific macro definition for struct stat. Without this patch the prototype for nfs_safe_stat() changes between the inclusion of nfs-workarounds.h and the definition of the function. -- Matthieu Herrb
