[Dovecot] mail directory error solved!
by Micah Stevens 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hi, I figured out my issue, in my database query for the mail dir, I was grabbing the home column instead of the mail column. Once I changed the name of the column returned it started working. Currently my queries are like such: password_query = SELECT `passwd` FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' and user_query = SELECT concat('/usr/local/virtual/',maildir, '.INBOX') as mail, 101 as uid, 103 as gid FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' My question now is currently I'm saving mail like this: mailroot/domain/user/.INBOX I assume I should be able to save it as: mailroot/domain/user/ the .INBOX is superfluous, is that correct, or will imap want to make directories at the same level at inbox? Thanks, -Micah

Is there a way to increase the log level of the dovecot logs? I'm having a real hard time getting an worthwhile information out of the logs. It would be nice if it would display more of the actions it's taking. Thanks, -Micah

[Dovecot] Success: MySQL Works on 0.99 But Not 1.0alpha
by Tim Schaefer 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Great news! yay! I downshifted to dovecot 0.99-14 and pop server is working! Finally a pop-server and postfix and all! And no Courier! or Qmail! Whatever changed in the 1.0 release regarding MySQL is broken, and is working in the .99-14 release. I can finally use my mail server! :-) I'll keep an eye out for the 1.x stable release, hopefully it will have MySQL support working. Maybe by then I'll be brave enough to get IMAP working and maybe even ( gulp ) LDAP. Good Luck to all of you! Timo go go go ! Tim

[Dovecot] Authenticate user thru PAM
by Adrian Mak 28 Aug '05

28 Aug '05

my mailsystem is using postfix and virtual mailbox which stored in mysql db. SMTP AUTH is using PAM, pam-mysql to authenticate against a mysql db. I installed dovecot 0.99-14. In the dovecot example config file it mentioned that auth_passdb can check against thru PAM but auth_userdb didn't Does it mean that auth_userdb should use other means e.g. /etc/passwd, shadow, vpopmail, etc and in my case it is mysql. Right ?

[Dovecot] Multiple Mail Environments?
by Marc Perkel 28 Aug '05

28 Aug '05

The default_mail_env is very powerful, but .... If you have multiple databases wouldn't it make sense to have a separate mail environment for each database? For example: userdb passwd { default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u } # Linuxconf passwd-like file with specified location userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/vmail/passwd.%d default_mail_env = mbox:/vhome/%d/home/%n:INBOX=/vhome/%d/home/%n/INBOX:INDEX=/nobackup/imap-cache/%d-%n } Is this possible? If not - perhaps it should be? -- Marc Perkel - marc(a)perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com

[Dovecot] Authentication with encrypted passwords
by Sebastjan Trepca 28 Aug '05

28 Aug '05

Hello, I have a postgresql database which contains users that will access dovecot, but their passwords are hashed and I don't have them in plain text. I was reading documentation that you can add tell dovecot which password scheme should it use. For example: password_query = "select '{MD5}'||password from users where userid=%u" Which would mean that dovecot will hash the password with MD5 from client and match it with the one in database. Did I understand this correctly ? Thanks, Sebastjan
