by Alex 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

Hello, I tried the v1.0 test of dovecot, because it should make the directories for me. I configured it and installed it. The old one is still there, but I shut it down to test the other version. When I start the new v1.0 test of dovecot i get the following message in my log: Jun 6 13:33:08 APOLLO dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-test72 starting up Jun 6 13:33:09 APOLLO dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down Jun 6 13:33:09 APOLLO dovecot: auth(default): dovecot-auth: Fatal: USERDB environment is unset Jun 6 13:33:09 APOLLO dovecot: child 18610 (auth) returned error 89 What does that mean? How can I set this? Thanks in advance, Greetings, Alex

[Dovecot] blank line at the top of mbox
by Chris Barnes 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

On Sat, Mar 13, 2004, somone posted a note which read: It seems dovecop pop3 server sometimes inserts a blank line at the top of the mbox. It only happens for certain users not all. I'm not sure why it's doing that. Looking back into the mailing list, I saw the same post in Oct 6, 2003 but there was no reply to it. Is there a patch or fix that i can use to get around the blank line? I did not see any replies to this post. I am having the same issue... + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Chris Barnes AOL IM: CNBarnes chris(a)txbarnes.com (also MSN IM) Yahoo IM: chrisnbarnes

[Dovecot] maildirmake
by Renzetti Federico 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

It is possibile to call maildirmake at login-time? My final goal is to create maildir at login time (like courier-imapd) or at least to create .INBOX.Trash, .INBOX.Drafts, .INBOX.Sent dir for virtual user /home/vmail/domains/$virtual_domain/$virtual_user/ .... with already exsistant Maildir (created by postfix) Thanks in advance

[Dovecot] map-login: Login failed: Plaintext
by Nmap 08 Jun '05

Hi I'm running Dovecot 1.0 stable and getting error like this: dovecot: Jun 07 11:51:00 Info: Dovecot v1.0-stable starting up dovecot: Jun 07 11:51:01 Info: auth(default): mysql: Connected to postfix Dovecot: Jun 07 11:47:34 Info: imap-login: Login failed: Plaintext authentication disabled [85.76.231.143] dovecot.conf Authentication processes section looks like: auth default { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 passdb = sql /usr/local/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf userdb = sql /usr/local/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf and the dovecot-mysql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=postfix user=koira password=secret default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5 <and then the querys> I also tried default_pass_scheme = PLAIN and same error occurred.. I'm confused because earlier versions of dovecot has worked so well and smoothly. I've read some dovecot wiki pages and also dovecot-1.0-stable/doc/dovecot-sql.conf files etc. and noticed that the authenticatin has changed... but still getting that error :/ Anybody have any clue? ----------------------------------------------------------------- City.fi:n huippusuosittu kulttipalvelu nyt myös matkapuhelimeesi.

[Dovecot] Shared maildir problem: IMAP list archives
by Gergely Kis 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hello, I try to create IMAP archives for our mailing lists (runned by mailman). I run dovecot 1.0-stable from a recent CVS checkout. The obvious version with mboxes works without problems. However, when I try to use maildir storage I run into the following problem: -a message is sent to the list -mailman calls the external archiver (maildrop) which delivers the mail to a normal mbox (for cross-check) and a maildir. -in the client (Outlook 2003) the mail in the mbox shows up immediately. However the mail in the maildir only shows up in the client after an indefinite time (2 minutes, 10 minutes...etc.). As the thing works with mbox I would rule out Outlook IMAP as a problem. Is there anything I could try to set in the dovecot configuration? I already did the following adjustments: -enabled outlook workaround -changed mail_check_idle_interval to 1 Do you have any idea what could be the problem? Should I start debugging the code, or am I just missing something? Thanks, Gergely PS: I would like to use maildir because it is much easier to backup. Mboxes are a pain in the ass in this respect. The only backup solution I could find was rdiff-backup, which doesn't integrate well with ordinary backup solutions like Bacula.

Hi! I need use dovecot on 3 servers. Home directory and mail spool shared over NFS in pop3/pop3s only mode (no imap). What details for dovecot config need set? When I try 2-servers config, some time I get in log: Jun 7 04:31:01 cluster2 pop3(andy(a)atomail.com): IndexID mismatch for binary tree file /home/plasma/andy(a)atomail.com/mail//.imap/INBOX/.imap.index.tree But mail client not show any errors. And some time I get dup messages from other server (I keep messages on server). Thanks! -- Best regards, Andrew Velikoredchanin
