[Dovecot] can't get md5 stored passwords to work
by Benjamin Engle 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

In my mysql database everyone has plain passwords. I set the password don my account to {PLAIN-MD5}md5sum but when I go to login it wont let me. But I can log in with "{PLAIN-MD5}md5sum" it's like it ignores the whole {scheme} thing. So I changed my dovecot-mysql.conf to: default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5 In the password field for my username I just used the md5sum. I stopped dovecot and killed all remaining processes and then started it. But it doesn't try to do md5 it is still doing plain text. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I looked and there are no compile time options that I need for this to work... Dovecot Version 0.99.13

[Dovecot] dovecot.conf %d problem
by Martins 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hello, I have got a problem ir dovecod.conf. I would like to use %d in default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u/Maildir but %d seems to be empty. I need it for Postfix virtual domains. If I use default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/DOMAIN.ORG/%u/Maildir mail folders could be accessed. I wonder, where Postfix virtual domains need to be passed to Dovecot? more config info: auth_userdb = static uid=100 gid=100 home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/pass Thanks in advance, M.

[Dovecot] SSL Certificate Chain Support
by Matthew P. Cox 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

Greetings. I was wondering if there were any plans to add support for an SSL certificate chain file? This is useful to provide a valid certificate chain for lower cost signing authorities. I'm afraid that I'm not 100% positive of the implementation requirements. Although it does seem that OpenSSL supports this concept. I am aware that Apache HTTPD (via mod_ssl) and Courier-IMAP offer support for this feature. Here's a link to information from the Apache HTTPD manual: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslcertificatechainfile Thank you for the continued development of a great project. Matt

[Dovecot] Crash and Assertion Error
by Todd Burroughs 04 Jun '05

04 Jun '05

I've attached two backtraces, one from a segfault and another from an assertion error in imap. I've seen a couple of the same assertion and this is the only segfault. It looks like they could be related. They both have to do with indexing anyway... The code is from CVS as of May 30. The segfault happened while imap was doing searches for my pine filters. I've also noticed that in pine, if I expunge a lot of mail that is spaced out through my mbox, it usually gets the headers mixed up. What I mean is that I will open one email and get the body from another. Just mentioning this in case it has some bearing. I'll be trying some things out to see if I can figure out why this happens. Can't think of any more useful info, I need sleep. Todd

[Dovecot] 1.0-test72
by Timo Sirainen 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

http://dovecot.org/test/ I'm not sure if this was test71-specific or if it also happened with test70, but anyway IMAP process was hanging in some situations (I think POP3 hang was fixed though? :). So, fixed that.

[Dovecot] Virtual users with sendmail ...
by Jordan Hayes 31 May '05

31 May '05

A quick search of the Wiki for the term "sendmail" reveals zero hits. Are all Dovecot users just sufficiently enlightened that they don't use sendmail? :-) Anyone have any tips (other than to not use it)? Thanks, /jordan

[Dovecot] Script to convert mboxes to maildirs?
by Mark Winslow 31 May '05

31 May '05

Does anybody know of a script of a simple method of converting mbox mail stores to maildirs? I'm moving from an old pop3 system to imap and after installing about half our office with mboxes have found that mbox does not support subfolders which some people like to use. Is there any simple way of converting? I can go to each individual account and "manually" convert swaping data around with Firefox, but I was wondering if there was an easier way.
