[Dovecot] user database clarification
by Jared 22 Aug '03

22 Aug '03

Hi, this question gets back to a thread I started back on July 8th. (gosh how time flies) I still am not clear on why PAM is not supported for the user database. I'm in an environment that has users both in local flat files (/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow) AND in an LDAP database. Is it possible for this set up to work with dovecot? (both local and ldap users have imap/pop?) I'd prefer to just have Dovecot use PAM for user db and the password database so that I can configure PAM to try both local users and LDAP users. Thanks a lot. -jared

[Dovecot] rawlog change suggestion
by Charlie Brady 21 Aug '03

21 Aug '03

I find the separate .in and .out files rather difficult to work with. I think it would be more useful if the in/out traffic were interleaved with a prefix to indicate direction, and suffix to indicate continuation, as recordio (http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/recordio.html) does: <a0002 LIST "" "" >* LIST (\Noselect) ";" "" >a0002 OK List completed. <a0003 SELECT "INBOX" >* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) >* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Flags + >permitted. >* 18 EXISTS >* 0 RECENT >* OK [UNSEEN 18] First unseen. >* OK [UIDVALIDITY 1055795174] UIDs valid >* OK [UIDNEXT 6741] Predicted next UID >a0003 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. <a0004 STATUS "incoming.foo" (RECENT) >* STATUS "incoming.foo" (RECENT 397) >a0004 OK Status completed. <a0005 NOOP >a0005 OK NOOP completed.

[Dovecot] Mozilla dovecot interaction
by Eric S. Johansson 21 Aug '03

21 Aug '03

I think this is more a Mozilla bug but just a heads up the case other people complain. periodically, the Mozilla e-mail client refuses to delete messages. It shows up either as absolutely no action when you press the delete key/button or it shows activity but refuses to perform any other action in that mailbox. Sometimes if you switch to another mailbox and then come back to the mailbox you're deleting e-mail message from, the messages deleted when you re-enter the mailbox. I looked with ethereal and it looks like Mozilla is not sending any imap commands. Hence my assertion that it's a Mozilla problem. The only reason I mention it here is because something about dovecot seems to trigger the problem more quickly. I was seeing this kind of problem before but only after a week or two of uptime in the browser. Now I'm seeing it in just under a week (I think) I've only seen at once but I will keep track for future reference. I got to get me a new client... ---eric

[Dovecot] transitional weirdnesses
by Eric S. Johansson 20 Aug '03

20 Aug '03

1) not reproducible but when it occurred, its stuck: in the early transition to dovecot I would notice occasionally that messages would come up, I would delete them and then something would hang causing a major delay in the (Mozilla) e-mail client's response. When the system responded, I would notice that occasionally there would be an off by one offset between the index of messages and the message displayed. This error would persist until I killed off the index and the dovecot process. 2) very reproducible: after fetching messages from my inbox, there will be a long (30 sec.) delay. Dovecot demon is clearly busy doing something. I do have a large set of filter rules (approximately 150) sorting messages into different boxes. Is this a reason to switch to maildir? 3) just ended up with a message that displayed the entire header. Will look into this more but it's very strange. ---eric

[Dovecot] Squirrelmail and Dovecot folder namespace
by Warren Togami 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

I am currently using Squirrelmail and Dovecot with this setting: default_mail_env = mbox:%h/mail/:INBOX=%h/mail/INBOX It works well, however folder subscriptions in Squirrelmail annoyingly end up with "./" prefixes because Squirrelmail refuses to work without overriding the folder namespace. All of my other IMAP clients work fine without setting that option. Squirrelmail's default setting is this: $default_folder_prefix = './mail'; This setting breaks Squirrelmail: $default_folder_prefix = ''; This setting becomes default if you attempt to blank that user's preference: $default_folder_prefix = './'; The end result of this is duplicate entries in .subscriptions, one with "./" prefix and one without. Most IMAP clients handle this by showing all the folders again in a folder named ".", or Mozilla displays all folders twice. =( When I asked one of the squirrelmail developers, he said that this might be a dovecot specific problem. Any ideas? Warren Togami warren(a)togami.com
