Re: [Dovecot] compiling dovecot on aix gcc 3.3.2

[Ralf Becker]

You're welcome :-)

Maybe you're interested in a binary distribution build on AIX-5.2 for
testing?

I've placed one here:
 http://www.fh-trier.de/~beckerr/dovecot/

The binary is build with xlc using
  ./configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local --with-ldap
and openldap version 2.3

See
   dump -H /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
and
   dump -H /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth
for other dependencies.

Re: [Dovecot] compiling dovecot on aix gcc 3.3.2

[funkypunky drunky]

Hi ralf;
In spite your incrediable help i cannot compile the plugin support of
dovecot. It means i have to use dovecot without imap quota extension. I feel
a little dummy but i cannot compile dovecot plugins. But if there is someone
who compile the dovecot plugins on aix with gcc, i am look forward to
receiving some help. Thanx for everything until now.
C u later.


2007/3/29, Ralf Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hello funkypunky drunky,

this is an example how the script rewrite the command line when the
dovecot-imap binary is being linked:

1) Makefile calls libtool with:

There was a recent thread on heimdal-discuss talking about load balancing.

how they fixed dovecot to work in their setup.  It involved (IIRC) passing
GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL to gss_accept_sec_context().  Maybe that thread will

[Dovecot] truncated maildir root?

[Joe Wong]

Hello,

I have successfully configure dovecot to lookup my existing user database to 
lookup the homedir. However, I found the following from the log:

dovecot: Apr 05 04:05:16 Info: IMAP(joewong99:tkodog.no-ip.com): Effective 
uid=1001, gid=1001, home=/mnt/mailmountpoint/4/22/3/joewong99:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
dovecot: Apr 05 04:05:16 Info: IMAP(joewong99:tkodog.no-ip.com): maildir:

dovecot: Apr 05 04:05:16 Info: IMAP(joewong99:tkodog.no-ip.com): maildir: 
root=/mnt/mailmountpoint/4/22/3/joewong99, 
index=/mnt/mailmountpoint/4/22/3/joewong99, control=, inbox=

The "root" is truncated after the colon. Can I configure dovecot not to do it? 
I have 1 messages in /mnt/mailmountpoint/4/22/3/joewong99:[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]/Maildir
but SELECT INBOX show no messages.

Hey all-- for those interested in deploying 1.0rc29, I just wanted to
report that I deployed 1.0.rc29 Monday evening and it has been
absolutely rock solid for the past 48 hours: zero core dumps, and I have
fielded no significant complaints in the past two days.  At this moment
we have 220+ processes in our dovecot deployment serving 103 users.

We did a little measurement and it's nice to see that dovecot is very
resource efficient; here is an aggregated view of all of the dovecot
processes we are using:

PROJIDNPROC  SWAP   RSS MEMORY  TIME  CPU PROJECT 
   100  221  179M  196M   0.6%   2:22:24 0.2% imap
   

So my runtime RSS per User is about 2MB.  Wow.  (In recent Nevada builds
we've refined prstat's ability to correctly measure RSS for projects,
zones, etc. so this number should be pretty accurate).

We're still working on debugging why our Kerberos setup isn't working--
Thanks to Timo we have auth_gssapi_hostname, but we're still not quite
there... our Kerberos engineers are looking into it.

I've gotten a lot of compliments about how stable and fast our setup is
compared with the old deployment-- those really should go to Timo.  Thanks!

Hi Axel,
thanks, I try building by editing the .spec and it worked.

Also, it seems that dovecot detect and build vpopmail even if you don't use
the --with-vpopmail

Reporting back.
It has been two days since we upgraded to rc29
No reports of problems on Mac or PC clients.
Our namespace looks like:

#courier-imap compatibility/Thunderbird
namespace private {

 prefix = INBOX.
 inbox = yes

First RC that we have been able to get both Mac and PC clients to co-exist

Re: [Dovecot] solaris 10 dovecot-1.0.rc29 - building issue

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Hi,

Works great for me; it has for a long time.  My advice: upgrade your
C compiler.  I usually build dovecot with gcc 4.1.1, but it will also
work well with Sun Studio 11.  Sun Studio 11 is free if you have a
Sun support contract/sunsolve login.  See:

http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/

Dovecot has been pretty bullet-proof for me.

That would work for a single backend machine, but not for multiple
machines.

If there's no managesieve proxies, then I imagine my best bet will be
to modify avelsieve to be able to determine which backend server to
connect to.  In the short run, I think avelsieve also has an option to
connect to a different server.  That should be sufficient for testing
purposes.

[Dovecot] solaris 10 dovecot-1.0.rc29 - building issue

[Davide Vaghetti]

Hi all,

I'm having terrible time, and a lot of core dumps, building dovecot on
Solaris 10.

My environment:
gcc 3.3.2

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto \
-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -ldb -L/usr/local/lib -lldap

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include \
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include

my configure:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-ldap

...that is:

Install prefix .. : /usr/local
File offsets  : 64bit
I/O loop method . : poll
File change notification method . : none
Building with SSL support ... : yes (OpenSSL)
Building with IPv6 support .. : yes
Building with pop3 server ... : yes
Building with mail delivery agent  .. : yes
Building with GSSAPI support  : no
Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd
passwd-file checkpassword ldap (modules)
Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow pam
checkpassword ldap (modules)
Building with SQL drivers :

When I try to actually make it, this is the result:

I tried the rc27 and rc28 too with the same results.
Does anybody experienced similar issues ?

There are no managesieve protocol proxies, but you could proxy it at the TCP 
level.

Something like tcpproxy will let you forward TCP connection to another host.  
I think you can even configure netcat to do this.  Of course, your proxy 
machine can probably also do this in the IP stack.  On Linux, for instance, 
you could use iptables.

OK, then I guess I should consider it when I do the porting to current
CVS HEAD. Right? By the way, any documentation I should read about quota
setups, quota rules, and quota roots for IMAP? When I had a look at the
quota backport for 1.0, I failed to understand how things work together...

Does this mean it looks good enough for you and you have nothing to
criticize? Wow!

[Dovecot] managesieve proxy

[Marshal Newrock]

We have dovecot on a pop/imap server working as a proxy to dovecot on
the backend storage servers.  This is working fine, but the difficulty
is that if I use, for example, avelsieve in squirrelmail, it doesn't
know where to connect.  I imagine the same problem would exist with
sieve-capable mail clients such as KMail, especially since the outside
world isn't allowed to connect directly to the storage servers.

Does anyone know of a way to proxy managesieve?

dovecot --version will tell you the exact version. Why guess?


Both non-SSL and SSL logins have the problem.


The version you are using is very old with respect to dovecots current 
state. Iirc, there were *many* changes to do with ldap, ssl and login 
issues that are fixed in current releases.


Please find a current release (rc29 is the current one), and see if 
that fixes your problems.


I was on rc17.  Just upgraded to rc29 - let's see what happens - fingers

[Dovecot] chdir failed, but requires group permissions

[Brent Nesbitt]

Using Debian Etch package dovecot-common and dovecot-pop3d, based on
1.0.rc15-2

 

My home directories are set up with 770 permissions as follows:

/home//

 

Using this method, users MUST be a member of the appropriate group to
access their own home directory.  If they are not, they can't chdir past
/home.

 

This appears to kill dovecot with a "chdir failed with id :
Permission Denied" error, immediately after authenticating a pop3 user.

I was able to make a user the owner of the  directory, and
dovecot succeeded

But when the  directory is owned by : and the user is a member of the group - the process dies.

 

Any suggestions?
