Mmm.. the fact I'm reporting is different: you noticed that changes don't appear immediately when using multiple clients because of local caching. Here it happens that mail isn't actually written to an imap folder (sent mail). Closing all instances and opening a new one doesn't get the lost mail back. When it happens with thunderbird, the user gets an error stating that the mail can't be saved. With other mail clients nothing is said and the mail is just lost. Regards, Diego.

Another (maybe related?) strange thing is that local mail (sent by sendmail) sometimes get delayed to the following queue run (that was set to 30 min). Even this fact never happened before the switch to dovecot. I thought it could be caused by a bad locking configuration, but Centos5 sendmail should use fcntl, wu-imap should have used it as well (am I wrong?), and dovecot is explicitly configured with fcntl, too. Perhaps, as it never happened with wu-imap, it could be fixed with dovecot, too. The hard part is to understand why it happens. Regards, Diego.

I will say that I have been using Webmin/Usermin since I started with Linux about 10 years ago and Webmin has always been an outstanding graphical tool for configuring a Linux box and all the server apps etc. Usermin, I have watched it's evolution over time, and my opinion of it today is, it is just about evolved to a very usable and well developed application. Plus, it offers far more than just reading email. Shell interface, MySQL interface, gives users the ability to change their account passwords.

That's exactly what I'm going for. Good to hear I can expect it to work fine. I still have problems with outlook on pop3, especially if the mail is left on the server and also accessed with another MUA like outlook express -- don't ask -- stupid PHB decision -- but I haven't had other problems.

I'm also testing several webmail softwares on the same mail store and I haven't seen any gotchas.

Are you sure about the last 'permit'. You are potentially making
yourself an open relay. I would suggest 'reject' as the correct action.
You might want to inquire on the Postfix forum for more info.

[Dovecot] interesting note - not sure just how to take care of this one
Hello all,
the dovecot -> ldap connection is working correctly but I notice
something in my maillog that is disturbing:
dovecot.conf in the passdb section I have
passdb passwd {
}
then it drops down into the ldap stuff.
The user gets validated via this first and if it fails passes on to the
ldap stuff.
the problem is:
in the file the user's unencrypted password is showing up as follows:
Mar 12 11:24:41 malaga dovecot: auth(default):
pam(jnorris,XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication
failure
Mar 12 11:24:41 malaga dovecot: auth(default):
passwd(jnorris,XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX): lookup
Mar 12 11:24:41 malaga dovecot: auth(default):
passwd(jnorris,XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX): Password mismatch
Mar 12 11:24:41 malaga dovecot: auth(default):
passwd(jnorris,XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX): CRYPT("the uncrypted password in plain
text here") != 'x'
is there a way to disable this?
thanks.

[Dovecot] deliver fails - passdb doesn't support lookups?
Hello,
I'm trying to get `deliver` (the LDA) to function properly. I can get
it to work without doing a user lookup, but for my own sense of
sanity, I want to know what I'm doing wrong getting user lookups
working. (I'm using dovecot 1.0.10).
Here's what I have in the "auth default" section:
auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb ldap {
args= /var/lib/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
userdb static {
args = uid=3728 gid=3728 home=/domains/%Ld/%Ln
}
user = vpopmail
socket listen {
master {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode = 0600
user = vpopmail
group = vchkpw
}
client {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
mode = 0660
}
}
}
And yet, when I run deliver, I get no warnings, no errors, and most
especially, no email delivered. Here's how I call deliver:
cat testemail | setuidgid vpopmail \
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver \
-d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I tried running deliver within strace, and here's what I found. It
opens up the authentication socket and writes:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
And it gets back:
VERSION\t1\t0\nSPID\t10917\nFAIL\t1\n"
If I understand the authentication protocol correctly, that means an
internal error occurred.
The dovecot log file reports this:
Error: auth(default): static([EMAIL PROTECTED]): passdb doesn't
support lookups, can't verify user's existence
passdb? I thought it was the userdb that was important! What's going
on here?

Re: [Dovecot] Debugging sieve-options
Hi Chris, thank you very much for your helpful answer! deliver was configured fine already. But I was not aware that I need another tool/configuration for managing sieve-scripts. I am using pysieved now (with Sieve for Thunderbird) and everything is working fine. Great... Kind regards, Jens Chris Vogel schrieb: Hey Jens, the big picture is: The sieve plugin works with deliver. Deliver is the lda (local delivery agent), which comes with Dovecot. To use it you need to configure your mailer (postfix / exim / sendmail) to deliver emails using Dovecots deliver instead of writing to users maildirs or mailfiles directly. To use the managesieve protocol you need a patch to Dovecot - the MANAGESIEVE patch. You'll find a lot of information about it in the mailing lists archive and there are links in the Wiki. You should start reading about lda deliver in the Wiki. Once you've got sieve working you can start to worry about managesieve :). Good luck! Chris.

OMG. It's works. So, never put a dot in the name of the directory :-)
But if nested folders in a maildir used, dot should be used, e. g.
fileinto "maillists.dovecot";

Re: [Dovecot] Sieve doesnt filter
Steffen Kaiser schrieb: I guess, this is just a simplification of you real filter, therefore one remard: keep is not reached, if address matches, but header not. The regex does not look correct, use just one backslash per asterisk. BTW: I would use header :contains "X-Spam-Level" "*" Bye, After a little more trying, I found the target mailbox. But now I want to copy a mail not move a mail, it is possible?
[Dovecot] Fileinto to a maildir with sieve
Hello,
Is it possible to specify a maildir to a fileinto rule in a sieve file?
A simple:
require "fileinto";
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
fileinto ".Junk";
}
does'nt work becaise .Junk is a directoty, not a mailbox... See my
dovecot-deliver log:
Couldn't open mailbox .Junk: Invalid mailbox name
Mar 12 09:52:38 helm deliver([EMAIL PROTECTED]): sieve runtime error:
Fileinto: Generic Error
Is it possible to specify a directory (maildir)?
Thanks.

[Dovecot] Problem with a sieve file
Hello,
I use a simple sieve file like:
require "fileinto";
if header :contains ["From"] ["root"] {
redirect "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
}
When I send an email with root to this user, I have this error in my
deliver log:
Mar 12 09:43:18 helm deliver([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
open(~/.temp.hostname.net.53398.23c1b1a363c2c4e8) failed: No such file
or directory
Mar 12 09:43:18 helm deliver([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: forwarded to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Why I have this error? I don't understand it.
I use dovecot with Postfix (2.4) and FreeBSD (6.2) :
dovecot-1.0.12Secure and compact IMAP and POP3 servers
dovecot-sieve-1.0.2 A sieve plugin for the Dovecot LDA called 'deliver'
See my config a sieve in my dovecot.conf:
mail_plugins = cmusieve quota (in protocol lda)
sieve = /var/mail/vmail/%u/sieve (in plugin)
Thanks for your help.
- Nicolas.
