[Dovecot] maildrop and multi-dbox
Hi there, I'm using Dovecot 2.0.9-1 under Arch Linux. Currently, I have Maildir configured, and I move all my emails into dovecot by using this sequence: 1) cron starts fetchmail periodically under user manfred to collect my mails from various email accounts. 2) In ~/.fetchmailrc I have configured /usr/bin/maildrop as MDA. 3) In ~/.mailfilter (used by maildrop) I have extensive filtering in place and call bogofilter (by using xfilter) to classify spam mails. This works fine so far. Now I'd like to migrate to dovecot's new format multi-dbox. My question now: Is it correct that then I cannot longer use maildrop and would need to switch do dovecot-lda? -- Thanks, Manfred

Yes, only dovecot-lda and Dovecot's lmtp are able to store messages in mailboxes using dbox format. But both can use the sieve plugin for mail filtering.

That is what I thought. I tried to figure out how to use dovecot-lda and sieve. The most difficult part was to find documentation how to code the sieve file. But I got it working. The next question is how to incorporate bogofilter? The only way I figured out to do that was to have a small script like this: #! /bin/sh /usr/bin/bogofilter -u -e -p | /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -a manfred and to name that script as mda in fetchmail's .fetchmailrc file. Is there a better way? -- Manfred
Re: [Dovecot] Splitting up mail_location setting?

Not quite sure about the parameter's names though. It would seem more reasonable if they would all start with 'mail_location_' or another clustered name, indicating they modify the same set of parameters..

[Dovecot] Dovecot Or Debian, Boot-Time Error Can't assign requested address
Hi all, I have a really weird problem, which for now I have solved by just binding to the IPv6 wildcard address ::. Using the latest packages from Debian unstable (1.x series), I set up a tunnel with tunnelbroker.net for IPv6. I assign two of the delegated addresses in my /48 using IP aliases in /etc/network/interfaces to my ethernet interface (eth0 and eth0:1). All other servers start and run, binding to the primary address (eth0) assigned. The packet forwarder is not necessary, so it isn't turned on using sysctl. But Dovecot will only start if I launch it using the init script after boot. Until then, in syslog there is always: Fatal: listen(2001:470:::1): Can't assign requested address Anybody have the slightest clue what's going on here? Debian bug, or Dovecot? I suspect some problem with initscript order, yet inspection shows no apparent problem; network starts up before services. Very, very odd. Cheers, Sabahattin
