Hi Daminto,
That looks pretty much unconfigured. No wonder nothing is coming up.
I have attached the avelsieve config file we are using on one of our domains.
Don't copy it blindly. At least you should configure $sieveport to the port you
are using on your server for Sieve. And put your domain name where it reads
YOURDOMAINNAMEHERE.com.
For the arrays at $headers you should tune the filters you are using with your
headers.
Hope this helps (working fine with our domain and Squirrel-Mail).

Re: [Dovecot] could not start dovecot - unknown section type
Thank you for your reply. Yes, you're right. I should not have called it an upgrade since I actually removed dovecot 1.2.9 completely and installed the dovecot 2.0.17 from the source. Later, I mucked up the init file because I still used the old version one. I'm sorry about this. I remember I tried to upgrade by running doveconf -n -c dovecot.conf dovecot-2.conf, I got an error message saying doveconf: command not found. Then, I tried to google it to find solutions but to no avail. This is why I decided to install it from scratch.

[Dovecot] problem with getting outlook to work with IMAP server
Hi,
I am having difficulty in getting the outlook 2010 to connect to my server
running on Ubuntu Server 10.04. I can login to Squirrelmail webmail, and am
able to send receive emails through squirrelmail with no problem whatsoever.
However, this morning, I was trying to add a new account for the same user on
Outlook 2010 and I got the following error from outlook as follows
Send test e-mail message: Your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server has reported an
internal error. The server responded: 554 5.7.7 No Spoofing Allowed.
I then, went to check /var/log/mail.log and I found the following

The only thing I noticed different between the two is the IP addresses in rip

addresses to connect.

[Dovecot] deliver LDA issue with setuid-root
Hi,
I am getting the following error message when trying to implement LDA Dovecot
1.2.9 with virtual users:
Sep 28 15:59:33 server1 postfix/pipe[3041]: 28BEC2400A1:

/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver must not be both world-executable and setuid-root.
This allows root exploits. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#multipleuids )
I do not know if I need to change the group to secmail. Currently, I have as
follows
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 933796 2011-06-10 05:36 deliver
Can I change it to any other group apart from secmail? and what does it mean by
world-executable? Sorry if I ask a silly question here but keen to learn more
about linux.

Thanks a lot Timo,
Creating directories for new users is not an issue. It's the permission that
makes me headache.
The error message you showed said that the user's home directory didn't exist,
and the permission problem came only because it didn't exist and Dovecot tried
to create it.
I tried the following
sudo chmod o-r /home/$USER
sudo chmod g+rw /home/$USER
It did not work until I did chmod 777 /home.
Right, because only then did it have enough permissions to create the home dir.
Is it safe to make home directory with permission 777?
No.
Re: [Dovecot] dovecot imap permission denied
Hi again,
I tried it again. This time, I could manage to get rid of the
pam_authentication issue (see below). But I still get the invalid credential. I
do not understand because based on the article I found at http://
wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/AuthBinds, it does not authenticate by the
use of password, unless I miss out on something. It's really frustrating
because I feel like I'm that close but not quite there yet.

What does it mean by missing +w perm: /home? and wonder how to get around it? It means that Dovecot tries to deliver mails to mike_lee's Maildir, but /home/mike_lee/ directory itself doesn't exist, so Dovecot tries to create it, but it fails because the process doesn't have write permissions to /home. The best way to fix this would be to simply create the user home dirs with proper permissions before Dovecot ever tries to deliver mails to the user.
[Dovecot] ldap authentication
Hi, I have got Postfix, Dovecot IMAP and squirrelmail up and running on my ubuntu server 10.04 for a testing purpose. My question is in order to be able to login, do I need to create user accounts for each users on the server? I have about 20 users at the moment, and it's going to take time. I was thinking of using LDAP and have the dovecot authentication through LDAP. This way, I do not have to create accounts for 20 users on the server. The dovecot can just authenticate users by looking them up against the LDAP. I wonder if anyone would be able to share some guides as to how to set it up to work with Postfix and Dovecot. Thank you

You might try turning on the various DEBUG modes in Dovecot.
In your dovecot.conf file :
Something like this :
-
auth_debug = yes
auth_debug_passwords = yes
auth_verbose - yes
verbose_proctitle = yes
mail_debug = yes
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log
-
After edit, restart dovecot.
Then tail your log (tail -f /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log) while
attempting to check mail.
You should see a bit more info that might help.
(be sure to turn it all back off. it will sometimes log the passwords
and when using plaintext, thats bad.)
Hope this helps,

I could login to openldapadmin and saw myself there with uid=msmith. I have also installed squirrelmail as my webmail. After all that installed, I went to localhost/squirrelmail on the firefox browser. It would not log me in. Later I found in the /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log file, I saw the following messages dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.9 starting up (core dumps disabled) imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=msmith, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=msm...@mycompany.com.au, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=mike.sm...@mycompany.com.au, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured I tried to login with three different usernames but none worked as shown above in the log file. I wonder if it is to do with method=PLAIN and secured. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Although you could configure Dovecot to do lazy-expunging: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge Thank you for your reply, Timo. OK, but if I want to restore a particular mail from backups, what're the steps involved? What I mean is do I just copy and paste that mail file from backups to the user account maildir folder and what program should I run to synchronize it. Thank you once again

[Dovecot] can not receive external emails
Hi, I am new to Dovecot. Recently I have got a new server running on Ubuntu Server 10.04 with Postfix, Dovecot (for IMAP) and Squirrelmail. During the test, I was able to send receive emails internally, and can send emails externally. However, I got a problem when it comes to receiving emails externally. The emails I sent from yahoo never arrived to my local inbox. Anyway, I checked the mail.log and found the following dovecot: auth-worker(default): dovecot-auth: /usr/locallib/liblber-2.4.so.2 no version information available (required by dovecot-auth) dovecot: auth-worker(default): dovecot-auth: /usr/locallib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2 no version information available (required by dovecot-auth) dovecot: auth-worker(default): dovecot-auth: /usr/locallib/libldap-r-2.4.so.2 no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libpq.so.5) I was wondering if anyone might be kind to explain the above error messages and how to work around this so that it could send/receive emails coming from external mail server. Thank you in advance
[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA
Hi, I was wondering if I could get some help with Dovecot. I have just recently set up a mail server that runs on Ubuntu Server 10.04. It has got the current version of postfix and Dovecot. I have also got the squirrelmail set up as my webmail. Everything is fine. However, I have been reading some emails posted by Dovecot users regarding Dovecot LDA. I wonder if anyone might be able to let me know the benefits it might offer so that i could make a decision as to whether I need it or not. Thank you very much in advance
