This looks more like a system denial.. or could be a Blacklist denial of the

Re: How do I fix this: master: Warning: fd limit (ulimit -n) is lower than required
Yes,tried a range from 100 to 1000, but the warning still happens, with varying outputs saying its either over or under.

Re: How do I fix this: master: Warning: fd limit (ulimit -n) is lower than required
That's my next question. 'The how' I'm on OSX 10.10.3, latest Dovecot. I need to either increase limit -n globally, or for Dovect at boot time. ulimit -n 4096 for example. I can set it in /etc/profile, but that seems like it my be a brute force method?

I get this when I reload dovecot after any changes. How can I fix it? I can’t find any reference to it anywhere. master: Warning: fd limit (ulimit -n) is lower than required under max. load (256 < 1000), because of default_client_limit thanks Robert
Dovecot is not reading connections from iOS devices correctly. Any ideas?
From the dovecot logs. dovecot-info.log May 11 09:27:45 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.0.1, lip=192.168.0.15, session= dovecot-debug.log May 11 09:27:45 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=17388) When I try to connect using either the iOS Mail app, or Outlook mail app, nothing happens at al with ssl, and if I use plain login the iOS device tells me I have either the username or password wrong - which I haven't. Connection from Mac with MailMate works fine. iOS doesn't. so I'm stumped. I can't see why this is refusing the connection.

Fatal: Unknown scheme: SHA512-CRYPT. On a Mac-mini
Running postfix+dovecot+mysql on a mac-mini, and trying to solve this
puzzle. Is this a Mac issue?, a MySQL issue? or something I haven't
configured in?
You can see from the output of the samples shows in the first case, that
SHA512-CRYPT seems to be Unknown.
The code I used is from a Linux based tutorial on setting up
Postfix+Dovecot+MySQL on a site. Everything is generally going ok, apart
from this bit. There are some others unknown as well. The codes used to
create my database of passwords follows these output examples.

MacMini:~ robert$ cd
My MySQL Version:
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.19, for osx10.9 (x86_64) using EditLine

The MySQL code used to create the user/password table. Which seems to work
fine, and creates the table as it should - even though the resulting
password doesn't appear to be quite right for SHA512-CRYPT
INSERT INTO `mailserver`.`virtual_users`
(`id`, `domain_id`, `password` , `email`)
VALUES
('1', '1', ENCRYPT('firstpassword', CONCAT('$6$',
SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16))), 'ema...@example.com'),
('2', '1', ENCRYPT('secondpassword', CONCAT('$6$',
SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16))), 'ema...@example.com');
What it actually creates is this: This is not a SHA512-CRYPT password??
mysql> SELECT * FROM mailserver.virtual_users;
3 | 1 | $6jxK9DWPBrAc | rob...@zeus.example.com
Just to be clear,. this is the section of the Dovecot configs that deals
with handling this. BUT.. On the MAC-Mini, SHA512-CrYPT is unknown.
# List of supported schemes is in
# http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes
#
default_pass_scheme = SHA512-CRYPT
So the question is, what Encryption should I be using, and is this an Apple
thing, or a MySQL thing?
A question about Configure time options, and base directories and Defaults?
I originally downloaded the sources a few weeks ago, dovecot-2.2.16, and
simply did a
./configure
make
make install
I'm running OSX 10.10.3 on a mac-mini.
Not being too sure that I was going to go ahead with this whole idea... in
any event, I did. BUT... most documentation I come across as I search for
answers refers to the base directories being below /etc - as in postfix
actually.
ie;
/etc/dovecot
/etc/postfix
Which seems logical to me - and appears to be a "default" or standard, at
least in most documentation.
However, my cavaliere installation put everything below /usr/local, as in
/usr/local/etc/dovecot
Which has caused me no end of fiddling as I try and remember where things
are when I'm working on config files.
There even appears to be a /private/etc/dovecot folder, which I seem to
have somehow created about a month ago??? but is empty anyway.
So, on my Mac I now have these folders/directories.
These may have been created by a previous attempt, or by an installation to
CutedgeSystems Mailserve. Now redundant.
/private/etc/dovecot < empty
/private/etc/pam.d/dovecot <--- contains login, pop3, ssh etc etc
/private/var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot <-- this is a link to the one
just above ??? or the other one is a link to this?
/usr/libexec/dovecot <-- this contains a link to dovecot-lda [dovecot-lda
-> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda] that I put in myself because
that's where dovecot was looking for it.
= everything below this line is as a result of the installation
from source
/usr/local/cutedge/dovecot
/usr/local/etc/dovecot
/usr/local/include/dovecot
/usr/local/lib/dovecot
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot
/usr/local/sbin/dovecot
/usr/local/share/doc/dovecot
/usr/local/var/lib/dovecot
/usr/local/var/run/dovecot
I see from this list in someone else's post, that it's obviously possible -
and I should have remembered - to put the files where ever I want them.
i.e. /etc/dovecot
If I read this list right, it will put the installation into /etc/dovecot -
with some in other, appropriate directories. NOT all below /user/local as I
have done.
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--libexecdir=\${prefix}/lib \
--localstatedir=/var \
--mandir=\${prefix}/share/man \
--infodir=\${prefix}/share/info \
--with-moduledir=\${prefix}/lib/dovecot/modules \
--disable-rpath \
--disable-static
Now for the burning question. Is it possible now to re-configure, then
reinstall into the more appropriate directories, then copy the
configuration files over. Make the appropriate weeks, and remove the
original /usr/local/ installation?
Or is that just a step too far for the sake of what is essentially window
dressing.
The system I might add appears to be working as is?
Thanks for any advice from the experts.
