[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
[Dovecot] Slightly OT: iPhone IMAP IDLE
Hi all, Does anybody know whether iPhone is supposed to be able to do IMAP IDLE? I know it does Push but that seems to be using Apple's Mobile Me and Exchange. Cheers, Sabahattin smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

I guess mailman doesn't use From: line to check if user is subscribed. :) It does if you ask it to. It uses the From: header as the authentication for the sender. So I change my bounce and reply address but leave the From: intact, then I get bounces and replies without filtering. Cheers, Sabahattin smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

That's done directly on the filesystem, there's no IMAP or dovecot involved. Saved about 200M in one particularly large mailbox. Thanks! Thanks to others for their suggestions, now working with delIMAPdups since I have mails (not many, but a few) which have identical content and are only different in their Content-Type header lines. One copy will have the declaration on one line, the other has its declarations folded across multiple lines for each parameter. Any idea why *that* might be?

[Dovecot] Debian Unstable Packages
Hi all, Speaking of Debian, what relative position are the Debian Unstable (Sid) packages in to the latest Bleeding edge builds of RCS-based releases from the Wiki? If using Unstable is it recommended to stay or use the newer ones? I'd say it was production, yes, but I'm forgiving of problems in the latest releases, so long as they aren't meant to be beta (i.e., known breakages).

Well, at least I updated the wiki now so that future people won't have this problem. :) To be fair, this was only a problem because I setuid'd the binary as root, which causes the extra permissions checking. The wiki page uses a non- root ID, which I couldn't get to work (the previously mentioned setgid() failure), but at least wouldn't have fallen over in this fashion. I skipped this thread too soon. The mailer flags a=... does include argv[0]. That tripped me up when I was first doing Sendmail, too. Cheers, Sabahattin smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
[Dovecot] mail_save_crlf Semantics
Hi, It's not clear from the configuration when CR/LF conversion happens with mail_save_crlf set. Does this only happen with appends, or do all mails handled by Dovecot always get converted when opened? Cheers, Sabahattin smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
Re: [Dovecot] [xmail] XMail + Dovecot
What, exactly, is the problem? How do you want Dovecot and XMail to work together? I am setting up Dovecot to read from standard Maildirs in user home directories, because I am using a separate delivery agent (TMDA but would work for maildrop, Dovecot's deliver program and others) to deliver mails using mailproc.tab. So, even while XMail runs as root, Dovecot need not and there is no problem getting it to work just like with other MTAs. XMail can't help with delivery to Maildir because it runs as root, and unless you mess about with packet filters to non-root it you'll still end up using for instance XACLs to allow Dovecot to read the mails. For authentication of XMail to Dovecot you would have to write external authentication helpers that use Dovecot's protocol. Or, you can use checkpassword or PAM-POP3 or something else to try getting Dovecot to authenticate against the active XMail list of users. Or you can just do what I do, maintain two databases and keep them in sync. Cheers, Sabahattin smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

[Dovecot] Pegasus Mail 4.41 OK With Dovecot
Pegasus Mail 4.41 is an excellent client on Windows. It works fine with both Dovecot IMAP and POP3 (APOP, IMAP LOGIN commands only - no SASL). Responds to async events. Supports IMAP STARTTLS. Does not use IDLE - periodic CHECKs. Fast and sensible header caches, light on resources. Offline mode, but read-only, using cache (prefetch options available if body caching enabled, it's not by default to save disk space). Searching is still a bit slow, although it does its best to use IMAP substring searches when it's possible even though the folder metadata is apparently managed locally. Excellent configurability; includes semantics for the different types of separator, prefixes, and a choice of whether or not to support folders w/ messages or w/o in folders. Moves mails for trash; only purges from the Trash folder (expunge after every delete operation and don't provide end-user experience different than local folder management). Provides several tricks for faster IMAP access, one of which is to assume only the client is using the mailbox (they can all be turned off). Closed source. But a very nice client, all round. http://www.pmail.com/ http://community.pmail.com/ Cheers, Sabahattin -- Sabahattin Gucukoglu mailatsabahattindashgucukogludotcom Address harvesters, snag this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +44 20 88008915 Mobile: +44 7986 053399 http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/
Re: [Dovecot] question about dovecot imap outlook clients
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Joseph, On 10 Mar 2008 at 16:53, Joseph Norris [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: on outlook, a message for certificates being trusted comes up, the user clicks yes and connection fails. I can't think why that should happen at all. Outlook uses the same SSL engine and certificate store as IE and IIS, I.E. the one built into the Windows NT OS. So at best it should just be a warning that the certificate isn't trusted that the user can just ignore. If not, it must be configurable somewhere in Outlook. Do I have to get an ssl certificate to make it work? ( cost ouch!) Theoretically not. But it would be useful to avoid the warnings and give the users a sense of security. Is there a way around this using my own self-signed certificates? Yes, if you import your certificate into the certificate stores of the machines your users use as a Trusted Root Certification Authority, you can use it to certify any host you like. It can be done in quite a few ways, including with Security Policy, with scripts or by hand. Is there a cheaper ssl certificate service? http://www.cacert.org/ . I've not got enough good things to say about them. The only real drawback is that initially the certificates only last six months a time, which turns out to be quite often enough for my small home site. :-) On the other hand, it's FREE! They have a nice script- driven installer for the Root Certificate on IE under Windows, which means even MS Exchange servers can be cacert-powered in no time allowing for inbound STARTTLS from them (Exchange defaults to paranoia and won't talk [returns mail] if SSL doesn't verify when available). Nice.
