[Dovecot] ldaps support in dovecot-ldap.conf?

2008-02-15 Thread Tim Tyler

Dovecot experts,
  Does Dovecot support ldaps:\\ connections in dovecot-ldap.conf for 
ldap connections?  I can get regular ldap:\\connections to work, 
but  not ldaps:\\ connections.  I have even downloaded the latest 
beta version of dovecot and it still doesn't work.  If its not 
supported, will it be in the near future?

  Note: We are using Centos 5 and Redhat 5 systems.

Re: [Dovecot] Too many open files

2008-01-10 Thread Tim Tyler


   We were running 1.015r (since that is what Redhat distributes) 
and had the Too many open files problem.  We were using PAM at 
first and then userdb ldap.  We upgraded to 1.10 and all seems to be 
fixed for us now.  I have no idea about the in between 
versions.   Upgrading to 1.10 seems to work.

 Hello !

 The problem with Too many open files has disappeared here when using
 the version dovecot.i386 1:1.0.9-0_65.fc7 on a system running Fedora 7.
 With the more recent version dovecot.i386 1:1.0.10-0_66.fc7, the problem
 occurs again as it did previously.

There's hardly any difference between 1.0.9 and 1.0.10, except if you're
using LDAP passdb/userdb. Unless the RPM was packaged differently, I'd
say it's just a chance that 1.0.9 happens to (appear to) work and 1.0.10
doesn't.

[Dovecot] Dovecot too many open files???

2008-01-08 Thread Tim Tyler

Dovecot experts,
 We just recently deployed Dovecot 1.0.rc15 on a Redhat 5 system.  I 
have over 1400 users.  At first it appeared to work fine.  But soon, 
we had complaints of students that couldn't retrieve their email.  I 
looked in the logs and found this error.


Jan  7 22:27:31 stu dovecot: auth(default): 
pam(pucklisl,http://144.89.40.6144.89.40.6): pipe() failed: Too 
many open files


We are running Dovecot to authenticate via pam which authenticates ldap.

Any solutions for this problem?

Dovecot users,
  I guess I should complain to Redhat.  Their latest rhl release of 
Dovecot is 1.0.rc15 on redhat 5.   Its even older if you are running 
on redhat 4 which ironically is much more stable.  I even tried to 
run dovecot directly to ldap using userdb ldap, but that would fail 
after a few minutes.  We are now downloading and installing 
1.010.  So far it appears to be stable, but we shall see over the 
rest of the afternoon.  Too early to judge.  I hate having to run 
source code installs, but it may be the only way in this case.  I 
guess I would expect better from a commercial linux company in the 
stability of what they release.

[Dovecot] Dovceot user pop3 last connect info?

2007-10-04 Thread Tim Tyler

   Dovecot experts,
  I am a newbie to Dovecot.  I am in the process of replacing 
qpopper with dovecot to support pop 3 clients.  I have installed the 
latest version of Dovecot on Fedora Core 6.  Everything seems to be 
working fine using ldap, etc.
  However, with qpopper, I used to have .pop.username files which 
would give me a time stamp of the last time a user established a pop3 
connection.  I know that Dovecot has logs of connection in the 
/var/log/maillog files, but these files rotate out over a relatively 
short period of time.  Is there a method by which one can keep track 
of the last time a pop3 connection was established for each user when 
using Dovecot?
