Many thanks Mij & Timo, I just installed everything on a new server with dovecot 1.2rc6, and it seems to work perfectly. I will continue my tests with large and imported maildirs. So qmail + vmailmgr + dovecot = ok :-) Now I am wondering whether I should also replace qmail-pop3d by dovecot for more consistency (and performance?). Regards & a nice week-end to you all, Olivier
Re: [Dovecot] dovecot and vmailmgr/qmail mailboxes
I modified the wrapper to perform this escaping. With the new wrapper and dovecot v1.2rc6, authentication works fine for "dot users" too. See http://mij.oltrelinux.com/net/dovecot-qmail-vmailmgr/ for further instructions. have fun On Jun 24, 2009, at 22:16 , Olivier Mueller wrote: Hello, On Sun, 2009-06-21 at 22:24 -0400, Timo Sirainen wrote: I suppose :: could be used to escape a single : character.

(with Mij's wrapper). Or is there still some work left? Thanks & regards from Zürich, Olivier

Although now that I looked at your code, you seem to be using only HOME. And using ~/ in mail_location should work around any ":" issues. So what exactly is the problem you're seeing? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Could > '\0' be one? If not, > what about '*'? The problem is that mail_location setting uses ":" as the "sub-setting" separator. If I changed it, I'd break a huge number of Dovecot installations. The reason why I chose ":" in the first place was because I didn't think anyone would really use it in directory names, because that would also break e.g. $PATH. > - as a quicker & dirtier solution, what about allowing escaping?

I might break a few installations by doing that change, but I could live with that.

Count +1 for the interested people, I'd be happy to migrate from courier to dovecot, but since all my servers are vmailmgr-based, I can't at the moment... Regards, Olivier
