[ubuntu] Cant start Dovecot 21 weeks 6 days ago

I am trying to setup dovecot from this tutorial: http://library.linode.com/email/post...tu-10.04-lucid

When I use Webmin to start dovecot I keep getting this error.

Running debian 6, I believe I've enabled everything correctly, followed various guides to double check as I've been working on this for 3 days now. I've tested both dovecot and postfix with telnet and they work as best as I can tell, however I'm not getting the expected SASL support response when using smtp. I don't really know how to troubleshoot it further than that.

Dovecot - how to config?!? 19 weeks 4 days ago

I've tried every tutorial that I can get my hands on and I just can't seem to grasp the configuration of dovecot. These are the errors that I get when starting the service and they're the same entries in the log files. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

I have postfix and dovecot installed on CentOS 6 (linode) along with MySQL.

Among others things I'm in charge of a Debian GNU/Linux (Wheezy) DomU for the mail services of the company i work for. Yesterday one HDD that was used for this particular server has died. After installing Debian again, Dovecot decided to no longer listen on any ports (checked with netstat -l).

In trying to set up SASL for dovecot on Ubuntu 11, I keep getting obsolete warnings in my log:

Sep 10 15:33:53 server1 dovecot: config: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:24: passdb {} has been replaced by passdb { driver= } Sep 10 15:33:53 server1 dovecot: config: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:27: userdb {} has been replaced by userdb { driver= }

I am attempting to set up an email server using Postfix and Dovecot. Both services are starting fine, but when I log into Squirrelmail to send a test email it won't send, and the response from server error is blank. I tried setting up Thunderbird for the test account, and Thunderbird could not detect the server settings, so I tried to put them in manually, and it still wouldn't work.

I've set up Roundcube using dovecot, postfix{admin,}, and pigeonhole, enabled the managesieve plugin for roundcube, but Filters won't seem to work. I have no idea why.The following is my dovecot.conf.

There is documentation around on how to make /usr/local/bin/procmail work with delivering to a maildir.

However, it is my understanding that it is also possible to avoid procmail altogether, and have sendmail's local_procmail FEATURE call /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver / dovecot-lda directly, instead of first calling procmail.

In such case, how would dovecot-lda know whether it needs to deli
