[Dovecot] ignors the configure prefix
1.2.5 is ignoring the configure -prefix switch. It you install it some place else with the -prefix then I get errors all over the place becuase things are hard coded to use the default and it can't find anything any more like: Fatal: execv(/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/ssl-build-param) failed: No such file or directory and Error: Can't open configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf: No such file or directory Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf and Starting Dovecot Imap: Error: auth_executable: Can't use /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth: No such file or directory How do I fix this?

Have you tried to build the SRPM available at ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/dovecot-1.2.5-2.fc12.src.rpm ? Yes, I have tried it. There are errors in that release, at least one file fails the MD5 hash. Also, fc12 stuff often does not work right on el5. el5 has specific SElinux policies and expects dovecot to live in a specific place (/usr). While you can change where it installs with -prefix, the code its self seems to want to live at /usr/local since those references don't seem to change. Now if the .spec file can fix that I would be interested in how it does it, but there is too much work involved to find out if the .spec author knows something I don't. I do know that these are probably not the words you want to hear now, but i would advise you to test upgrades on a test system, deploying changes to the production server only after you know everything is alright. This is the test system. Well, they're VMs, I copy and flip them.

Re: [Dovecot] sievec fails when last line is a comment without trailing \n
Peter Marschall wrote: Hi, when switching from Dovecot 1.1 + cmusieve to Dovecot 1.2 + sieve I stumbled upon the following problem: My sieve files, generated with Dovecot 1.1's managesieve, did not compile anymore with sieve's sievec. The error message was: error: end of file before end of hash comment. Looking a bit closer I found that the last line, which was a comment, did not have a trailing newline. Adding a newline fixed the problem. I do not know if Dovecot 1.2's managesieve behaves differently, but the upgrade from cmusieve to sieve In the spirit of be generous in what you accept but strict in what you send, is it possible for sievec to not throw an error in this case, but simply compile the file. This might help other updates from cmusieve - sieve as well. Good suggestion: http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-1.2-sieve/rev/3c3984419921 It now triggers a warning in stead of an error.

[Dovecot] Expire Plugin Configuration Question
I am very confused looking at the expires plugin and its configuration. What is confusing me the most is that it appears that I have to configure expiration globally, meaning, for example, that the Trash mailbox expiration interval is the same regardless of the user. What I really am looking for is per-user configurable rules. Those would obviously not be able to be in a file configuration but would have to be in some shared/sharable resource. Is such a thing possible? What I really want is the ability to move my expiration rules out of my email client and into dovecot. That would be very useful for me since I access my mail from more than one host and via more than one client. roland -- PGP Key ID: 66 BC 3B CD Roland B.

I don't think you can use extra fields for this now, but I wonder if it would be possible to modify expire plugin to do so? Well, it's a bit disappointing to hear that it can't be done, but I'm not surprised since that's what I was inferring from the documentation. I was hoping to be able to configure a uniform expiration policy, just like I currently use procmail to file my mail without having to have a separate config for each client. roland -- PGP Key ID: 66 BC 3B CD Roland B.

The documentation doesn't say anything about per-user which implies it can't be done. I would very much like to be wrong on that. By uniform, I don't mean global.
