Comparing various sieve scripts I concluded (but I didn't actually

in which case, the interpreter repeats this process until it
runs out of elsifs.
When the interpreter runs out of elsifs, there may be an
else case. If there is, and none of the if or elsif tests
were true, the interpreter runs the else's block.

I don't undestand your question. You can either forward plaintext

the proxys master user to your backend
(http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy).

I'm trying to authenticate on the proxy and use the master user to connect
to the backend, just not sure how thats done.
This makes it a little tricky for me to help you. Since I use dovecot
1.2 with password forwarding and MySQL instead of LDAP I am unable to
verify or test my suggestions.
The link for ExtraFields says I need to return: master=s and pass=s
How do I state the user/pass for the master?
I've compiled my proxy with ldap support and created the same master user on
the proxy that exists on the destination server.
I can telnet on the proxy still, but now its just creating user home
directories on the proxy, and not going to the backend at all.
My proxy config
# 2.0.11: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 i686 Debian 5.0.8
[..]
auth_master_user_separator = *
[..]
passdb {
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/master-users
driver = passwd-file
master = yes
pass = yes
}
Both this you need on your backend.
passdb {
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
driver = ldap
}
[..]
userdb {
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
driver = ldap
}
In your /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext you need to query
for the users username and password as always. In conjunction to this
you query for the additional fields or giveback the static values.
This could be something like this:
pass_attrs=uid=user, userPassword=password, =proxy=y, hostName=host,
=master=your_master_username, =pass=your_master_users_password

Yes, of course the indexes will be rebuilt, but that is normal when messages are deleted/added. I meant they won't be affected in any abnormal way... Yes, of course.
Re: [Dovecot] Delete messages with archivemail
gstyle schrieb: 2010/1/25 Charles Marcus cmar...@media-brokers.com Moin You'd be better off upgrading to the latest stable version (via backports) and using the expire plugin - its made for doing things just like this. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire Mh... could be an option... Do I only install the new packages and tweak the config, or do I have to convert the Maildirs in any way for an upgrade from Dovecot 1.0? No, there are no problems with the Maildirs. Anything importent to consider for the upgrade? I encountered some trouble with the config file while using the old 1.0-configuration. Namely the plugins (sive, managedsieve and quota) did not do what I wanted. This was cured in fifteen minutes by copying my changes from my old config file in the one delivered with 1.2. In all cases you should read the webpages addressing the upgrades. Cheers Mario Bye Dennis

I see only smtps in your master.cf, which listens on port 465. But external server try to connect to plain SMTP on port 25. Add this to your master.cf and it should work: smtp inet n - - - - smtpd master.cf - smtps inet n - - - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject Bye Dennis
