Re: [Dovecot] Detect client application

I wonder if p0f would help at all, guess it depends what kind/if any proxy exists between the mobile device and the server Quoting Thu NGUYEN nta...@tma.com.vn: Yah, thanks! I see HTTP can detect the OS but seems IMAP is new. So there is no way actually -- Regards, Thu NGUYEN On Fri,

Re: [Dovecot] Is it possible to authenticate against Active Direcotry using the whole e-mail?

Yes, it's possible to do this. But not possible using auth_bind. You are going have to login using an administrator account, then do an ldap search for the email address, then authenicate against it. Using auth_bind requires you to know the username before you login.

pass_filter = ( (objectclass=User) (objectCategory=Person) (mail=%u)) Active Directory, as far as I know, by no means exposes users passwords to third party applications or services. Thanks in advance Dimitrios O/H ? ??? ??: O/H Patrick Domack ??: Yes, it's possible

Re: [Dovecot] Time just moved backwards in Dovecot in a Xen DomU

Hmm, I have been running dovecot inside xen for almost 3 years now without any time issues. I checked my logs and I have no ntp time reset messages for the last month. I think it's more possible ntp is stepping the time instead of slewing it (http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-algo.htm

Re: [Dovecot] How to calculate auth_cache_size ?

I don't think you need to use anything very scientific. Too high shouldn't hurt, I don't think memory is allocated needlessly. The cache timeout value is probably more performance worthwile. But to calc, I would go with about the number of logins you get per 5 or 10min. I would think any

Re: [Dovecot] Time just moved backwards in Dovecot in a Xen DomU

This reminds me of an odd issue I had also, where mine stepped at a given amount per time too. In the datacenter one server was at limited it to 10mbit half duplex, and I had endless ntp issues. I could only replicate this offsite with the same server using 10mbit and fully saturating the

Re: [Dovecot] Time just moved backwards in Dovecot in a Xen DomU

If you notice in your ntpq dumps you did, you have 400ms of jitter. That is a hell of alot. I dunno if it makes a difference but you used 3 servers from the same edu, and they have 90ms on them, shouldn't matter, if they where the only ones with jitter I would replace them, but all 4 of your

Re: [Dovecot] Time just moved backwards in Dovecot in a Xen DomU

Hmm, I forgot to respond to this :) I believe it's working for you, cause you last set dom0 to use it's own clock, instead of xen, so now dom0's clock is getting synced via ntp. BUT the ALL of your domU's now, have no time sync. If your clock in your computer is good, then all is fine
