[opensuse] IMAP issues on openSUSE 12.3
I am trying to get IMAPd running on openSUSE 12.3. At this point, I just want it to serve $HOME/Maildir folders to clients like evolution on localhost. Oddly, I had it working. I decided to do a reboot to ensure that everything came back. It did not. # rccourier-imap status Checking for Courier-IMAP running courier-imap.service - LSB: Courier-IMAP server Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/courier-imap) Active: active (running) since Mon, 2013-07-01 13:17:19 CEST; 2min 2s ago Process: 4387 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/courier-imap stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 4408 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/courier-imap start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/courier-imap.service ├ 4422 /usr/sbin/courierlogger -pid=/var/run/imapd.pid -start -name=imapd /usr/lib/courier-imap/couriertcpd -address=127.0.0.1 -maxprocs=40 -maxperip=20 -nodnslookup -noidentlookup 143 /usr/sbin/imaplogin /usr/sbin/imapd Maildir └ 4423 /usr/lib/courier-imap/couriertcpd -address=127.0.0.1 -maxprocs=40 -maxperip=20 -nodnslookup -noidentlookup 143 /usr/sbin/imaplogin /usr/sbin/imapd Maildir Jul 01 13:17:19 acme systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Courier-IMAP server...

Which it is not. I am not using ssl, and passwords are not encrypted. The various log files I have looked at did not shed any light. I am curious why the IP address in the status listing is [::ffff:127.0.0.1] and not [127.0.0.1 Odd that it worked before a reboot.] It is sooo long since I last set up an openSUSE machine for this that I have certainly forgotten something... -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It's unusual for applications to write all addresses as IPv6 addresses. Dunno about the rest of it. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

So I disabled IP6 and restarted the system. It still prints the addresses this way. I suspect it is a bad trace statement more than refusal not to use IP6. Every e-mail reader app seems to have a different take on the system. evolution no longer wants to talk to the imapd it was happily talking to earlier. kmail seems to talk but does not want to delete messages. No warning. It just seems to ignore the request. Getting e-mail sorted is the last thing before I can fully switch to 12.3, I expect mail to arrive from a single remote via SMTP, be handled by postfix, who delivers mail to procmail, who sorts things into a user's Maildir folder. All access of mail is via IMAP. As I have on my older openSUSE system.

Exactly what I do with dovecot, sendmail, spamassassin and postfix, except that I also use fetchmail to collect mail from 3 different external accounts and deliver them to local mailboxes for 2 different users. And it "just works(TM)". I have had the same setup running from 10.3 to 12.3 (and Fedora Core 5 - 9 before switching to openSuSE), and now I've moved it off the desktop machine and onto a Raspberry Pi (running raspbian, based on Debian "wheezy") and it "just works(TM)" there too. Same setup, same configs. [It was admittedly a challenge getting spamassassin to not have the load average constantly sitting above 30 on the rasbpi, but switching to spamd and using compiled rulesets did the trick - it now ticks along at around 0.01 - 0.02]. Configuring sendmail was a no-brainer - years ago I found a script called "install-sendmail-6.0" which automates the whole thing and takes care of the common security holes caused by misconfiguration. At least my mail server is something I've never had to worry about breaking... -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have never had a problem before either. Do you use SSL with IMAPD? I don't. Maybe evolution (despite the fact that it is an optional setting) is using it no matter? Otherwise I cannot see how it can claim that my password is incorrect.

How does one manage the gnome keyring? Seems there used to be a gnome-keyring-manager. But no more. I tried the gnome-control-center, but all it does is let me start yast. I do not use gnome as my desktop.

On one account I had fail, fail, fail until I changed the password. It sees that something somewhere along the line didn't like passwords with spaces. Anther time I didn't see it all until I tied access via telnet. The client wanted hashed id/password not plaintext. Sometimes "It Just Works(tm)" because there are no such hurdles. I now have fetchmail bring in from about 30 accounts (thank you all the past clients and the ISPs that allow for very specific [e.g. list-specific] account names and a loud honk to those services which object things like "anton+listname" as one); whitelisting and blacklisting through procmail, then though spamassassin and into procmail again to sort into folders. Right now the only access to the Dovecot server is from machines on the LAN so SSL is not used. Telnet is a great tool for debugging text based protocols such as POP and IMAP, but have a cheat-sheet to hand. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sigh, I left the most important part in the above .... it should have read: It's NOT unusual -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
