Dovecot plugin and Push Mail
I’m posting this here and will in a couple other places to see if anyone has any experience with this and knows what I can do. My setup is CentOS 6 with postfix, procmail and dovecot administered via Virtualmin. Postfix of course receives the email. Procmail uses it’s hooks to run the email through spam assassin and clamd. After than procmail hands it off to dovecot/deliver to drop it in the user’s mail box. I use the following plugin for dovecot with the daemon to provide Apple push mail for iPhones. https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-daemon https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-plugin For the most part, this works awesome but have run into a bit of a race issue with notification of mail in a particular instance. On my computer I use Outlook for Mac which says it supports IDLE but is broken. When an email comes in, I ALWAYS get the notification via the dovecpt plugin for a push since Outlook is checking IMAP every 2 minutes. On a buddy’s setup, he uses Apple Mail which supports IDLE that actually works. When his email client is connected from his laptop, it does actually maintain a persistent connection and NEVER receives a notification from the dovecot plugin because I’m guessing dovecot/deliver sees that the email was received by the desktop client. I’m not sure how to make the plugin ALWAYS give a push. Is it a dovecot config? A bug in the plugin? I’m not sure. Suggestions? Thank you, Steffan Cline 602-793-0014
Re: how to treat synonymous domain names as one
Hallo Thanks for your reply. I thought about using symlinks, i do not like this solution. Anyway, it is acceptable for paths to passdb/userdb. Thanks for the hits about user=xxx ! I will use it for paths to mail directories. Thanks again!

Dovecot auth-ldap ignores tls_* settings when using ldaps://
Hi,
I'm using dovecot 2.2.9 (but after checking src/auth/db-ldap.c in 2.2.13
there seems to be the same bug/feature).
The userdb and passdb use LDAP. All further configuration is done in
auth-ldap.conf.ext.
uri = ldaps:///
# tls =
tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/client-cert.pem
tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/certs/client-key.file
Dovecot ignores the tls_* options. If I use an ldap:// URI and
switch on TLS using tls=yes it works as expected.
But I do not see any reason why LDAPS should not read the tls_*
settings.
This small patch solved it for me

return;
#ifdef OPENLDAP_TLS_OPTIONS
It would be great, if somebody can confirm this and if this or some
equivalent patch could make it upstream.
Best regards from Dresden/Germany
