[Dovecot] Enabling security on POP3 and IMAP

Hello, Currently, on our new test server, I am offering IMAP on 143 and POP3 on 110. We would like to enable security on both of these protocols to attempt to eliminate the risk from an internal password-grabbing/content-grabbing attack. I presume this would mean enabling SSL, and a more securur

[Dovecot] mail_uid and mail_gid are not set in environment (for expire-tool and so)

Hello, I've just subscribed to the list, as a recent user of Dovecot (1.2.4 by now). I eventually missed a point, so I tried to find other doc or comments about my issue, but failed to. If the following has already been discussed, please simply reply with a URL to the corresponding thread or doc

Re: [Dovecot] mail_uid and mail_gid are not set in environment (for expire-tool and so)

I haven't been into details about my userdb. It's a LDAP backend. Before mail_uid and mail_gid parameters arrive, I'd have to play the trick with the value returned by the LDAP backend, adding some uid/gid values. Now, with these new configuration parameters, I understand I'm not supposed to worka

[Dovecot] avoiding DoS

Hi, I was just looking for some advice on avoiding getting DoS'd from brute force log in attempts. We came in this morning to find that one of our Solaris 9 dovecot severs had wedged overnight due to a brute force connection attempt to pop3 from Brasil. In the span of about 15 seconds we rec

[Dovecot] IMAP timeout problem

Hello, We are running dovecot 1.1.2 on a Solaris 10 box. We have been running the same configuration for about a year without a problem. We have a different cert for POP and IMAP. Recently we made two changes. The cert for IMAP expired and we had to install a new one. We applied some patch

Dear All, does anyone got any program which could benchmark imap and pop3 in terms of message per second?
