file/folder perms permissions

Forgive me if I am blind, but I cannot find default folder permissions. For the home directories, with the sub of mail: and deeper, I see some files with 660, some with 600, some folders with 770 some with 660 I am a bit confused. I manually messed with some files, and my MUA complained about

dovecot / tcp-wrappers / FBSD 10.3

2016-11-14 Thread Jim Pazarena
Can anyone share the proper config to get wrappers working in dovecot on FreeBSD? The dovecot examples do not seem to work, and I thought perhaps FBSD needs slightly different configs. I've compiled with: -DHAVE_LIBWRAP which I presume is the first step. The example for dovecot.conf in un

IP drop list

2015-02-28 Thread Jim Pazarena
I wonder if there is an easy way to provide dovecot a flat text file of ipv4 #'s which should be ignored or dropped? I have accumulated 45,000+ IPs which routinely try dictionary and 12345678 password attempts. The file is too big to create firewall drops, and I don't want to compile with wrap

[Dovecot] setting up both system password users AND virtual users

2009-03-04 Thread Jim Pazarena
I'm afraid that I am a rookie at dovecot, and cannot seem to figure the configuration for a dual system & virtual setup. For now I am using POP3 ---only--- I've got the "system" working, but cannot figure out how to add the virtual system. The docs aren't quite clear enough for me to understand

I have just come to the realization that password encryption using the crypt function in linux, ONLY USES THE FIRST 8 CHARS. I have written routines using crypt allowing 16+ chars, and find that anything past 8 is ignored. Wow. Is there a way around this that can be used in dovecot, as well as

[Dovecot] mbox vs maildir

2010-09-18 Thread Jim Pazarena
I've had clients 'request' nested folders, and it would seem that maildir is designed with that ability while with mbox it is difficult and.or impossible to implement (nested can be achieved; but not nested AND populated in each nest level). My question is, is one format 'better' than the other?
