[binc] Mail Loop?

[binc] Notice: Please resubscribe to the mailing list

Hi, everyone.

As part of fighting the ongoing spam problem on this mailing list, we've
decided to switch to a different server, running different software.

A good thing is that the new server has higher reliability than the
existing server. Another good thing is that it's running Mailman, which
has an easy-to-use interface for configuring, for example, post-only
subscription.

You need to resubscribe to the new mailing list software. The reason we
are doing this is not technical, rather it's because spammers have
registered an unknown number of fake addresses to this list, and we can't
tell the good ones from the bad ones.

You can subscribe here:

https://lists.su.se/mailman/listinfo/binc
https://lists.su.se/mailman/listinfo/binc-dev
https://lists.su.se/mailman/listinfo/binc-news

Hopefully this will be a painless transition for you all. After this email
has been sent, the @bincimap.org emails will go to the new server. See you
all on the new lists!

Re: [binc] Notification of Limited Account Access

Isn't it possible to get a subscriber-only-posting policy on this list?
This is insane..

[binc] patches for an stricter world, and x86-64.

hi, the following patches are been used by t2-project.org (a framework 
to develop distributions forked from ROCKLinux) to build bincimap on gcc 
4 and for x86-64.

http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/mail/bincimap/errno.patch
http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/mail/bincimap/uninitialized-fix.patch
http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/mail/bincimap/x86-64-compile-fix.patch

they are very simple, i hope you accept them.

long life to BincIMAP ,-)

[binc] The mailing list archives are now available!

Hi, everyone!

After some time of disaster recovery after hardware failure, and a fair 
amount of lazyness from my side, we now have a fully functional web 
archive of all mailing lists again.

Example: http://www.bincimap.andreas.hanssen.name/archive/?0::2487

Enjoy!

Thanks for the debug... btw, change your password and next time cut out
the authentication part of the output might be a good idea.

I don't have time right now to check this but I will tomorrow.

[binc] Reverse DNS for list server

Hello,

It appears the Binc mailing list server doesn't have a properly 
configured reverse record:

acb <at> illyria:/$ host mx0.andreas.hanssen.name
mx0.andreas.hanssen.name has address 217.144.230.29
acb <at> illyria:/$ host 217.144.230.29
Host 29.230.144.217.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Mailing list matter seems to originate from 217.144.230.29.

Please note that RFC 1912 recommends reverse records for all IP 
addresses ("For every IP address, there should be a matching PTR 
record in the in-addr.arpa domain.").

I hope this will be fixed soon.

Regards,
Anders

[binc] crashes and corruption on 1.3.4

hi, i have been using 1.2 with qmail-ldap for a looong time flawlessly, 
and i love it. but since monday i'm using 1.3.4.

i have two problems.

the first, when i try to move big mails using MUA it binc crashes:
@4000000043a18b3a387a6d6c terminate called after throwing an instance of 
'std::bad_alloc'
@4000000043a18b3a39090554   what():  St9bad_alloc
@4000000043a18b3b069d88ec <amery <at> geeks.cl> authentication failed: server 
died by signal 6

the second, i get some mails corrupted on MUAs.
example:
260K    cur/1089304815.R635723058M985755P26643Q33.ferrari:2,S
has an image attached, but in the middle of the enconded image the 
header starts again, then the image and in the middle, the header and loop.

25 parts where only 2 exist on disc (local reiserfs3), and useless data 
rendered on thunderbird.

anyone experiencing this issues? anything i can do to find the cause?

there is any env var i can export to get bincimap-up and bincimapd not 
silent on --log-type=multilog ?

[binc] Marking messages as read doesn't "work"

I use MS Entourage on OS X to check my email. I have three IMAP accounts
that I routinely check. One is on an exchange server, another a Cyrus IMAP
server and finally a Binc IMAP server.

Every morning I get 4 status emails to my binc server that I quickly read.
Entourage marks these messages as read and then a few minutes later it will
set the unread count for Inbox to >1. I click on Inbox and wait a few
seconds as it figures out that at least one (and sometimes more) of the
messages I had just read are now marked unread again.

This doesn't happen with any other IMAP server I've ever used with any MUA
I've ever played with. I haven't tried to repro this with another MUA on
binc simply because I'm lazy.

Any ideas? I'm happy to provide more information I just don't necessarily
know what is relevant.

[binc] Using binc over ssh

Hi,

Is it possible to use Binc IMAP over ssh? I guess really the question is
can a user manually run a Binc IMAP daemon on the terminal. If so then
it should work over ssh as well.

As an example, Evolution lets you configure a 'Custom command to connect
to server' and the example is:

  ssh -C -l %u %h exec /usr/sbin/imapd

This should let me use imap securely over SSH without needing to input
my password. I already have it working over imaps but tire of entering
my password each time I start evo. Also it would mean I could access
mail remotely (I don't expose imap/s externally).

I've tried a whole bunch of variations of the above command running
bincimapd and bincimap-up and nothing I've tried works. If it is
possible, what command should I use?

Cheers,

Martin.
