[Dovecot] last login timestamp
by Oscar A. Jara 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hello, I am settiing up a dovecot (imap, pop, sieve, lda) + openldap infrastructure. I need to store the timestamp of the last login of each user in an attribute of its corresponding ldap object. I could not find a way of doing this through configuration options so I am thinking of coding this task into the dovecot-auth source code, maybe in the passdb-ldap.c file. What do you recomend about this? Thanks. __________ Information from ESET Mail Security, version of virus signature database 8278 (20130429) __________ The message was checked by ESET Mail Security. http://www.eset.com

[Dovecot] mailbox_list_index_parse_header crash
by Kyle Wheeler 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi, I got all excited about IMAP NOTIFY support and tried enabling mailbox_list_index on my server. Unfortunately, I rather quickly ran into trouble of the segfault variety. This prevented me from doing basic things like seeing the contents of some of my folders. Disabling mailbox_list_index got me back up and running, but... darnit, that's annoying. The only message I got in my log file was this: imap(user@domain): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 6899 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) If I can help track this down, please let me know. Here's the backtrace: #0 hash_table_insert_node (table=0x10eff60, key=0x103, value=0x10fd8b0, check_existing=<value optimized out>) at hash.c:268 node = 0x69616d2d746e6573 prev = 0x10fbee0 hash =

[Dovecot] Dovecot Solr Panic
by Andre Rodier 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hello Everyone, I have a small base of users (30), but a lot of emails. I have an error again when I am indexing a virtual folder with a large number of folders. I appreciate this is a special case, but I am using dovecot and solr as it is, according to the documentation, the favourite way. One user is using a large number of archives sub folders, by years, months and subfolders, since 5 years. I am convincing this user to give up this organisation, but in the mean time, I hope to solve this problem. The virtual folder, called Archives, references all the sub folders in the Archive folder. There is about 380 folders, and worst of all, 55k characters with their names concatenated. On solr, I have increased the value of headerBufferSize to a huge value, but I have still this error. Anyway, this is the error I have when I try to index this virtual folder: ---8<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- root@lapetus:/mnt/emails/indiefield.co.uk/jsmith/Mails/Virtual# doveadm -v index -u 'john smith' 'Search/Archives' doveadm(john smith): Info: Search/Archives: Caching mails seq=109580..127362 1800/17783doveadm(john smith): Panic: file solr-connection.c: line 416 (solr_connection_select): assertion failed: (!conn->posting) doveadm(john smith): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4414a) [0x7fcb7b5b014a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x2a) [0x7fcb7b5b020a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7fcb7b58782a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib21_fts_solr_plugin.so(+0x754a) [0x7fcb790fa54a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib21_fts_solr_plugin.so(+0x4037) [0x7fcb790f7037] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_fts_plugin.so(fts_backend_get_last_uid+0x5a) [0x7fcb79b2f66a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0xc1fd) [0x7fcb79b341fd] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0xc689) [0x7fcb79b34689] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0xc51e) [0x7fcb79b3451e] -> doveadm(+0x16719) [0x7fcb7bf71719] -> doveadm(+0x13346) [0x7fcb7bf6e346] -> doveadm(+0x13e21) [0x7fcb7bf6ee21] -> doveadm(doveadm_mail_try_run+0x161) [0x7fcb7bf6f2e1] -> doveadm(main+0x3d1) [0x7fcb7bf6def1] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7fcb7b200ead] -> doveadm(+0x13125) [0x7fcb7bf6e125] Aborted ---8<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the solr side: ---8<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28-Apr-2013 17:13:33 org.apache.solr.update.processor.LogUpdateProcessor finish INFO: {add=[1/70af772eafc17c51fb350000812a8a77/john smith(a)indiefield.co.uk, 2/70af772eafc17c51fb350000812a8a77/john smith(a)indiefield.co.uk, 3/70af772eafc17c51fb350000812a8a 77/john smith(a)indiefield.co.uk, 4/70af772eafc17c51fb350000812a8a77/john smith(a)indiefield.co.uk, 5/70af772eafc17c51fb350000812a8a77/john smith(a)indiefield.co.uk, 6/70af772ea fc17c51fb350000812a8a77/john smith(a)indiefield.co.uk, 7/70af772eafc17c51fb350000812a8a77/john smith(a)indiefield.co.uk, 8/70af772eafc17c51fb350000812a8a77/john smith@indiefie ld.co.uk, ...

Im using the same configuration file against my MySQL db and getting the following error: doveconf -n # 2.2.1: /opt/dovecot221/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /opt/dovecot221/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf line 2: Unknown setting: driver dovecot-sql.conf: # The mysqld.sock socket may be in different locations in different systems driver = mysql # Use "host= ... pass=foo#bar" if your password has '#' character connect = host=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock dbname=mydb user=username password=pass password_query = SELECT userid AS username, domain, password \ FROM users WHERE userid = '%n' AND domain = '%d' user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE userid = '%n' AND domain = '%d' home=/opt/ii/%1n/%n/INBOX # For using doveadm -A: iterate_query = SELECT userid AS username, domain FROM users That file worked fine in the last version. Looking at the docs 'driver' is still a valid setting. Can someone help me figure out why its complaining? Ive even Im lost as to why this error is occuring unless the error itself is actually another problem and the wrong error is popping up. Been working on this for a day and cant figure it out. Thanks in advance! /mf/home/jeep/shell/.signature

[Dovecot] Replication fails with "Remote dsync doesn't use compatible protocol"
by Rich Wales 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

I can't get replication to work in Dovecot 2.2.1. I'm getting the following error on the machine where I'm initiating the replication: richatwork dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(richatwork): Error: dsync(local): Remote dsync doesn't use compatible protocol Both the local and remote servers are running identical versions of Dovecot (2.2.1), so I don't understand why I would be having any sort of "compatible protocol" problem. Any ideas? I posted the "dovecot -n" output for both servers in my earlier e-mail on this issue, which I sent about 24 hours ago (and which I assume was too long for people to be willing to read).

[Dovecot] ios clients and namespace trouble
by Kelsey Cummings 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

We migrated to dovecot from courier and maintained a courier compatible namespace configuration. This resulted in ios clients needing to be manually configured in order to use the special folders correctly (delete messages, save drafts, etc) either by being given the correct "Path Prefix" or by manually selecting the special folders. I can't fathom why apple has chosen not to support or can't detect namespace correctly and require manual configuration but if they haven't done it by now they must have some reason for it and aren't going to fix it any time soon. Are there any creative solutions to fixing the i-clients and preventing them from needing manual configuration? -K

Sorry i am a bit of a noob, the docs don't explain clearly what to do...

[Dovecot] Replication -- multiple users, three or more servers?
by Rich Wales 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

I'm running Dovecot 2.2.1 on an Ubuntu 12.04.2 server, with half a dozen accounts for various family members. I want to set up replication involving at least three Ubuntu servers, with different users replicated on different sets of servers. For example, I might have mail for "user1" replicated on "server1", "server2", and "server3"... while mail for "user2" would be on "server1" and "server2"... and mail for "user3" would be on "server1" and "server3". I've read the wiki page (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication) but I'm still confused. I'd love to see an example that clearly shows how to set up specific individual mail users to be replicated on a different set of servers for each user, like what I described above.

[Dovecot] login crashes - maybe too many simultan connections
by Frank Leonhardt 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Hallo, since a few days, users sometimes have problems connecting to our mailserver, in the mail.err are many lines like this: Apr 23 11:14:25 psy2 dovecot: dovecot: child 17607 (login) killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) (ip=xx.xx.146.84) Users who are already logged in keep connected, but new connections are not possible.This happens only between 10 am and 3 pm, never in the early morning or at night, so i assume, maybe this is caused by too many simultaneous connections? After restarting dovecot the problem is temporary solved, new users may connect, but after one or a few days, this may happen again. # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.1 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: alle mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir fsync_disable: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam args: dovecot userdb: driver: passwd May anybody help?

[Dovecot] Strange issue with doveadm user
by Antoine Nguyen 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Dear all, I encounter a strange issue with the *doveadm user* command. (dovecot 2.1.16) I try to retrieve information about a specific user but dovecot says it doesn't exist (whereas I just created it). The following command fails: $ sudo -u vmail doveadm user pouet(a)domain.tld userdb lookup: user pouet(a)domain.tld doesn't exist If I try a more global lookup, the user is properly found: $ sudo -u vmail doveadm user *(a)domain.tld user1(a)domain.tld *pouet(a)domain.tld* Sending a query for another user works well. For example : $ sudo -u vmail doveadm user user1(a)domain.tld userdb: user1(a)domain.tld home : /var/vmail/domain.tld/user1 uid : 500 gid : 500 quota_rule: *:bytes=100M I really don't understand what's happening... The only difference I see between the users is that user1 was created when I was using dovecot 1.2... Thanks for your help.

[Dovecot] Feature request: Configure CONFIG_MODULE_DIR and AUTH_MODULE_DIR at runtime
by Rickard Nilsson 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi! I am running dovecot 2.1.16 on NixOS (http://nixos.org) and I have been fighting the dynamically loaded dovecot modules/plugins a bit. The problem is that in Nix/NixOS all packages are completely isolated from each other (each package has a separate /lib, /libexec, /bin etc, with only its own files in it). So dovecot has all its modules under /nix/store/xxx-dovecot/{lib,libexec}/dovecot, and the Pigeonhole modules are under /nix/store/yyy-pidgeonhole/{lib,libexec}/dovecot. Now, dovecot wants to load modules only from one directory, so I created a "virtual" package that unifies all modules in /nix/store/zzz-dovecot-plugins/{lib,libexec}/dovecot. I can then use this directory as the "mail_plugin_dir" setting in dovecot.conf. This works fine, dovecot can then find the "sieve" mail plugin. The problem is the service and auth modules, that dovecot tries to load from the compile-time set MODULE_DIR/{settings,auth}. This is a problem for me, because I can't set the module path during compilation since that introduces a circular dependency between the dovecot package and the virtual dovecot-plugins package. I have solved this by hacking dovecot to read an environment variable, DOVECOT_CONFIG_MODULE_DIR, in the config_parse_load_modules function. This way I can inject my module path during runtime. But this only works for the master process, not the config process which seems to reset its environment (I assume it does this when dropping privileges). So I did another hack which lets me pass an argument to the config process which contains the module path. I can then set this argument in dovecot.conf by "service config { executable = config /my/module/path }". These hacks work, and I can now use both the sieve mail plugin and the sieve service. I have attached the patch, but this is not a request to add it to the source. My hack is a hack because I don't know enough about the inner workings of dovecot to solve it in a good way. Rather, I'm asking for some way to configure the module path in dovecot, either as an argument to the master process or as a setting in dovecot.conf. A bonus would be the ability to specify several paths that dovecot would search, then I can do away with my virtual module package. Best regards, Rickard Nilsson

I understand that the +x workaround suggested for the auth-userdb socket (so as to have 0777 permissions instead of 0666) relies on provisions made in Dovecot's code in order to relax some requirements. But I still need help for a correct interpretation... The socket receives 0666 permissions by default; any process should thus be able to read from/write to that socket. So, why set such a default, since it is anyway going to yield un-intuitive results? And, as far as the log messages are concerned: "client doesn't have lookup permissions...". Who's the client here? Still from the log: "client doesn't have lookup permissions for this user:". Which user? "userdb reply doesn't contain uid" The userdb query seems to have failed; but does it mean that is should explicitly return a uid?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.1.16: "default_client_count" written to the logs

Hello, As to be expected with low system limits, a warning may be written to the logs: master: Warning: fd limit (ulimit -n) is lower than required under max. load (256 < 1000), because of default_client_count Shouldn't it read "default_client_limit" instead of "default_client_count"? It seems that the warning is written only when reloading Dovecot, not upon Dovecot's startup. Is this deliberate? Thanks, Axel

[Dovecot] Integrate mbox into mdbox
by lutz.niederer＠gmx.net 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi! I have several mbox files (unstructured, only the big plain mbox files) and I would like to integrate/read these mbox files into mdbox subfolders of specific users. This is a production system and I don't want to disturb running services and I am a bit afraid of not using the right command and maybe destroying (or whatever) their mailboxes. I am sure it is pretty easy. Can someone please tell me the correct dsync command line that I should use to read each mbox file (one-way) into the specific folder of the mdbox folder structure of a specific user? Thanks a lot, -lutzn

[Dovecot] Using dsync to export mail to remote IMAP account
by Joseph Tam 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

I've read the web/man pages on dsync, but it's not clear to me whether dsync can be used to export (rather than import) a user's mailbox to a remote non-dovecot IMAP account. (The intention is to use it whenever a user leaves and wants to copy their local mail to Google or whatever. I currently use uw-imapd's mailutil -- it works, but it's dreadfully slow.) As a first crack at it, I tried (on the dovecot server) dsync -o imapc_user=remoteuser -o imapc_password=remotepassword -o imapc_host=remote-imap-server -o imapc_port=993 -o imapc_ssl=imaps -o imapc_features=rfc822.size -o imapc_list_prefix=remoteprefix -o mailbox_list_index=no backup -f -u localuser imapc: I got this error: dsync(localuser): Error: user localuser: Initialization failed: Namespace '': Unknown mail storage driver imapc dsync(localuser): Fatal: User init failed Is exporting mail to a remote (non-dovecot) IMAP account even doable with dsync, or am I completely off-track?

[Dovecot] Dovecot Failover
by Nikolaos Milas 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Hello, Assuming we have two (low traffic) servers (on different data centers) replicated using dsync, what is the best way to automatically direct users to the main server when it is up and to the redundant one when the main server is down? Using DNS? I've seen that DNS-based failover has generally issues (for example: http://serverfault.com/questions/60553/why-is-dns-failover-not-recommended, which is informative although it refers to web servers). What is the suggested approach? HAProxy? Heartbeat/Pacemaker? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks and regards, Nick

[Dovecot] Sieve - BCC

Hi ! Can you help me please with sieve plugin for dovecot I have this rule: /require ["variables", "envelope", "fileinto", "subaddress", "imap4flags"]; if anyof ( address :is [ "to", "cc", "bcc" ] "test(a)example.com", envelope :contains "to" "test(a)example.com" ) { fileinto "Test"; stop; }/ and if somebody sends me an email with "test(a)example.com" in "TO" or "CC" - then sieve works properly and put this email in Test folder, but i can't understand why if it sends e-mail to "test(a)example.com" in BCC - sieve don't move it to Test but leave it in Inbox? If i run sieve-test -faD .dovecot.sieve "Message-ID" i get: /Performed actions: * store message in folder: Test Implicit keep: (none) sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success/ but in dovecot log i get: /Info: sieve: msgid=<20130421074437.570EA2BA1C1F(a)mail.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX'/ and email is going to Inbox folder, instead Test. Please tell me what i am doing wrong and how i can make sieve to work properly with BCC.

I set a specific ipv6 address in global listen, but use [::] in proto Testing to a secondary IP, not in the global listen, it still connects, so can I ask has the original use of global listen been deprecated? ciao

[Dovecot] Moving mail servers, moving mailboxes
by Gregory Sloop 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

So, I've done some searching - but search terms are hard to come by, that work, for this query. In short, migrating a RHEL 5.9 server running the back-ported Dovecot 1.0.7 To: Ububtu 12.04 with 2.0.19, I believe. [I'm not against compiling a more recent version if there's some real advantage to doing so. But I'd certainly prefer to stay with the packaged version.] Most users are POP3, with some leaving messages on the server for a while. Other users are IMAP - whole mail repository on server. --- In an ideal world, I'd like to simply copy all the mailboxes/dirs from one server to the other. [Local/LAN file copies are possible] It would be great if the message ID's wouldn't change, so the read/unread/new etc status all all the messages wouldn't change between the two servers for POP/IMAP. --- So, does anyone have a reasonable walk-through for doing so? Is this a poor idea? Should I simply set myself on fire now and save everyone a lot of hassle? :) Would you suggest an alternative, and tell me if it might achieve the objectives above? I'm more than glad to take pointers to threads on this topic. I just haven't been able to dredge this up with my Google-foo. TIA -Greg

There are 4 accounts in my setup that need to be accessed simultaneously by 5-6 PCs on a local lan. The thing is if a user A updates, deletes, flags mail messages in the imap folders the changes don't get propagated to the other mail clients. To state this clearly, PC (A) thunderbird has an account SALES, Maildir etc PC (B) thunderbird also has the SALES account. Changes from PC (A) and vice-versa like marks,deletes, or moves mails around will randomly get propagated to PC (B) Sometimes they do sometimes they don't.

[Dovecot] Dovecot and port forwarding
by Slawomir Wawak 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hello! I try to configure POP3s with Dovecot. My mail server is behind router and I forward 995 port from router to mail server. POP3s works ok when I log directly to 995 on server. Unfortunately, it shows nothing when I log from outside. It happens also when the firewall is off. All I can see in log is this: Apr 19 13:39:43 hostname dovecot: pop3-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before/accept initialization [123.123.123.123] Apr 19 13:39:43 hostname dovecot: pop3-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before/accept initialization [123.123.123.123] Apr 19 13:39:43 hostname dovecot: pop3-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: unknown state [123.123.123.123] Apr 19 13:39:43 hostname dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Apr 19 13:39:43 hostname dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=17056) Apr 19 13:39:47 hostname dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=123.123.123.123, lip=10.0.0.2, TLS handshaking: Disconnected (hostname and IPs changed) My config: # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-40-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS auth_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail passdb { driver = pam } protocols = pop3 service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3s { address = * } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_ssl = yes I think it might be something related to SSL, but what?

You can sort of get that from the logs.

[Dovecot] Slooow imap copy to "Sent" folders
by Frank Bonnet 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hello Many users here use the "copy to Sent folder" using the IMAP protocol with Dovecot 2.1.15 on a FresBSD 9 server. Since few days this operation ( copy to sent folder ) became longer than before , it could takes several seconds to complete even the message is very short. Is there a parameter I could tweak to boost this a bit ? may users complain with reason thank you

[Dovecot] Problem with "convert" Plugin
by Andreas Schnederle-Wagner - Futureweb.at 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hello, I got a Problem with the "convert" Plugin. Trying to convert from mbox to maildir Format. OS: CentOS release 5.8 (Final) dovecot -version: 1.0.7 (Centos RPM) convert Plugin call: convert_mail = mbox:/opt/pop3/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u When converting to maildir - POP3 works fine (except the lost UIDL - so every server-saved message is double downloaded - but did not find any fix for this problem with convert plugin) But the IMAP In-Boxes give me some headache . All Folders are converted correct - and displayed in Mail Client. But all Mails in the IMAP INBOX are "lost" (at least Mail Client won't show them anymore) Newly delivered Mails to the Inbox work - but all older ones are missing. When looking into this Folder: /var/maildata/USER/Maildir/cur/ I can see that newly delivered mails look like this: 1366122898.14776_0.SERVERNAME:2, And the old - converted ones like this: 1366119758.P14442Q12M682874.SERVERNAME:2, Can someone point me in the right direction why the converted Mails are missing? (It worked on other Servers - about 1 year ago - without any problem?!)

[Dovecot] qmail-ldap LDA Delivery and sieve
by Ruda Porto Filgueiras 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hi, I'm using dovecot 2.1.7 on debian Squeeze with ldap integration. Almost everything is working fine and I would link to thank all developers for this amazing piece of software. But after changing my qmail-ldap to do LDA integration get all the benefits from LDA and sieve, some emails return with failure like this: <sar(a)mondialline.com.br>: lda(sar): Fatal: Unknown argument: sar Usage: dovecot-lda [-c <config file>] [-a <address>] [-d <username>] [-p <path>] [-f <envelope sender>] [-m <mailbox>] [-e] [-k] It happens on messanges that could not be delivered and need to be returned to the sender. I'm using the configuration described on wiki to do qmail-ldap integration: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/qmailldap The relevant delivery command is: | /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -a $RECIPIENT -f $SENDER -d $USER I also tried to use this way, as documented here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Qmail | /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda But in that case, some sieve plugins can't detect the mail recipient, like vacation plugin. Finally, the vacation plugin also is not doing email forwarding when I use the first delivery option above.

[Dovecot] Multiple Logins on same accounts from different stations
by HL 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hi, all I've recently upgraded to 2.1.16 and found my self in deep .... There are 4 accounts in my setup that need to be accessed simultaneously by 5-6 PCs on a local lan. The thing is if a user A updates, deletes, flags mail messages in the imap folders the changes don't get propagated to the other mail clients. To state this clearly, PC (A) thunderbird has an account SALES, Maildir etc PC (B) thunderbird also has the SALES account. Changes from PC (A) and vice-versa like marks,deletes, or moves mails around will randomly get propagated to PC (B) Sometimes they do sometimes they don't. This never occured with previous version 1.2.xx I am attaching my doveconf -a output .. Please Help, Thanks in advance Harry

[Dovecot] Pros and cons of having folders under INBOX vs. not
by Rich Wales 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

I have some questions about whether I should set up folders under INBOX vs. having them outside the INBOX namespace. I'm setting up a new Dovecot 2.2.0 on an Ubuntu 12.04.2 server. My plan is to move my users (family members) to this new server from an old Cyrus server. Everybody is currently using (and will continue to use) IMAP, and either Thunderbird or SquirrelMail as their e-mail client. I'm using the maildir mailbox format on this new Dovecot server. No one is using the new Dovecot server yet, so I'm still free to do additional tweaking of the server configuration. When I used imapsync to copy everyone's mail to the new server, I found that all the folders (other than INBOX) were renamed. On the old Cyrus server, all the folders are subfolders of INBOX, but the folders on the new Dovecot server are not. (For example, a folder named "INBOX.Dovecot" on the old server was renamed to "Dovecot" on the new server by the imapsync utility.) Can I just keep things this way on the new server? Or are my users going to run into problems if folders are not all under INBOX? I do realize that IMAP servers can be set up either to put everything under INBOX, or not, but I'm not familiar with all the pros/cons. And if I do need (or want) to put all the folders under INBOX, can I simply rename the existing folders in each user's Maildir (and also edit folder names accordingly in everyone's "subscriptions" file)? Or will Dovecot be broken unless I recopy everything from scratch (with a command-line option to imapsync to put everything in the INBOX destination namespace)? Rich Wales richw(a)richw.org

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2 & LEMONADE extensions
by Jan Phillip Greimann 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hi there, I read an article about dovecot 2.2, which includes the LEMONADE extensions, and was fascinated about the feature "Forward without download". We have a small internet-uplink in our office and our CEO loves to receive mails with large attachments, he also reply/forward it, so every time the full attachments get downloaded and uploaded again. Now the question is: Is LEMONADE supported by desktop-mailclients like thunderbird or just mobile Clients? (Google said nothing to this, maybe searched the wrong words) I hope someone can help me with this. Greetings, Jan

[Dovecot] Maildirs location migration
by Thomas Hummel 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hello Timo, I'm using dovecot-2.1.15 with Maildir mailboxes located on an NFS filer. Postfix is used to deliver mail through procmail ("mailbox_command) as LDA. Our team has bought another filer and everything is meant to go on it, so we're planning to migrate those mailboxes to the new filer. To test it only on a subset of users, I ended up to the following solution : 1. keep new messages in postfix mailqueue for those users (via a service and a transport) 2. prevent new dovecot authentication for those users (via the "auth-deny" passwd-file type passdb) 3. doveadm kick those users 4. copy or rsync the mailboxes 5. symlink maildir, control and indexes directories to the new filer (nfs mounted on the mail server) 6. re-enable mail delivery and imap authentication I was wondering if such a migration could be done differently in order to be seamless to the user : - for the postfix part, it would be easy, I guess, to create a new service (and a new transport map using this service) to deliver to the new location - but for the imap part, I'm not sure if it can be done. My guess is that, if feasible, it would involve some namespace settings and a dsync copy but I cannot figure out how exactly. What do you think ?

[Dovecot] process_limit must be 1
by FABIO FERRARI 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hello, recently I have migrated a dovecot configuration from a Red Hat 5 to a CentOS 6. Since the versions of dovecot are quite the same (dovecot-2.0.1-1_118.el5 vs dovecot-2.0.9-5.el6.x86_64), I was thinking that copying the configurations file from one server to the other was a good thing, but instead, when I try to start the service, I have this bad error: Avvio di Dovecot Imap: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: service(anvil): process_limit must be 1 Does anyone know why I am getting this? Is there a change in configurations between the 2 versions, is it a known issue or I have to check something else? thanks in advance Fabio Ferrari

How can i find out why this works > but using shard-libs doesn't? Probably specific to the mips/linaro/something tools that you're using. Have you tried that v2.1 still compiles? The best way to figure out why it works and v2.2 doesn't would be to find the specific commit from v2.2 that broke it. http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BisectExtension could make finding that easier.

[Dovecot] Delete_to_Trash plugin and quota problem
by BINOTTO Luis SIDOR 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hello list... I am new at dovecot and I have a problem with it; any help will be very grateful We have a exchange server with outlook at the client side, and we are migrating the exchange server to postfix/dovecot(1.2.15) solution. I enabled the "deleted-to-trash" plugin (v0.3) to move the messages to the Trash folder automatically when it is deleted. Also, I am using quota and quota_imap plugins to maintain the quota for users. The quota rule for Trash folder is unlimit. The problem is, when the client reach their maximum quota and try to delete a mail in the inbox to release space. The delete to trash plugin effectively copy it to the Trash folder, but the original mail still remain (marked for delete) at the inbox folder and the quota does not released.

[Dovecot] Sync errors trying to sync old mbox inboxes to dovecot
by Michael Smith 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

We are currently running dovecot 2.2.rc3. I am trying to 'dsync mirror' old Qpopper/mbox inboxes to our new Dovecot/mdbox servers. For most of the several thousand accounts, it works without issue. But there are a handful of accounts that are generating the following errors. dsync(joe): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/joe/inbox: seq=981 uid=981 uid_broken=0 originally needed 9 bytes, now needs 11 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=115028 uid=115028 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114779 uid=114779 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114778 uid=114778 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114621 uid=114621 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114610 uid=114610 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114607 uid=114607 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=113993 uid=113993 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=113868 uid=113868 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=113855 uid=113855 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=46725 uid=46725 uid_broken=0 originally needed 32 bytes, now needs 34 bytes What exactly is this error indicating and how can I fix it?
