Re: [Dovecot] Alerts when process limits are met

Hi, Thanks. I used monit, and will code something up of that kind - but I was curious as to whether dovecot had something built in; external monitoring is a somewhat blunter tool, as you don't get to know exactly why there was a problem unless you also parse the logs. Tricky to investigate this kind of issue - it has only happened once, and I had a few hundred people trying to log in, so no time to start debugging! But if it recurs I'll be back to ask for guidance...

[Dovecot] Testing process?
by leam hall 01 Sep '12

01 Sep '12

Morning all! Total newbie question. I'm learning Dovecot and will be plugging in a few things and testing it end to end. What test structures or tools are available for making sure the install is correct and the parameters are taken? Thanks! Leam -- Mind on a Mission <http://leamhall.blogspot.com/>

[Dovecot] Dovecot generate file when over quota detected
by Dominic Malolepszy 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hi, I am curious if Dovecot can add an empty file into a Maildir folder as soon as a mailbox has exceeded 100% capacity, and later when it detects the quota has fallen below 100% unlink the file. The idea is the Dovecot LDA would deliver the message and if this caused the mailbox to reach 100%+, add a file into the maibox say "username/Maildir/overquota". Interactions via Dovecot IMAP/POP3 that lower the mailbox usage, for example the user popping, or deleting mail from the mailbox would trigger Dovecot to unlink the file. This means that an MTA can efficiently check for the existence of this 'overquota' file and return a "user(a)domain.com Mailbox full" TEMPFAIL error early during the SMTP transaction prior to accepting any data.

[Dovecot] LDAP auth and multiple attributes to construct the mail path
by Anatoly Ivanov 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hello, So I am trying to construct mail path for my LDAP user lookups, and i need to use two attributes instead of one. For examle, my LDAP directory has two attributes: departmentAttr and userIDAttr, and I want the maildir to reside in /home/${departmentAttr}/${userIDAttr} Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find a way to configure dovecot this way. Right now, I have something like user_attrs = departmentAttr=mail=maildir:/home/%$/%u But %u is the username (which in my environment can easily change, so I cannot use this for maildir location). Any ideas on how to achieve that? So far I have just one brute-force solution - to create an attribute MailDirAttr, and populate it with concatenation of departmentAttr+'/'+userIDAttr by means of a scheduled task. This sounds like unnecessary information duplication, which is usually a very bad practice. So, again - any ideas? Thank you, Anatoly.

[Dovecot] Variables in LDAP userdb
by Alex Crow 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hi Timo, Is it OK to have dovecot variables in entries in an LDAP userdb? Say I wanted to set the mail userdb parameter to override mail_location, would it work by having an entry in LDAP (eg for mailMessageStore attrib) like: mdbox:/home/email/%d/%n:INDEX=/home/indexes/%d/%1n/%n:ALT=/home/email_archive/%d/%1n/%n and those % variables will still be expanded by dovecot? Or would I be required to replace them in the LDAP directory with their actual values? Cheers Alex -- This message is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential information.

[Dovecot] doveadm commands returning 139 at director servers
by Angel L. Mateo 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hello, I have configured director in front of dovecot imap/pop/lmtp servers. When I need to manipulate a user mailbox, I use doveadm commands at director server's, with -S option. But some commands return exit code 139 when command returns more than 40 entries (I think). For example, the command: sudo doveadm fetch -u amateo hdr mailbox Trash HEADER Subject "nyctalus11/" executed at the backend server returns 952 mails, but executed at director server with -S option, returns only 40 mails and exit code 139. I'm using dovecot 2.1.5 and I attached doveconf -n at director and backend servers. -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] IMAP IDLE - iPhone?
by dovecot＠noboost.org 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hi All, Probably a very common question now days. I'd like to configure our iPhones at work to go directly to my dovecot server (currently dovecot-2.0.9-2.el6_1.1.x86_64). Using the IMAP IDLE (push email) protocol. Has anyone successfully deployed this? If yes, did you have to use an app from the Apple store? For me the IMAP process works, however it's clearly not notifying the client when new email is detected on the server. cya Craig

These logs appear to relate to problems with the director.

This seems to show up when I enable the poolmon script (https://github.com/brandond/poolmon) on all the servers, and all servers start simultaneous logins to each others Dovecot backends. I did notice that the poolmon script has been flapping vhost weights a lot (I am looking at making the script handle transient errors better), which means that it is connecting to the dovecot-director socket every few minutes and changing vhost weights from 100 to 0 and vice-versa.

[Dovecot] Size of Mailbox affecting the sending of mail?
by Tim Smith 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Hi, I didn't know where to post this one so I'll start off with you guys and then try Postfix if I'm barking up the wrong tree! Having set up my mail server (Dovecot/Postfix), users are experiencing long delays (a couple of minutes) when sending mail from mail client such as Thunderbird - this increases with attachments. Having had a brief discussion with someone, they mentioned that the reason that this may be to do with the size of the mailbox. I couldn't see the rationale behind this unless Dovecot is syncing the mailbox after every sent mail (due to possibly saving the sent item?) The mail is being delivered successfully but the amount of time it is taking to complete the action is far too long! Sorry this is a bit vague but any advice on trying to diagnose the problem would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Tim

[Dovecot] quota: ignore deleted messages (?)
by Sven Hartge 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Hi! I am currently in the process of preparing a migration of our old Courier-based IMAP/POP server setup to a Dovecot-based one. During this process I came across the following problem with the difference Courier and Dovecot handle deleted messages and mail quota. Quote from http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/README.maildirquota.html: ,---- | The default application configuration that uses this maildirquota | library does not count deleted messages, and any contents of the Trash | folder, against the quota. Messages that are marked as deleted (but not | yet actually removed), or messages that are moved to the Trash folder | (which is subject to automatic purging) do not count towards the set | quota. `---- Ignoring the content (or increasing the quota) of the Trash folder is easy and no problem, but ignoring deleted messages seems impossible without changes to the code. While deleted messages are still stored on the server and still take up space until they are expunged, counting them against the quota is somewhat counter-intuitive because most clients don't show those mails and the normal user is unaware the mails he deleted are still there and take up space. Worse yet, if the client uses move-to-Trash, a user deleting mails will double the used space (until Expunge is used) and this may push him over his quota and thus cause any new mail delivery to fail. Unfortunately as our users are used to the courier way of handling the quota this will cause trouble after the migration. And this setup is run at a University, so I don't have any control over the clients a user uses and the behavior of said clients so I am not able to disable the move-to-Trash feature or force an immediate Expunge after a delete. So I propose an additional flag for the quota_rule config option to be able to enable a more lax interpretation of the quota enforcement: quota_rule = *:storage=1G:ignoredeleted quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M Of course I would then have a nightly cronjob which force-expunges all deleted messages so that users can't store mails infinitely in their mailboxes. Thanks for your time and Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.

[Dovecot] Deleting metadata smashes file dovecot.dict
by Andre Gröbe 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Hi, I am using dovecot (see dovecot -n output below) with metadata plugin in my own plugin. I want to insert and delete some large metadata (>4KiB). It seems, that the delete in a second call of my plugin smashes the file dovecot.dict in users dir: 1st call: *dovecot.dict is empty -delete metadata 1 -delete metadata 2 -insert metadata 1 ~8KiB -insert metadata 2 <1KiB *dovecot.dict contains two entries 2nd call: -delete metadata 1 -delete metadata 2 -insert metadata 1 ~8KiB -insert metadata 2 <1KiB *dovecot.dict contains the two entries + some waste If all eight steps are called together (in the same plugin context) the file dovecot.dict seems to be ok. I have created a test plugin to reproduce this behaviour: <http://temp-share.com/show/dPf3myu5W>. It needs the notify and (patched) metadata plugin to run. To get it work i copy an email from one IMAP folder to another (to trigger the copy notifier). It seems, that there is an issue on writing metadata/dict, can anybody reproduce it or knows what is wrong? TIA -- Andre

[Dovecot] Sieve/pigeonhole rejects email addresses for valid UNIX users
by David Anderson 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Self-explanatory, I hope (note the period on the end of the username); sieve/pigeonhole does not allow you to have senders which end with a period, which means that any UNIX users with such usernames who send mail have it rejected by sieve: # useradd testuser. # su - testuser. $ mail david(a)example.com -s 'testing' 123 . [testuser.@levi ~]$ logout # less /var/log/maillog Aug 22 07:50:56 levi dovecot: lda(david(a)example.com): Error: sieve: envelope sender address 'testuser.(a)myhost.example.com' is unparsable Versions: dovecot-pigeonhole-0.2.6-21.el5 dovecot-managesieve-0.2.6-21.el5 dovecot-2.0.18-1_134.el5 Why would anyone have a UNIX username ending in a period? For one, web hosting companies may use your domain name as your username - but be subject to a 32-character limit, so your domain name gets truncated.

Firstly : my sieve filter test is the next one : /////////////////// require ["fileinto" , "variables" , "mailbox"]; if address :matches "Delivered-To" "*(a)*.*" { fileinto :create ".INBOX.iop" ; stop ; } //////////////////// I get in the log the following : "error: msgid=<****>: failed to store into mailbox '.INBOX.iop': Invalid mailbox name" And the email is stored in the INBOX (implicit keep was successful) I checked that "lda_mailbox_autocreate" and "lda_mailbox_autosubscribre" are set to "yes". Then , when this problem be solved, I would like to know if it is possible with the sieve plugin to implement the following algorithm : - extract the address from the header field "Delivered-To" and set the variable $delivto to this previous value. - extract the address from the header field "To" and set the variable $to to this previous value. - compare $delivto and $to : if they are diffrent, then redirect the email in the subfolder .INBOX.iop. Thank you for any help!

I've looked at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Mailbox and there a few features I like which javax.mail just doesn't have. Is there maybe a Java driver for doveadm? thanks, Thufir

[Dovecot] plugin development: retrieve username -d -f inside plugins
by Alano Conraz 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Hello, i don't know if it a the right place to ask my question related to the development of dovecot plugins, please correct me if it is not. I'm trying some dovecot plugin development. I did a little plugin that suit my needs but i'd like to go further now... I would like to know if there is a kind of "getenv" function that I could call to retrieve in my plugin the username of the mailbox being delivered by dovecot-lda or served by imap server. For example, when I use the deliver with "cat file.txt | deliver -d " user(a)domain.net" -f "me(a)domain.net" I would like to call a function that could return for me the argument of "-d" or "-f". i'm working with dovecot 2.0.17 by now. Thank you

[Dovecot] UIDPLUS for Maildir?

Hi, I found the following comment in the documentation (http://wiki.dovecot.org/FeatUIDPLUS) last edited on 2009-03-15 > Dovecot already supported UIDPLUS at one point for mbox, but implementing it > for Maildir has to be done differently (UIDs are allocated later with Maildir). > So currently the UIDPLUS code is removed until it can be made to > work with Maildir. My question: does this extension now run with maildir? Thank you, Martin

[Dovecot] dsync replication available for testing
by Timo Sirainen 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

In dovecot-2.1 hg you can now test dsync-based replication. Everything isn't finished yet, but it appears to work and I've enabled it for my @dovecot.fi mails. Some issues: - public namespace isn't replicated at all - shared namespace is replicated, but not private mail flags - I've only tested SSH replication setup now, not director replication setup (and director setup is still missing many things) - SSH replication setup uses aggregator process, which isn't really necessary and can probably be avoided in future Below is a configuration for virtual user setup. System user configuration works pretty much the same, except doveadm/ssh is run as root. Try first that dsync works successfully with ssh in host1: doveadm sync -u user@domain remote:vmail@host2.example.com and also in host2: doveadm sync -u user@domain remote:vmail@host1.example.com ------ mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify replication service aggregator { # give enough permissions for mail processes fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail mode = 0600 } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail mode = 0600 } } service replicator { # start replication at startup process_min_avail = 1 } plugin { # host1 replicates to host2 mail_replica = remote:vmail@host2.example.com # host2 replicates to host1 #mail_replica = remote:vmail@host1.example.com } #dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l%{login} %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%u -l%{lock_timeout} -n%{namespace} service doveadm { # if you're using a single virtual user, set this to # start ssh as vmail (not root) user = vmail }

[Dovecot] Shared mdboxes
by Wagner Michel Martins de Azevedo 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Hi Timo, I'm trying to share two folders. The first one it's public and the other is per user based, using acl's to control access etc . Dovecot create the folders, but when I'll subscribe using ThunderBird client both of them seens like watermarked and has a "mailboxes" folder inside. I can set up the acl's rules using Thunderbird. Log files like mail.log don't show nothing in special and mail.err has nothing. Here is the config. # 2.1.8 (b4cd382b6606): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf# OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.5 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10.mail.conf namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = public. location = mdbox:/var/mail_shares/public:INDEX=/var/mail_shares/public subscriptions = no}namespace { type = shared separator = . prefix = %h/shared location = mdbox:%h/shared:INDEX=%h/shared subscriptions = no list = children} Thanks, Wagner Azevedo

[Dovecot] enabling per user quota plugin and problems with pop3
by Angel L. Mateo 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Hello, I am configuring quota plugin per user, not for the whole system. As documentation says (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota) I have to add "quota" to the global mail_plugins and "imap_quota" to mail_plugins for protocol imap, but I don't know how to configure this in a userdb. I'm using a passwd-file in the way: <user>:{plain}password:<uid>:<gid>::<home>::userdb_mail_plugins=quota,imap_quota but this activate both plugins in the global mail_plugins option. The problem with this is that if the user tries to connect via pop3 instead of imap (a thing that I permit, although the user shouldn't do it) I have the error: Aug 20 10:04:18 myotis30 dovecot: pop3: Error: dlopen(/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so) failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so: undefined symbol: client_send_tagline is there any way to solve this problem? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] userdb multiple databases
by Angel L. Mateo 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hello, I'm trying to configure per user plugins. My original passdb and userdb is in a ldap directory (using userdb with prefetch). To configure per user plugins (in fact, I want to enable quota plugin for some users) I need to configure mail_plugins attribute in the userdb. The problem is that I don't know any ldap attribute to store this information (is there any schema with includes an attribute for this). So I want to configure it in a passwd-file file. My problem is that I don't know if I can chain userdb databases. I know I can configure multiple databases, but as far as I know, they are looked in order, so if the user is found in the first one, then is no look for the user in the second one, so I have to configure all user's attributes in the passwd-file database. Is there any way to chain these lookups? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] No status for INBOX/* in mbox NS (2.1.6)
by Jost Krieger 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Maybe it's fixed, but the last "interesting" text in the Changelog was before 2.1.6. Most of our users still have mboxes in the classical layout, so you can't have subfolders and messages in the same folder, *except for the INBOX*, as it is physically separate. Someone complained that he saw subfolders in roundcube he couldn't delete, because they didn't show up in the subscription view. Before hitting on roundcube, I mperformed a few checks and got the following: root@cx-y-z qmail # doveadm mailbox status -u usera messages 'INBOX/*' root@cx-y-z qmail # doveadm mailbox status -u usera messages 'INBOX/test1' INBOX/test1 messages=0 This is mysterious. It doesn't happen with my account, that is in a mdbox: root@cx-y-z qmail # doveadm mailbox status -u kriegjcb messages 'INBOX/*' INBOX/test1 messages=1 Our setup is a bit complicated, but most of it shouldn't be relevant to the problem. # 2.1.6: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.9-103.ELsmp i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 9) auth_first_valid_uid = 100 auth_master_user_separator = * dict { quota = mysql:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-dict-mysql.conf } disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 100 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes log_path = /dev/stderr log_timestamp = mail_access_groups = nofiles mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=~/Mailbox:INDEX=~/Index mail_plugins = " quota zlib mail_log notify virtual stats" mdbox_rotate_size = 5 M namespace { hidden = no inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes inbox = no list = children location = maildir:~/Maildir prefix = "#MD/" separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = virtual:~/Maildir/Virtual prefix = Virtual/ separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = virtual:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/virtuell:INDEX=~/Virtuell prefix = Virtuell/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = private } passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/passwd.dovcot.master driver = passwd-file master = yes } plugin { acl = vfile mail_log_events = undelete mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mailbox_create mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota quota2 = fs:Disk quota stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes } protocols = pop3 imap service auth { client_limit = 4300 user = root } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = nofiles mode = 0666 } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 542 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 134.147.64.38 port = 143 } service_count = 0 } service imap { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 2048 vsz_limit = 1 G } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { address = 134.147.64.38 port = 110 } service_count = 0 } service pop3 { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 2048 vsz_limit = 512 M } service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { mode = 0666 user = dovenull } } ssl = no stats_command_min_time = 5 mins stats_domain_min_time = 1 hours stats_ip_min_time = 1 hours stats_memory_limit = 64 M userdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = " quota zlib mail_log notify virtual stats imap_quota imap_zlib imap_stats" } Thanks Jost Krieger -- | Helft Spam ausrotten!

[Dovecot] For the wishlist
by Jost Krieger 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

I would like very much to have a "doveadm copy", which probably could be made out of "doveadm move" by removing ca. 2 lines (and changing a few strings from "move" to "copy"). This would make it a lot easier to script quite a few things without using a real imap client. I can run around this by doing an import followed by a move but this will duplicate the mails (even when using mdbox). Mit freundlichen Grüßen Jost Krieger -- | Helft Spam ausrotten!

[Dovecot] Dovecot / Win8 Mail App Folder Subscription Issue
by Adam Rosi-Kessel 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Win8 RTM Mail App now supports IMAP. I am running Dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian Stable server. The App works fine except the list of folders displayed seems to be a random subset of all my folders. I can't figure out how it's picking which folders to show, or how to change what's subscribed. Editing the "subscriptions" folder in ~/Maildir/ doesn't seem to have any impact. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or narrow done this issue? I posted to a Microsoft forum but was told the Mail App will only support official email providers.

by Frank Kirschner 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hello List, I'm still running dovecot in version 1.1.7 No I have setup a new installation with dovecot 2.0.9 and had running some tests with a testdomain. Everything is working well. The Maildir has exactly the same structure like ../domain/username/... Can I copy the whole maildir to the new server? Logical that I have also to move the SMTP network configuration to the new machine. best regards Frank

[Dovecot] doveadm director move behaviour
by Angel L. Mateo 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hi, I have a director farm running in front of dovecot pop/imap servers. For a reason, one of my backend servers have been down, so poolmon disables it in director servers and users corresponding to it has been sent to other servers. Until this, no problem. Now my failed backend server is up again, and I want to redirect all of its users to it, without waiting for it director sessions to end. So I have used doveadm director move <user> <backend ip> to move them to its "hashed" server. Although a doveadm director status <user> now shows me that this user is directed to the new server, doveadm who in the temporal server shows me that the user is actually connected to it, although messages are delivered to it through is correct server. So I have had to manually kick that users in the temporal servers. Is this the expected behaviour of the move command for director? Is there any way to also force the kick of the imap/pop user's connection in the temporal server? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] more dsync issues
by Jeff Gustafson 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

It hit another dsync snag. We have a script that executes a dsync backup command to a remote host. No write should be happening on the remote host (the backup host). The error is: dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: remote: dsync-remote(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: Can't delete mailbox INBOX: INBOX can't be deleted. dsync-remote(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: command MSG-SAVE failed dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: Unexpected reply from server: dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again. We're currently running 2.1.7 since > 2.1.8 causes a problem with our webmail software. ...Jeff

[Dovecot] blf-crypt
by Sven Schwyn 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hi The blf-crypt password schema mentioned in the docs could be a solution to my auth problem. However, the docs state that actual support depends on the glibc. Mine apparently doesn't. Does support depend on the glibc's version (mine is 2.15-r2)? Maybe someone with access to a box with a good enough glibc could do the following and post the hash for the plain password "test"? doveadm pw -s BLF-CRYPT Enter new password: test With this I could verify whether the BLF-CRYPT scheme would solve my problem in the first place without going through the hassle of upping the glibc. Thanks a bunch!

[Dovecot] difference between namespace auto=subscribe and autocreate plugin
by Igor Zinovik 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello. I read docs, but still do not understand difference between following configuration options: namespace inbox { # Create and subscribe to folder mailbox Drafts { auto=subscribe } and `autocreate' plugin plugin { autocreate = inbox.Drafts autosubscribe = inbox.Drafts On wiki page that describes `autocreate' plugin i read: ... mailboxes that must always exist for all users. So even if user delete Drafts IMAP folder on next connection server will create it. Is `mailbox' undocumented feature? I see it only in configuration file, but wiki does not mention it.

[Dovecot] How dovecot treats UTF8 mailbox names in sieve scripts and `namespace' section
by Igor Zinovik 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello. I read on upgrading page that one can use UTF8 mailbox names for plugins. As i understand i do not need to convert UTF8 names to mUTF-7 and can use raw UTF8 in plugins section, e.g.: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ... plugin { ... # Autocreate \Spam folder autocreate = Спам autosubscribe = Спам ... But what about sieve scripts and other configuration sections: 1. Do i need to convert UTF8 mailbox names in `namespace' section? namespace inbox { ... mailbox &BCEEPwQwBDw- { special_use = \Junk } 2. Do i need to convert UTF8 mailbox names in sieve scripts? /etc/dovecot/dovecot_before.sieve ... require ["reject","fileinto"]; # Put all spam into separete IMAP folder if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "&BCEEPwQwBDw-"; }

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Replace hard-coded PKG_STATEDIR with state_dir setting
by Chris Webb 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Sharing an installed copy of dovecot between several users each running a daemon within their own account (or using the same binaries for a system daemon and a user daemon) is difficult because the compile-time directory PKG_STATEDIR (typically /var/lib/dovecot) is hard-coded as the location of things like the ssl-parameters.dat file and the replicator database. Replace all these uses of PKG_STATEDIR with a state_dir setting which defaults to PKG_STATEDIR but can be overridden in dovecot.conf, in the same way base_dir can be used to override PKG_RUNDIR.

[Dovecot] Search extensions
by Timo Sirainen 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

I'm thinking about adding at least one new SEARCH command extension to Dovecot: ability to search from any headers in the mail, including MIME headers in the body. So the idea is that you could somewhat quickly ask e.g. "show me all mails with pdf attachments": a search or x-anyheader application/pdf x-anyheader .pdf b fetch $ bodystructure The client can verify the results with the fetch. The "x-anyheader" can already be implemented without changes to full text search plugin, because all backends store message/MIME headers and body text separately. So, questions for the list, especially client developers: 1) What's a better name for x-anyheader? :) 2) Any other ideas about search extensions you'd want to see? Maybe I could get this standardized at some point. I think one other thing missing has been "show me messages that have attachments". I've thought about maybe creating a $hasattachments keyword for that, which the server could automatically set for new mails that it thinks has attachments (and clients can set/unset the keyword if wanted).

[Dovecot] Spaces in DN with AD auth
by Chris Visser 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi guys, I'm back to fiddling with my Dovecot and AD intergation and I've noticed that if a DN contains spaces, dovecot doesn't bind to the AD server. I'm running: dovecot-2.1.1 exim-4.72 on CentOS 6.3 Exim binds fine with the DNs containing spaces, it's just dovecot that exhibits the symptoms.

[Dovecot] namespace from snapshots
by Karl Oulmi 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

hi all, I'm trying to give access to snapshots taken from by dell iscsi MD3200i to my maildirs users. snapshot are mounted in read only mode from my FreeBSD box. In my /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf, I have : namespace inbox { inbox = yes } namespace da1 { prefix = INBOX.backup.da1. hidden = no list = yes inbox = no location = maildir:/da1/%u/Maildir type = private } I have two problems : - In my log, dovecot complain about the fact that my snapshot filsystem is read only Error: open(/da1/test2(a)toto.com/Maildir/.Trash/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Read-only file system The second problem is that through my thunderbird I can't see the Inbox saved in the snapshot (whereas I see Sent and Trash folders) If anyone could help me, It would be nice. Regard, Karl.
