(Like Apache VirtualHosts) I doubt it; the virtual name is not part of the IMAP protocol as it is in HTTP. The IMAP server is not told which hostname was mapped to its IP. You'll either have to add the @domain, or perhaps multi-home your host, remap one of your domains to the new IP, and add another running instance of dovecot to listen on that interface.

[Dovecot] Full text search in attachments
by Mailing 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hello, is it possible to use the Solr full text search plugin for indexing mail attachments? I found a very old patch and some hints regarding a fts_decoder script that I don't understand. Making Solr indexing PDF or Office files shouldn't be that difficult, but how can I enable the plugin to transfer the attachments to Solr? Best regards, Sebastian

[Dovecot] case insensitive acl
by Andre Rodier 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hello, I have notice that when I use ACL, the name of the user in the dovec-acl-list file is case sensitive. Because I use LDAP, the name of the users is case insensitive. Would it be possible to have an option in Dovecot, to ignore the case of the ACL ? This would be useful with some ACL managers, like roundcube ACL plugin, that uses an LDAP query to autocomplete the user name for the ACL. Kind regards, André

Hi, I have a "ubuntu10.04 + ext4-filesystem + dovecot-2.0.13 +mdbox" configuration in my server. It works fine with ~50k accounts.

[Dovecot] dsync \noselect on INBOX.INBOX skips sync of INBOX
by Nikolai Schupbach 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hi Timo, We have encountered an issue today with a number of migrations. Some customers have mailboxes on the source IMAP server that look like this: 3 LIST "" * * LIST () "." "INBOX" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Statements" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Draft" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Drafts" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Invoices" * LIST (\Noselect) "." "INBOX.INBOX" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Jokes" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Payslips" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Personal" When we run dsync it skips the INBOX presumably because of the Noselect on INBOX.INBOX. and the "imapc_list_prefix = INBOX" setting. Regards, Nikolai.

[Dovecot] maildir to sdbox offline conversion
by _ET_ 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hi all. I've just installed dovecot v2.1 in a multihomed, multiinstance setup, It took me two days to convert the old v1.1 configs, now everything works like charm! But. :) I have several maildir mailboxes, I decided to use the sdbox storage type instead. I ran into difficoulties using the dsync util. My virtual users are in an OpenLDAP DB on a differnet machine, and I do not have access to the database (I can authenticate the users from ldap, but cannot change or see anything) So it's not easy to do an "online" conversion and follow the instructions at dsync's wiki. Do you know a way how to simply tell dsync or a similar util the following dsync convert maildir:/data/vmail/domain/user sdbox:/newdata/vmail/domain/user without touching the ldap database, only the files on the disk. I can run this command as root on this mail server, if it is needed, I can run the command for each and every maildir. That's not a problem. any ideas, how this wouléd be the simpliest? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/maildir-to-sdbox-offline-conversion-tp34274589p342745… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Dsync and SIS
by Alex Crow 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hi all, Just to clarify, if we back up a dovecot 2 server with SIS for attachments and ALT storage by rsyncing it (including the SIS and ALT storage) to a remote server when it's idle (or at least almost entirely so), and run dovecot on that machine, would it seem feasible to restore backups from that server by using dysnc - specifically for the scenario where someone accidentally deletes emails/folders etc.? I've seen queries about SIS before but nothing specifically about this scenario. Cheers Alex -- This message is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential information.

[Dovecot] Listen on multiple ports possible using same protocol?
by Michael Durket 18 Aug '12

18 Aug '12

Is it possible to have multiple Listen directives in a dovecot configuration file for the same protocol? I am running dovecot-1.2.11 and I want to be able to use the "standard port" as well as a test port: protocol imap { listen = *:143 listen = *:10143 ssl_listen = *:993 ssl_listen = *:10993 for example. Or is this more preferably done by pointing dovecot at different configuration files?

[Dovecot] Expire-tool does not delete duplicate messages (dovecot-1.2.17)
by Oleksii Krykun 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Trying to implement expire plugin. expire-tool works fine. This delete expunged messages but not all of them. I have duplicate messages in appropriate folder. These messages are from expanding postfix aliases (e.g. postmaster@, hostmaster@, abuse@ etc. points to same mailbox and spam often sent to all of them. If duplicate message is received only one entry in dovecot-uidlist is created and only first of duplicates is deleted with expire-tool. Rest of duolicates are not deleted. Any suggestions. Thanks, Kryol

[Dovecot] dsync backup gets stuck... fails
by Jeff Gustafson 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

More dsync issues. We were running 2.1.7 and we updated to 2.1.9. Same problem with both versions. I'm getting an error 75 on about 40 boxes out of 1800. It is the same list of boxes every time we use 'dsync backup' to backup the server. dsync seems to stop communicating to the backup box (over ssh). strace just shows it sitting at a epoll_wait. Once the program quits (times out?), a 'du' shows the destination is smaller (200kbyte in one case). Has anyone else seen an exit code of 75? Nothing in the documentation mentions what exit code 75 could mean. What can I do to help the developers locate the bug? ...Jeff

[Dovecot] some mdbox mails get lost each day
by Christian Rößner 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi, I have a strange problem here. I had installed Dovecot-2.1.6 on a customers setup. They have 102 mail accounts on the server. The started using this dovecot version on the 20th June. One mailbox suddenly started expunging mails. Not from the current day, but one week back in the past. First I thought about an Outlook issue. Some filter or archieving thing, but we did a test and on one day, the curstomer did not start Outlook first; instead he checked his mails with the SOGo-webinterface. We saw that mails got deleted again. I checked for sieve filters. None. I upgraded dovecot to 2.1.7, as I have not done any newer packages yet for Ubuntu (using my own PPA). Same problem one day later. I tested with telnet locally. Same result as in the client. I also did doveadm dump -t log and index and saw that there had been expunged mails. Yesterday I asked the customer to backup all his mails in Outlook. After that I renamed the whole mdbox folder of this account on the server and sent one test mail to recreate the mailbox. After that her restored his mail in Outlook. This morning her contacted me and said that all mails are ok right now and no mails have been erased anymore. Coud this been a corrupted index? I also chekced the storage/-folder and see that all mails are still on disk. Now he asked me if there is any way to get all the lost messaged back? It would be okay for him, if all mails since June are sent again, as he can clean his mailbox afterwards. So does somebody have an idea on how to solve this? Maybe scripting something in python and using local sendmail command? Or is there some doveadm voodoo to repair the index or unexpunge all mails?

[Dovecot] Hostname Based forwarding
by Merrickville 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Trying to figure out hostname based IMAP proxy forwarding. I have two mail servers: mail.example.com mail.fakedomain.ca proxy server running dovecat/IMAPS, facing the Internet. *Both* names are DNS resolve(able), but.., both are the *same IP address.* For example: Joe configures his email client username: joe(a)example.com IMAP Addr: mail.example.com For example: Jane configures her email client username: jane(a)fakedomain.ca IMAP Addr: mail.fakedomain.ca So, now all clients must change their user-name in their email client to their full email address, because there is a Jane & Joe on "both" servers and..., dovecot proxies based on 'user name' Is there a way to proxy based on the host name the client has configured in his/her email client? (Like Apache VirtualHosts) This would be ideal, as the clients can then go back to using just their name as the username.

[Dovecot] v2.2 status update: IMAP NOTIFY extension and more
by Timo Sirainen 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

v2.2 hg now has support for NOTIFY extension. The only thing missing is support for SubscriptionChange events. Now would be a good time for IMAP clients to start implementing and testing it. :) I remember K9 developers at least said they were just waiting for Dovecot to support it first. v2.2 implements some other extensions also: BINARY, CATENATE and MOVE. Stephan has also implemented URLAUTH pretty far. Hopefully it gets finished in time for v2.2.0. I'll also try to implement the rest of the LEMONADE extensions: CONVERT, CONTEXT=SORT and URLAUTH=BINARY. I'm also considering implementing an SMTP submission server, which works only as a proxy to the real SMTP server. The benefits of it would mainly be: * It could support BURL command and other extensions required by LEMONADE. The real SMTP server would see only regular DATA commands. * Would make SMTP AUTH easy to implement regardless of what the real SMTP server is.

[Dovecot] bcrypt again
by Sven Schwyn 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi I'd like Dovecot to consume a list of users exported from an external application which stores bcrypted passwords. This has been asked in the past, however, I'm not sure how to read the following reply: > If you are using Dovecot< 2.0 you can also use any of the algorithms > supported by your system's libc. But then you have to prefix the hashes > with {CRYPT} - not {{BLF,SHA256,SHA512}-CRYPT}. I'm on Dovecot 2.0.19. Does this mean that only the hashes listed with "doveadm pw -l" are supported and even if glibc can do bcrypt, the CRYPT scheme won't do the trick anymore? Thanks for your help!

[Dovecot] HA Mailbox Design
by Nikolaos Milas 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi, We would like to implement a Highly Available Mail Server and would like to ask advice on how to architect this. Some details on our setup: Currently we have only one internal mail server (Postfix/Dovecot 2.0 - planning to move to 2.1), receiving mail from a gateway server (filtering spam/viruses) - a Cisco Ironport - which we are considering to replace with one (or a set of) cloud-based Postfix/Amavis-new/SpamAssassin/ClamAV VMs (currently in testing mode). Delivery uses Dovecot LDA. User accounts are LDAP-based. We use Maildir and the load is low (aside spam). Only about 250 users/mailboxes (4G each). All servers are CentOS 5.8 (planning move to 6.3) KVM VMs (on a cloud where we don't have control on the host, but on highly reliable hardware/networks). We can have VMs on two different clouds and we also have at least two different connections (routes) to the cloud(s) (to support HA). Any directions will be appreciated. Hoping to design an HA architecture but aiming to keep it simple and (as much as possible) easily maintainable one. Thanks for your response and help, Nick

[Dovecot] Running spamc during LMTP delivery
by martin f krafft 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

Hello list, we are using dovecot-lmtp for delivery to virtual users, and vmm[1] to manage them. 1. http://vmm.localdomain.org/ One nice feature of vmm is that every virtual user has their own UID/GID on the UNIX filesystem. There is no passwd entry, so no shell login, but each user effectively has a home directory and can run commands in isolation and with lowered privileges. This requires dovecot-lmtp because only the LMTP LDA runs with root rights and can drop privileges to become the specific user for which it is delivering mail. We would now like to run SpamAssassin with the possibility of using the antispam plugin to enable virtual users to train their databases. Do you have an idea how I could let dovecot-lmtp invoke spamc? Or an external command as a filter, to be run by the final user? Thanks, -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isnt." -- mark twain spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net

This is the hard part. Depending on your preferred distro here are two nice webpages for this: http://wiki.mediatemple.net/w/(ve):Install_Postfix_with_Dovecot_on_CentOS http://workaround.org/ispmail Second step is to enable sieve, for witch you only need to uncomment the specific lines from dovecot.conf. For dovecot 1.2, you will have something like: protocols = pop3 pop3s imap imaps managesieve protocol lda { ... mail_plugins: quota sieve } protocol managesieve { } plugin { ... sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir=~/sieve } -- Best regards, Adrian Minta

[Dovecot] Dovecot LMTP - Delivered-To header weirdness
by Daniel Piddock 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a deliberate design decision or a technical limitation that I've missed. Please briefly explain if so :). Or a bug or feature request? When LMTP receives a mail with a single recipient it adds a Delivered-To header. However if the message is delivered in a batch that header isn't added. At first I thought maybe the LMTP was doing something with hardlinks but that doesn't appear to be the case (for rather obvious reasons.) Sample headers (single recipient): Return-Path: <user(a)domain.test> Delivered-To: <user(a)domain.test> Received: from mx.domain.test ([127.0.0.1]) by domain.test (Dovecot) with LMTP id ZNTPFX2NI1CcCwAAVMeomg for <user(a)domain.test>; Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:21 +0100 Envelope-to: user(a)domain.test Delivery-date: Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:21 +0100 Received: from host.domain.test ([172.16.252.1]:44058) by relay.domain.test ([172.16.252.120]:25) with esmtp id 1SzPkz-0000lz-7v (Exim 4.80) for user(a)domain.test (return-path <user(a)domain.test>); Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:21 +0100 Message-ID: <50238D7D.2000707(a)domain.test> Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:21 +0100 From: User <user(a)domain.test> To: User <user(a)domain.test> Subject: test And an expansion list: Return-Path: <user(a)domain.test> Received: from mx.domain.test ([127.0.0.1]) by domain.test (Dovecot) with LMTP id Gf+yBmiNI1CECwAAVMeomg ; Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:00 +0100 Envelope-to: expansion(a)domain.test Delivery-date: Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:00 +0100 Received: from host.domain.test ([172.16.252.1]:44053) by relay.domain.test ([172.16.252.120]:25) with esmtp id 1SzPkd-0000ls-Qr (Exim 4.80) for expansion(a)domain.test (return-path <user(a)domain.test>); Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:13:59 +0100 Message-ID: <50238D67.3090802(a)domain.test> Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:13:59 +0100 From: User <user(a)domain.test> To: Expansion <expansion(a)domain.test> Subject: test At the moment we've turned off batch delivery in the exim smtp transport (max_rcpt=1).

[Dovecot] dovecot+LDAP/AD encoding issue

Hello everybody, i have a problem with dovecot+Active Directory as Authentication-Service. I am not able to use special characters (äöüß (german umlaut)) within a password. Normally I would suggest that the ldap-query is done in UTF-8 but as I debugged the auth-process, I have seen that the password is ISO-8859-1 encoded. The "original" query (from roundcube for example) is UTF-8 encoded (I dumped the POST-Query). So far I wasn't able to find my error by myself or by searching the web.

I already check the source file dict-sql.c but i still can't figure it out. I store user info in a mysql table where only left (user) part of an email address is stored with foreign id for domain conected to domain table. The problem is administration because quota table have primary key whole email. Is there even possible to configure quota dict settings to use separate variables %n and %d like in user and password query? -- lp Uroš

[Dovecot] dsync and pop3 migration plugin fails for large inbox due to idle timeout
by Nikolai Schupbach 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Timo, There is a problem with the dsync POP3 migration plugin when syncing a large INBOX. What happens is dsync establishes a connection to the POP3 server at the beginning of the sync, but then it sits there idle until it's used to sync the UIDLs. On a very large inbox with many thousands of messages it will be idle for longer than a POP3 server's idle timeout setting. When the UIDL sync occurs dsync produces the following errors (because the connection has been lost due to the POP3 server's inactivity timeout): dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3c(pop3.test.com): Server disconnected unexpectedly dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 13: Disconnected dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 14: Disconnected dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 15: Disconnected dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 16: Disconnected ... dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 14492: Disconnected dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 14493: Disconnected dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 14494: Disconnected Also at the end of the dsync it actually has an exit status of 0, but it shouldn't because the POP3 sync failed, and none of the UIDLs are retained. Dsync should try to keep the POP3 connection alive, by sending a regular 'NOOP' command to the POP3 server, or it should simply reconnect if sees the connection is lost. At the moment the only work around is to increase the POP3 server's idle timeout to a multi hour value, which isn't a good work around as it causes a lot of inactive POP sessions to bank up.

The problem is solved!!!! In the library "src/lib-sieve/plugins/vacation/cmd-vacation.c", in the package "dovecot-sieve" or "dovecot-pigeonhole" modify: smtp_handle = sieve_smtp_open(senv, reply_to, NULL, &f); smtp_handle = sieve_smtp_open(senv, reply_to, reply_from, &f); You can check the correct operation in your logs. /var/log/maillog postfix/smtpd[27112]: connect from smtp.mydomain.com postfix/smtpd[27112]: A95D2168456: client=smtp.mydomain.com postfix/cleanup[27114]: A95D2168456: message-id=<A5BBC98AAF65424CADBFB6ACF0003E8B03FB4B74(a)example.com> postfix/smtpd[27112]: disconnect from smtp.mydomain.com postfix/qmgr[17010]: A95D2168456: from=<asier.cidon(a)example.com>, size=7274, nrcpt=1 (queue active) postfix/pipe[27115]: A95D2168456: to=<asier.cidon(a)mydomain.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.09, delays=0.01/0/0/0.08, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) postfix/qmgr[17010]: A95D2168456: removed /var/log/dovecot.log dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 1 asier.cidon(a)mydomain.com uid=xxx gid=xxx quota_rule=*:bytes=524288000 home=/buzon/asier.cidon dovecot: deliver(asier.cidon(a)mydomain.com): sieve: msgid=<A5BBC98AAF65424CADBFB6ACF0003E8B03FB4B74(a)example.com>: sent vacation response to <asier.cidon(a)example.com> dovecot: deliver(asier.cidon(a)mydomain.com): sieve: msgid=<A5BBC98AAF65424CADBFB6ACF0003E8B03FB4B74(a)example.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' /var/log/maillog postfix/pickup[17009]: B221D168458: uid=xxx from=<asier.cidon(a)mydomain.com> postfix/cleanup[27114]: B221D168458: message-id=<dovecot-sieve-1344420404-703760-0(a)mda.mydomain.com> postfix/qmgr[17010]: B221D168458: from=<asier.cidon(a)mydomain.com>, size=661, nrcpt=1 (queue active) postfix/smtp[27195]: B221D168458: to=<asier.cidon(a)example.com>, relay=smtpinterno.mydomain.com, delay=0.04, delays=0.01/0/0.01/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as A3A092280B3) postfix/qmgr[17010]: B221D168458: removed

[Dovecot] doveadm import is always verbose
by Jürgen Obermann 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Hello, with dovecot versions up to 2.1.9, when I use: doveadm import -u guser mbox:/tmp/mbox/guser/restore_2012-05-08 restore_2012-05-08 all it always sends out info messages for every mail copied like that: doveadm(guser): Info: copy from mymail: box=restore_2012-05-08/mymail, uid=5, msgid=<######>, size=6999462 I had expected to see these info messages only if I add the verbose option to doveadm. And using the option -v with: doveadm -v import -u guser mbox:/tmp/mbox/guser/restore_2012-05-08 restore_2012-05-08 all makes no difference at all, the same messages appear. The verbose option seems to be always on. Is this a bug or intended behaviour?

[Dovecot] Dovecot with Company - level Quota
by Kavish Karkera 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Hi Timo, We are using maildir as quota-backend , and performing user level quota, which is working fine. (using dovecot 2.x ). Now the requirement is to , restrict the quota to client / company level along with user level quota. For. eg. We have a mailbox path like /mail/mailstore/10001/kavish.karkera(a)linoquery.com/Maildir/ where 10001 is Client code (unique number given to very client) instead of domain name. So there would be two quota's one at company level and other user level. Such as 10001(linoquery.com) = 5GB ---> Company Quota kavish.karkera(a)linoquery.com = 0 ? ---> User Quota If the sum of the user quota under 10001/* exceeds the 5GB limit then the mails for that particular domain should get bounced. Please Help , if this is possible. Regards, Kavish Karkera

[Dovecot] replication chain
by Костырев Александр Алексеевич 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

good day! I wonder if it is possible to make a chain of replication in dovecot 2.1.9. Now I'm using two way replication(I use proxy to redirect users) and it's working just fine but is it possible to setup replication like this: serverA ---> serverB --> server C <--- I've added additional mail_replica2 on serverB and after restart dovecot didn't complain about errors, with doveconf -n I am able to see two replica's settings but user's mails aren't replicating to server C. no errors in logs. I want to use server C as backup server with lvm snapshots.

Do the same user(s) have this problem and/or do each user have their own mail configuration for their mail readers? If yes, I would also check that the port and security protocol matches (i.e. clear/TLS/SSL on ports 110/110/995 respectively). Mismatched configurations could cause what you describe. Log messages could also be helpful here. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Re: [Dovecot] redirect actions exceeds policy limit
by Mike Greene 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Thank you David, I saw that in the share/docs but we didn't have the /conf.d/ folder or any of the extra conf files in place. I created that directory, copied the file over, made my changes and all is well again. Not sure why things were setup the way they were, after looking at the other files in conf.d it would appear the previous sysadmin had merged a lot of those bits and pieces into the main dovecot.conf file. Perhaps leftovers from v1.x days. Will likely address that down the road when we update that server. Mike Greene Rock Island Technology Solutions, Inc.
