by Tomislav Mihalicek 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

I have a proxy setup for pop/imap. The proxies are defined in login_trusted_networks = x.x.x.x and for the imap it works fine but for pop3 connections displays the ip address of proxy IP... Dovecots are both 1.2 from the debian repo deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-1.2 main thanks -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/POP-IMAP-on-proxy-rip-issue-tp33400491p33400491.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] remove messages once downloaded
by julioarr＠fisica.uh.cu 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

I need some help with the dovecot configuration. I want to remove downloaded messages from Mail Server once the messages have been successfully downloaded by pop3-clients, even when the clients have been configured to save copy of messages in the Server. thanks, Julio

[Dovecot] LDA alias resolution problems..
by Nick Warr 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

I use postfix + dovecot LDA + mysql virtual users and up til friday, everything was working just fine. Dovecot is 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef) Like I said, up til friday, when I added a vacation entry into postfix (which I have now removed to see if it was the reason) mails to the alias virusalert (which is aliased to me) went through just fine. Now I get these sort of errors from the LDA: Feb 27 11:54:03 cluster2 postfix/pipe[31267]: 866F0A41173: to=<virusalert(a)mobilia.it>, relay=dovecot, delay=357414, delays=357413/0.79/0/0.05, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: lda: Fatal: Unknown user ) Other aliases work perfectly, the only difference is that these emails are of local origin, (they're messages from Amavisd) I'm not sure why this has started to be a problem. Can anyone give me an idea where I should start looking? Nick

[Dovecot] Mail delivery to subfolders via address extension, and prefered lda method
by Micha Krause 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi, I want to deliver mails directly to subfolders, based on address extensions. Example: Emails sent to: micha+test(a)example.com Should be stored into user micha, folder INBOX.test I was able to reproduce this with exim and dovecot-lda: command = /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -e -m "INBOX.${substr_1:$local_part_suffix}" But I was wondering if I could do this within dovecot, which would enable me to use LMTP instead of dovecot-lda. Which brings me to my second question: Which method is "better" for dovecot, lda or LMTP? Micha Krause

[Dovecot] Virtual Folders
by jacob＠alltechservices-ia.com 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hello, I am trying to get virtual folders to work properly, and I can't seem to. I will be as detailed as possible to remove confusion. Thank you in advance. Goal: Essentially, a gmail clone, but one that I can make work on cPanel hosts with roundcube and squirrel mail, etc. By default, cpanel creates user mail dir structure of (maildir++) inbox, drafts, sent, junk, and trash (with no dovecot specific files until first login) I would like to replace all those folders with virtual representations with more capabilities. I would like to achieve the conversation view that gmail has pulled off so well. cPanel, stock, generates the following dovecot -n: (i am still not sure how it negotiates mail_location yet) # 1.2.17: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5xen x86_64 CentOS release 5.7 (Final) ssl_cert_file: /etc/dovecot/ssl/dovecot.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/dovecot/ssl/dovecot.key ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_process_per_connection: no login_processes_count: 10 login_max_processes_count: 100 login_max_connections: 500 mail_max_userip_connections: 200 maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_plugins: quota imap_quota namespace: type: private prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)example.com auth default: mechanisms: plain login cache_size: 2048 username_chars: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!#$-=?^_{}~./@+% passdb: driver: checkpassword args: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/dovecot-auth userdb: driver: prefetch socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 438 plugin: quota: maildir quota_rule: Trash:ignore I started a test box with Debian running the same version of dovecot (1.2.x) and on that system I run into problems every time I make a virtual folder a root folder. I assume it is trying to look up a normal folder instead of the virtual ones and I am confusing it. So I came here because it would be really really neat if I could pull this off. Again, thank you in advance. -cornfeed

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.1 with custom OpenSSL fails to build
by Andreas M. Kirchwitz 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hello Dovecot users! There seems to be a new dependency in some modules (eg, lib-storage, libdovecot-lda, libdovecot-ssl) on OpenSSL. In Dovecot 2.0, those modules didn't require OpenSSL, but 2.1 does. For the linking process the path to the OpenSSL library isn't specified properly (SSL_LIBS). Dovecot fails to build if OpenSSL is in a non-standard path. (Haven't checked if SSL_CFLAGS isn't properly used as well.) Example for lib-storage: env SSL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" SSL_LIBS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/ssl/lib -lcrypto -lssl" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/${DOVECOTVER} --with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/usr/local/${DOVECOTVER}/etc/dovecot/certs make gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/lib -I../../src/lib-master -I../../src/lib-settings -I../../src/lib-mail -I../../src/lib-storage -DPKG_RUNDIR=\""/usr/local/Dovecot-2.1.1/var/run/dovecot"\" -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/usr/local/ssl/include -MT master-connection.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/master-connection.Tpo -c -o master-connection.o master-connection.c mv -f .deps/master-connection.Tpo .deps/master-connection.Po /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/usr/local/ssl/include -no-undefined -Wl,--as-needed -o indexer-worker indexer-worker.o indexer-worker-settings.o master-connection.o ../../src/lib-storage/libdovecot-storage.la ../../src/lib-dovecot/libdovecot.la -export-dynamic -ldl -lrt libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/usr/local/ssl/include -Wl,--as-needed -o .libs/indexer-worker indexer-worker.o indexer-worker-settings.o master-connection.o -Wl,--export-dynamic ../../src/lib-storage/.libs/libdovecot-storage.so ../../src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so -ldl -lrt -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/Dovecot-2.1.1/lib/dovecot /usr/bin/ld: warning: libcrypto.so.1.0.0, needed by ../../src/lib-storage/.libs/libdovecot-storage.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /usr/bin/ld: warning: libssl.so.1.0.0, needed by ../../src/lib-storage/.libs/libdovecot-storage.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) ../../src/lib-storage/.libs/libdovecot-storage.so: undefined reference to `OBJ_txt2nid' ../../src/lib-storage/.libs/libdovecot-storage.so: undefined reference to `SSL_set_ex_data' [...] # ldd src/lib*/.libs/*.so src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so: linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00979000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00c31000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x009ed000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0054d000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00c12000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x008f4000) src/lib-lda/.libs/libdovecot-lda.so: linux-gate.so.1 => (0x0096d000) libdovecot-storage.so.0 => /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.1.1/src/lib-storage/.libs/libdovecot-storage.so.0 (0x00ae4000) libdovecot.so.0 => /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.1.1/src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so.0 (0x00110000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00189000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00192000) libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found libssl.so.1.0.0 => not found libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0031c000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00ebc000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x003f8000) src/lib-sql/.libs/libdovecot-sql.so: linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00a95000) libdovecot.so.0 => /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.1.1/src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so.0 (0x002b6000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00ab8000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x0072a000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x008f7000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00ebd000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00619000) src/lib-ssl-iostream/.libs/libdovecot-ssl.so: linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00da6000) libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found libssl.so.1.0.0 => not found libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00df0000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00112000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00b5e000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00e76000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x005a6000) src/lib-storage/.libs/libdovecot-storage.so: linux-gate.so.1 => (0x006ed000) libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found libssl.so.1.0.0 => not found libdovecot.so.0 => /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.1.1/src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so.0 (0x00c66000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00491000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00be2000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00110000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0036b000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x0029a000) Without SSL_CFLAGS and SSL_LIBS but just PKG_CONFIG_PATH, it also won't work.

[Dovecot] Dovecot altmove questions
by Maria Arrea 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hello We are using Dovecot 2.0.17 with mdbox+zlib and we are evaluating alternative storage. These are the relevant settings mdbox_rotate_interval = 1d mdbox_rotate_size=60m [...] zlib_save_level = 9 # 1..9 zlib_save = gz # or bz2 [...] zlib plugin enabled in dovecot-lda These are my questions: 1º General mdbox question. We are happy usings zlib_save, but we would like to try bzip2 compression. Can we change zlib to bzlib without problems? In other words, can we mix & match gzipped and bzipped messages in the same mdbox file ? 2º With doveadm altmove we can move messages matching a pattern to alternate storage. I have read an older post in this mailing list about passing specific mdbox options to doveadm altmove. Should be a good idea to have a "main" mdbox area with zlib 9 and mdbox_rotate=1d and mdox_rotate_size=60m and an "alternate area" with bzip9, mdbox_rotate=1 week and rotate_size > 60 MB? In the alternate area should only be "old" mail (1 year older). 3º We have separate raids for indexes (raid 1+0) and mdboxes (raid 5). We have almost 3 TB of gzipped mdboxes, and our backup (bacula) is taking almost 16 hours to make a full backup. Our main problem is that indexes are backupd hours before mdboxes, and that bring us some inconsistencies. What is the "right" way of backing up for separate indexes and mdboxes? Thank you for your support. Maria

[Dovecot] IMAP-proxy or not with sogo webmail and dovecot backend

We've been collecting some stats to see what kind of benefits UP/SquirrelMail's IMAP Proxy in for our SOGo webmail users. Dovecot is running in High-performance mode http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LoginProcess with authentication caching http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Caching During the weekend two servers (webmail3 and webmail4) has been running with local imapproxy and two servers without (webmail1 and webmail2).

After ksplice automatically installed the above patch on our mail servers, most/all IMAP/POP3 connections began experiencing time-outs trying to connect, or extreme timeouts in the auth procedure. dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=a.a.a.a, lip=b.b.b.b, TLS handshaking: Disconnected dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=a.a.a.a, lip=b.b.b.b, TLS handshaking: Disconnected dovecot: pop3-login: Panic: epoll_ctl(add, 6) failed: Invalid argument dovecot: pop3-login: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x3cb543baa0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x3cb543baf6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x3cb543afb3] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handle_add+0x118) [0x3cb5447708] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_add+0xa5) [0x3cb5446e15] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_init_finish+0x1c6) [0x3cb54355a6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-login.so.0(main+0x136) [0x37a000bdf6] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3cb301d994] -> dovecot/pop3-login(main+0x49) [0x401b99] dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3-login): child 27603 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped - add -D parameter to service pop3-login { executable } dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3-login): command startup failed, throttling dovecot: imap-login: Panic: epoll_ctl(add, 6) failed: Invalid argument dovecot: imap-login: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x3cb543baa0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x3cb543baf6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x3cb543afb3] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handle_add+0x118) [0x3cb5447708] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_add+0xa5) [0x3cb5446e15] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_init_finish+0x1c6) [0x3cb54355a6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-login.so.0(main+0x136) [0x37a000bdf6] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3cb301d994] -> dovecot/imap-login(main+0x39) [0x402069] dovecot: master: Error: service(imap-login): child 27604 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped - add -D parameter to service imap-login { executable } Once this patch was removed, everything started working again. Is it possible that dovecot is trying to re-add already-added connections to the polling list - which this specific 'patch' prevents? We haven't dug deeper yet, but the error is being thrown from the method io_loop_handle_add in ioloop-epoll.c http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/file/aa8dfa085a99/src/lib/ioloop-epoll.c Thanks Doug

[Dovecot] deliver(test@[***domain_name***]): Fatal: setgid(5000) failed with ... Operation not permitted
by fxCode 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

Hi, I am relatively new to linux, and have set up my first lamp server around a month ago. The server is housed in a data centre a few miles from my house, and is working as a web server (with apache, tomcat, mysql) just fine. I have now been trying for a week to get Postfix and Dovecot working with postfixadmin and mysql. (below I have replaced my test domain name with [***domain_name***]) The story so far; I can send 'welcome' emails from within postfix admin to an external email address... and they are received by the mail client on my computer at home no problem. I can set up alias email addresses within postfix admin, such as webmaster@[***domain_name***], and emails sent to this address are redirected to the proper address as expected. But - if I set up a standard mailbox within postfix admin - test@[***domain_name***] , and email it from my home system, nothing appear in postfixadmin (after a fetch request) or the mysql database. Here is the fail point in my mail.log file ; Feb 26 12:50:27 quantum dovecot: deliver(test@[***domain_name***]): Fatal: setgid(5000) failed with euid=8(mail), gid=8(mail), egid=8(mail): Operation not permitted I don't know what the setguid(5000) is, or where it is being set, or what it should be! I have been changing permissions with the 'socket listen' section of my /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file, and when I restart dovecot it creates the auth-master file with the permissions as expected; socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0777 user = vmail group = mail } client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 432 #user = postfix #group = postfix } } my mail folders should be located at /var/vmail, but the folder is empty. I have chmod the permissions to be as follows; me@myserver: ls -ld /var/vmail drwxrwxrwx 2 vmail mail 4096 2012-02-11 08:40 /var/vmail Can anyone spot where this is going wrong? Thanks in advance for any help, it is very very much appreciated!!!

[Dovecot] IMAP NOTIFY extension
by Timo Sirainen 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2-notify/ contains the initial implementation of IMAP NOTIFY extension. It's less than half-working, but the difficult part of it is done I think. If I give it a command like: x notify set (personal (messagenew messageexpunge flagchange)) and then in another session I copy a message to another mailbox, it sends: * STATUS "foobar" (MESSAGES 77 UIDNEXT 78 UIDVALIDITY 1329431281 UNSEEN 75) This requires mailbox_list_index=yes to work. It works by following the dovecot.list.index.log changes, so it's going to be pretty efficient. Some TODO that I've so far noticed: - NOTIFY is handled currently only for non-selected mailboxes. (handling the new features for selected mailbox should be simple) - initial STATUS sending isn't done with STATUS option - only MessageNew, MessageExpunge and FlagChange notifications are sent currently - MailboxName handling probably needs to be able to get "old" and "new" views, figure out what changed in them and send those changes (dsync has similar code) - mailbox list indexes seem to be adding too much stuff, which results in: - STATUS duplicates, but there should already be code to avoid these so I'm not sure what's going on - ACLs and shared mailboxes don't work right - add 0.5s delay before notifying IMAP code, so multiple changes can be bundled into one

[Dovecot] Maildir migration: Courier-imap 4.4.3 to Dovecot 1.2.
by Rafał Radecki 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hi all. I am currently gathering information about migration of Maildir/ structures from Courier to Dovecot. What do you think about http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier ? For each courier Maildir account I want to use http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl to produce dovecot-uidlist file mv courierimapsubscribed subscriptions sed sed -i 's/INBOX\.//' subscriptions rm -r courierimaphieracl rm courierimapacl rm courierimapkeywords I want also to leave default pop3_uidl_format (%08Xu%08Xv) in dovecot.conf Should I look into something else? Have I missed something? Best regards, Rafal.

[Dovecot] Apple od/ad authentication problem
by Troy Shafer 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hello all. Im pretty new to dovecot and postfix world. I'm completely stumped. OS X 10.7.3, behind a Cisco asa NAT. When trying to authenticate (ssl or not) via the webmail interface I get this error... NAT IP is the public ip I assigned. It doesn't work for an AD account or an account local to the Mac server. However it DOES work on the internal LAN. Feb 22 18:15:36 mail dovecot[3501]: auth: Error: od (username,natIP): verify plain: lookup failed for user: username Feb 22 18:15:51 mail dovecot[3501]: auth: Error: od[getpwnam_ext](username,natIP): No record for user I figured I'm missing something in the dovecot config. I have followed apple's kb articles for AD webmail authentication and kerberos, and that works internally.

[Dovecot] How to achieve proper privilege separation?
by "Tóth Attila" 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

I'm using a simple mbox config with regular Unix users and pam authentication. I'm also using grsecurity. That's why I see what dovecot does in which users' name. As times goes by and new versions are coming I can frustratedly see, that more and more tasks are performed as root. Why? When I used 1.x series of Dovecot, imap process started in the name of the user whose mbox was accessed. Now I can see, that nearly every task is performed by root. Why? It even tampers with the mail directories of each user as root instead of the user as it was usual long before. Please let me know how should I change the config to make dovecot stop using root privileges and revert it back to the old behavior. Thanks for your help: Dw. Here's my current config: dovecot -n # 2.0.17 (684381041dc4+): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.6-hardened i686 Gentoo Base System release 2.0.3 auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb auth_verbose = yes auth_worker_max_count = 16 base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 99 first_valid_uid = 1000 hostname = host.name last_valid_gid = 65533 last_valid_uid = 1003 listen = * mail_access_groups = mail mail_full_filesystem_access = yes mail_gid = mail mail_location = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_max_keyword_length = 150 mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = mail passdb { args = * driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)host.name protocols = imap service auth-worker { user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 16 M } service imap { process_limit = 4 vsz_limit = 64 M } ssl_cert = </etc/apache2/ssl/cert-file.pem ssl_key = </etc/apache2/ssl/key-file.pem userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep tb-lsub-flags imap_max_line_length = 64 k -- dr Tóth Attila, Radiológus, 06-20-825-8057 Attila Toth MD, Radiologist, +36-20-825-8057

[Dovecot] From Maildir back to smtp
by Marc Perkel 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Not sure how this can be done. Right now I'm running a free backup MX record service. People point their high MX records to my servers and if they go down we store the email. When they come back up it's delivered. What I want to do is have a premium service that would allow them to view through IMAP the stored email. In order to do that I would have to deliver the email locally to a dovecot server - to a single account perhaps - and they can view/forward/delete etc. But - when their server comes back online I'd like to gather up all the delivered email stored in Maildir format and run it back into smtp for delivery. Has anyone even done something like this? Or is there an easier way that I'm missing? Thanks in advance

[Dovecot] dsync 2.0.x versus 2.1.x field report
by Michael Grimm 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi -- I used to run two mailservers with identical MX priorities (poor man's fail-over approach) with Maildir mail folders accessed by Dovecot. Synchronization has been achieved using unison, mirroring all files except dovecot index files. Once in a while some oddities could be observed, like reappearing of deleted mails, duplicates and such alike. But the all-over performance was quite good. Then I wanted to migrate to mdbox, and I became interested in dsync. I did start with 2.0.16 a couple of month ago, and recently upgraded to 2.0.18. My experience with the 2.0.x dsync version is as follows (synchronization time: every minute): -- As long as mail is not stored in corresponding mailboxes at both servers at the same time, all mailboxes become synchronized perfectly well, and no oddites like reappearing of deleted mails or generation of duplicates can be observed. -- If mail is stored into corresponding mailboxes at both servers simultaneously in between two synching runs, it gets worrying. -- If I do run dsync without '-f' those two mailboxes end up in becoming asynchronous. -- If I do run dsync with '-f' both mailboxes will become synchronized let's say in 95% of all synchronization runs. BUT in 5%, I do experience asynchronicity. Here a 'doveadm force-resync' sometimes works, but not always, what worries me a lot. -- I can see the missing mail in the mdbox storage file using UNIX' little helpers but not with the help of dovecot tools. (Or I was unable to use them properly.) -- Modifying MX priorities in a way, that I do now have a primary and backup mailserver scenario, very much reduced the risk of losing legitimate mail. -- But sometimes I do lose some syslog mail being produced at the same time. Therefore I modified runtimes in way to omit synchronicity. Ok, I could have lived with that, but I was anxious to learn, if 2.1.x dsync would perform better ;-) Here my observations sofar (synchronization time: every minute): -- No losses sofar using 'doveadm sync' with '-f' -- A *lot* of reappearing deleted mails or mails moved from one mailbox to the other. -- Quite often I am unable to delete those mails using client functionality (Mail.app, Roundcube). -- In those cases one needs to stop synchronization, run 'doveadm force-resync', delete all reappearing mail (quite a lot sometimes), empty 'Deleted' folders, and finally run 'doveadm purge'. -- Running of 'doveadm sync' without '-f' doesn't improve the situation. Still I do have to struggle with reappearing mails, and sometimes with appearing duplicates. -- I do have a test setup running for 24 hours now, where I do generate test mails in a 6 minutes interval at both servers. Mails become synchronized perfectly well, irrespectively if '-f' is set or not. This is a major improvement to 2.0x. dsync (sofar). -- But running the synchronization without '-f' still shows a *lot* of reappering mail, though. I do have the feeling that dsync became very much improved with regard to missing mail in synchronization, good. But those reappearing mails make me think about switching back to 2.0.x dsync and live with the drawback of preventing mail to arrive synchronously at both servers. Is someone out there experiencing a similar behaviour with dsync 2.1.x regarding reappearing, thus indelible mail? Regards, Michael

[Dovecot] Creating and interacting with array inside plugin
by Alex Baule 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi Timo.... I Follow your instruction to look inside quota plugin to get the notification from dovecot that expunged a message, that's Ok.

Just to make it clear to the OP, I have a Dovecot/Sendmail/SASL working just fine (which is independent of dovecot). I suspect Peter hit the nail on the head here. Look at the contents of $SASL_INSTALL/lib/Sendmail.conf Mine is (only) pwcheck_method:saslauthd which I think looks up my name service backend via the login and plain plugins. I'm a little hazy on how this was set up, but if you are able to successfully login without dovecot, then it appears you have some sort of authentication stack that will try IMAP first, then fallback to your the other method.

[Dovecot] Settings for authentication without an extra password file
by Keith Christian 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hello, I'm new to dovecot, and, due to having an older version of an OS installed on a test server, I'll be using an older version of dovecot (dovecot-1.0-1.2) to provide IMAP services. On this wiki page (http://wiki.dovecot.org/BasicConfiguration?highlight=%28passwd.dovecot%29) There are instructions for creating a separate dovecot password file: echo "$USER:{PLAIN}password" > passwd.dovecot sudo mv passwd.dovecot /etc So, it appears that two password files will be needed, one for dovecot and one for regular system logins. Is the statement above correct, or am I misreading something? Is there a setting in dovecot.conf which will authenticate IMAP using /etc/password and /etc/shadow, without a separate dovecot password file? ========Keith

[Dovecot] Why is dovecot involved in my smtp process

I've been trying to get smtp auth set up for days. All my sendmail and sasl2 stuff seems to be proper, but the user can't use the system on port 587, which is where I require authorization. Now I see where messages are in my maillog of the type: auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth) : authentication failure ........ Why is dovecot involved in my smtp processes and how do I fix this. I've got some very mad users. The 10-auth.conf file is pretty much stock except for allowing plain text logins. steve campbell

[Dovecot] Can't connect to my mail server (postfix + dovecot, IMAP) with Thunderbird
by GASPARD Kévin 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Hi, I've a problem with Dovecot and Thunderbird. Actually I'm trying to setup a virtual host server mail with postfix + dovecot (2.0.9) on CentOS 6.2. This is my dovecot -n : http://pastebin.com/wZWAE5Cj (I guess the errors are not important, that's just saying there is some obsoletes values, I will fix that later until it's not inconvenient to setup correctly dovecot). I've a file to store password (/etc/dovecot/passwd) and when I'm trying to connect with telnet to my host on port 143 it works, after I can log myself with the command «a login user(a)domain.tld passwd» and it works, this is the entire output of the telnet connection : http://pastebin.com/h10cQVqf but actually when I'm trying to connect with thunderbird I've an error about the password and the login, this is a screenshoot : http://images.koshie.fr/TB_problem.png and to finish, there is nothing into the log... The password and the user are corrects ! Of course, dovecot and postfix are started, this is the netstat -a | grep "dovecot" : http://pastebin.com/bwfsS4Tf If you need more informations tell me. PS : Excuse me for my bad english, also I'm new with dovecot. Cordially, GASPARD Kévin

[Dovecot] Where did the message end up?
by Dag Nygren 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hi all! Just migrated out UW-IMAP installation to Dovecot and so far so good. Had small teething problems though which left me with one question. The scenario was that I have a set of public folders that are only needed by the main company group (gid = company). Then there are some external users as well, not directly in the company group. I set up the public mailbox with permissions 660, owner me and group "company". That is the externals didn't have access to the mail folder. At this point all looked fine, but later there was an email to an external person and this was passed on to deliver by procmail. Procmail logs says all was OK, but there is an entry about the public folder not accessible in the Dovecot log. The email is nowhere to be found. My question: Where is the delivered email? Best Dag

Google around for a good set of instructions on how to set up IMAP prefix's for various mail clients, and refer your users to that. I also referred them to our webmail (with the correct mail prefix) as a reference to a list of mailboxes they ought to see. If they don't match, then that's a symptom of a bad prefix. > I've tried this and modified the .mailboxlist, but I'm thinking Dovecot > is ignoring this and I'm not sure what it's looking at to determine the > imap folders. > > > - .subscription files were moved into the mail folder > > (don't have to edit prefixes since the aliasing > > will take care of that). > > And when would these .subscription files be created?

Sorry, as Timo intimated, dovecot uses .subscription, which can be adjusted back to .mailboxlist, which uw-imapd uses. You shouldn't have to edit it if you set up namespace aliasing. Just move it from the top-level into your user's mail directory during cutover: (if you use dovecot's default subscription filename) mv $USER/.mailboxlist $USER/mail/.subscription If your IMAP client is still ignoring subscriptions, it usually means the client was configured that way. > > - your setup is fairly close to mine, so you may also run into > > the problem of user having mailboxes with group ownership that > > users are not part of (for example, group "mail" for INBOX set > > by your LDA or personal mailboxes with groups the user is no > > longer a member of) *and* with group permission not mode=0. > > Sendmail sort of requires the "mail" group, does it not? I'll take a > look and see if all users are part of this or not. A crazy solution > would be in order here? I think sendmail works fine if you set your mail spool mode=1777 (like /tmp), but have each inbox mode=0600. This setting will persist. It's sendmail LDA mail.local that's the problem: it autocreates new inboxes with permissions user:mail/660 and unless the user is in group "mail", chaos will ensue. You can maybe do a cron script or some other hack, or better yet, use dovecot LDA, which sets up the perms correctly (and keeps indexes updated). A one time "chmod go-rwx" during cutover is all that is required then. The log entry that points this problem out looks like dovecot: imap(smith): Error: chown(/dc-cache/smith/.imap/xx, group=6(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=5678(goodgroup), group based on /home/smith/mail/xx - see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Errors/ChgrpNoPerm) dovecot: imap(smith): Error: mkdir(/dc-cache/smith/.imap/xx) failed: Not owner Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] dsync, hard-links and refcounts
by Christoph Bußenius 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hi, when creating a copy of a mail, dovecot provides a feature that will store its contents only once. In maildir, this is done by means of hard links, while mdbox has some special refcounting mechanism. My question is, how can we convert mails from maildir to mdbox without duplicating these copies? It seems that dsync does not detect the hard links. Even if the hard-linked mails have the same GUID listed in dovecot-uidlist, dsync creates multiple instances of the text. - Is there some way to make dsync notice the hard links? (I used dovecot 2.0.17) - Alternatively, is there some tool to deduplicate the mdbox after it has been converted from maildir? - NB: I am not talking about single-instance storage for attachments.

[Dovecot] Managesieve AUTHENTICATE with IDN using UTF-8 or encode into ACE?
by Christian Rohmann 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hey dovecot-users, clients that speak telnet based protocols like http, smtp usually encode IDN (International Domain Names) containing UTF-8 characters into ACE (ASCII Compatible Encoding) punycode. I am wondering what the case was with managesieve (RFC 5804). For example if I was using a username like "user(a)xn--4ca0br.example.com" with the AUTHENTICATE command. Would that need to be encoded into ACE or be left in UTF-8? Reading section "2.1. AUTHENTICATE Command" or "4. Formal Syntax" suggests that quoted or literal UTF-8 is correct. Thanks Christian

[Dovecot] Some trouble with dovecot 2.1 and SASL
by Alessio Cecchi 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hi, I'm testing dovecot 2.1.0, on Debian 6.0, with "passdb driver = imap" and SASL for postfix's SMTP-Auth, like explained ih this howto: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL Authentications over IMAP (local dovecot -> remote dovecot) works fine, and it's great. Also smtp-auth on postfix (over SASL) works fine. But in the dovecot log I found this error: Feb 19 11:11:42 demo-vpop dovecot: auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child 30506 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) even though all works fine. This is my dovecot configuration: # 2.1.0: dovecot.conf-imapc # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.4 auth_mechanisms = plain login default_login_user = nobody imapc_host = 10.0.0.1 mail_gid = imapproxy mail_home = /home/imapproxy/%u mail_location = imapc:~/imapc mail_uid = imapproxy passdb { args = host=10.0.0.1 default_fields = userdb_imapc_user=%u userdb_imapc_password=%w driver = imap } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl = no userdb { driver = prefetch } But if instead of "unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth" I use: service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { } inet_listener { port = 12345 } } no errors appears in the log. In both cases all works fine. Is there any errors in my dovecot's configuration? -- Alessio Cecchi is: on LinkedIn -> http://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice Assistenza Sistemi Linux -> http://www.cecchi.biz/ Hosting Linux -> http://www.hosting-linux.it @ PLUG -> ex-Presidente, adesso senatore a vita, http://www.prato.linux.it

Previous posts probably suggested that I wanted to move to maildir, but all of the replies I've received have convinced me that I do not want to do that. The folders in ~ and ~/mail are mboxes, so I need to see what damage I've done with a maildir namespace. The maildir reference could be part of the problems I'm seeing. I'm still not sure whether I should be seeing .subscriptions or mail/subscriptions anywhere and whether Dovecot will use the .mailboxlist that exists. The wiki suggests that I need to recompile Dovecot to continue using .mailboxlist.

I've done the horde/imp alternate port/config. It all went well. The downside is that I didn't realize those secondary folders in ~/mail were being hidden. Kinda late to switch back, but the secondary server supports another domain, so I have it to test with. Again, the damage I've caused to those secondary imap folders needs to be determined to get this fixed properly. Most users are seing the secondary folders and can use them. It's just those users who have folders in ~ that are seeing problems as far as I can tell. Thanks steve > >

My switchover this weekend is full of holes due to the > way user's imap folders were laid out. Some had folders in their home > directory and others might have folders in their /home/mail directory. I had the same problem, and handled it more or less the same way as the later poster (Jim Lawson <jtl+dovecot(a)uvm.edu>) handled his site. I retained use of mbox format as well. I planned the migration like this - scan user home directories for mailboxes (especially "Trash", "Drafts", "Sent", etc.) looking for "From " as the first 5 bytes. This was piped into a script that Email'd users about the changes that was going to happen, what they would expect to see, and a FAQ on how to set up a mail client correctly. - during the cutover, - mailboxes left on the home directory were moved to ~/mail, or renamed (e.g. "Sent" -> "00Sent" to avoid name collision for users that had a mixture of correct and blank prefixes. (I think I deleted "Trash", "Junk", etc. anyways). - Namespace aliasing was used so that prefixes "", "mail", "~/mail", and whatever darn fool settings my users used, would map to the same directory. - .subscription files were moved into the mail folder (don't have to edit prefixes since the aliasing will take care of that). - depending on what POP3 client you used (I used qpopper), you may need to configure pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes to avoid a massive re-downloading from POP3 clients after cutover. - the mail clients I control centrally (e.g. webmail, public server mail clients, etc). shouldn't need updating since they ought to have been set up properly in the first place. - after cutover, a second notification was sent for users that didn't move their mailboxes the first time around, and was it done for them during migration. And of course, test like crazy and watch the logs like a hawk. Other gotcha's: - your setup is fairly close to mine, so you may also run into the problem of user having mailboxes with group ownership that users are not part of (for example, group "mail" for INBOX set by your LDA or personal mailboxes with groups the user is no longer a member of) *and* with group permission not mode=0. You'll have to treat these (set mode=0, or change the group to something the user is part of), or the dovecot index creation will fail and they won't be able to access their mailboxes. I think my migration went pretty smoothly. Less than a handful of wazzup' Email problem reports. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Recalculate quota when quota=dict ?

[Dovecot] dovecot 2 doesn't start with managesieve
by nti＠w4w.net 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hi I build dovecot 2.0.16 and and dovecot-pigeonhole-0.2.5 on two machines with the same options. The config files are equivalent. On the first machine everything works fine - on the second dovecot with managesive won't start (without sieve protocol it does). Error: socket() failed: Protocol not supported Error: service(managesieve-login): listen(::, 4190) failed: Protocol not supported Fatal: Failed to start listeners I controlled the config, build pigeonhole a second time - nothing helps. Any idea ? Is there a possibility to debug the start? Nicola ... plugin { ... sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 sieve ... service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } } service managesieve { process_limit = 1024 } ... protocol sieve { managesieve_max_compile_errors = 10 }

[Dovecot] user_filter problem
by sanito＠progresas.lt 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hello, I have a little bit complex setup. I'm trying to use dovecot lmtp and pop3 with user information stored in the LDAP database. The main problem is that email address and pop3 username are different for every mailbox (I cannot change this behaviour, because thousands of people already configured their email client for such a setup). So in my situation, user_filter for lmtp should be: user_filter=(mail=%u), but for pop3 it should be: user_filter=(cn=%u). Please, see: E-mail address: john(a)example.com pop3 username: 0005a pop3 password: very_secure_password And ldap ldiff for this mailbox: dn: cn=0005a,dc=example.com,ou=localmail,ou=mail uid: 0005a mail: john(a)example.com mailbox: /data/mail/example.com/0005a/Maildir/ sn: 0005a description: testing homeDirectory: /data/mail/example.com/0005a cn: 0005a userPassword:: e0NSWVBUfWxpOXBVaEw5SWJkRWc= objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: CourierMailAccount objectClass: top I think I need to use different user_filter for lmtp and pop3, but it's not possible or I cannot find how to do it. Please, help! -- Best regards, dammit

[Dovecot] Possible broken indexer(lucene/solr)?
by Ingo Thierack 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hello, try to use the new 2.1rc and don't get any data in the searchindex. Tried first lucene, and switched than back so solr. If I do an search in an mailfolder, i get in the dovecot-log 2012-02-06 22:17:11 | dovecot: | indexer-worker(xxxxxx): Indexed 0 messages in INBOX/dovecot Log from solr. Feb 6, 2012 10:17:11 PM org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore execute INFO: [] webapp=/solr path=/select params={fl=uid,score&sort=uid+asc&fq=%2Bbox:120ed10bbe9dcd4c8d2e0000f8146a47+%2Buser:"xxxxxxx"&q=body:"solr"&rows=9159} hits=0 status=0 QTime=1 Maybe I miss something. Upgraded from 2.0.15 to 2.1(head from repository yesterday) With 2.0 i see, if i start an search, solr had to work on the mail, now happens nothing. Upgrade the schema.xml, delete the old index. Regard Ingo Thierack

[Dovecot] Homedir vs locations vs mail_location?
by Alexander Chekalin 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hello, I use Dovecot for rather long time, but I'm still in doubt for some small things. Here they are: 1. The homedir value points to the place where everything for the user stored at, while mail_location is something (some place) where mail stored at. if I deal with pure virtual users (all users are in sql tables and no system homes for them at all), should I ever care for returning meaningful value for 'homedir' (via password_query's userdb_home), or I can simple return empty or constant ('' or '123') for it and it won't mess anything? 2. If I use single (default) namespace, should I set namespace's location (to the same value as global mail_location), and should I expect anything strange if I skip it to set? Reversely, is it possible not to set global mail_location and set only namespace's location (which would be more logical as namespace definition is compact and easy to find in config)? I've reread my questions and see it is dummy ones, but I'd like to know that for sure. Thank you in advance, Alexander
