[Dovecot] dovecot global sieve script problem
by Dhaval Patel 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

I cutover to a new server which uses Postfix & Dovecot to handle emails as opposed to Postfix & Courier in the old server. Below is the contents of my global sieve script and dovecot config info. The dovecot-deliver.log does show that the email is being delivered to INBOX.spam but it ends up in the INBOX instead. If I put the exact same rule in the user script, the emails are delivered into the INBOX.spam folder. Currently as a work around, I created user rules for all users and add this. For most users, it is the only rule. So my question is, why does it not work with the global script? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dhaval ------------ contents of globalsieverc ------------- require ["fileinto"]; # Move spam to spam folder if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" ["YES"] { fileinto "INBOX.spam"; stop; } ---------------------------------------------------- ------------ dovecot -n output --------------------- # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem i686 Debian 6.0.1 xfs log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/secure.consoe.com.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/certs/secure.consoe.com.key disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)patel.sh auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path: /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log mail_plugins: sieve global_script_path: /home/vmail/globalsieverc auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: sieve: /home/vmail/sieve/%n.sieve sieve_global_path: /home/vmail/globalsieverc --------------------------------------------------------

[Dovecot] Please help with Quota dict mysql configuration
by Denis Iskandarov 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hello So what i have: centos 5.6 postfix 2.3.3 dovecot 2.0.13 postfixadmin 2.3.3 roundcube 0.5.3 All general things are working right now i can send receive email with ssl connections etc... Now i'm trying to configure additional options like quota and some other plugins like sieve, trash, expire and deleted-to-trash. Configuration of quota is on first place. I have read wiki regarding quota config , dict config but can't make things running. Hope there are normal sample configs you can share with me. I'm total noob in sql, so it's very difficult for me to arrange stuff in a way i need. My configs: dict { quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/conf.d/sql/dovecot-dict-sql.conf # expire = sqlite:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf } dovecot-dict-sql.conf sample i took from postfixadmin docs provided with package, also changed table to quota2 as suggested for dovecot 2: driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfixadmin default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT table = quota2 select_field = current where_field = path username_field = username my sql.conf i took it from tutorial on your wiki : LDA postfix postfixadmin: driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfixadmin user_query = SELECT concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 1001 AS uid, 12 AS gid, concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' #user_query = SELECT maildir, 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid, CONCAT('dict:storage=',floor(quota/1000),' proxy::quota') as quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' password_query = SELECT username as user, password, concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_mail, 1001 as userdb_uid, 12 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' The second user_query string i took from postfixadmin docs. But i dont know how to aply it. If it is better to use with mysql/postfixadmin and after this all i dont how to configure quota.conf (90-quota.conf): plugin { #quota = dirsize:User quota #quota = maildir:User quota #quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota #quota = fs:User quota } # Multiple quota roots are also possible, for example this gives each user # their own 100MB quota and one shared 1GB quota within the domain: plugin { #quota = dict:user::proxy::quota #quota2 = dict:domain:%d:proxy::quota_domain #quota_rule = *:storage=102400 #quota2_rule = *:storage=1048576 } Please help me with configuration. I really stuck with this thing. And yes i've tried to find solutions on mailing list, but no luck. I want per domain/user quota in mysql. Also space usage to be shown in roundcube. Hope to get proper help ... And sorry... Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] Error with Dovecot LDA when using recipient address misses user part
by Nikolaos Milas 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hi, We are using Postfix 2.8.3 with Dovecot 2.0.13 on CentOS 5.6. The problem we have is that sometimes, due to mail sender's error when composing a message, the sender attempts to send an email to "@noa.gr" (without specifying the user part of the address). This results in a Postfix error due to Dovecot LDA use: Jun 22 21:05:31 vmail postfix/pipe[31862]: CC89FC4D210: to=<@noa.gr>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.41, delays=0.24/0.013/0/0.15, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda: option requires an argument -- d Usage: dovecot-lda [-c <config file>] [-a <address>] [-d <username>] [-p <path>] [-f <envelope sender>] [-m <mailbox>] [-e] [-k] ) Postfix master.cf is configured as: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${user} Obviously this happens because in this case there is no ${user} data. My question is: Can we somehow configure things in a way so as to avoid this error when someone sends an email with blank sender data? Can Dovecot provide some meaningful message to postfix (like "No user specified") instead of failing with a "command line usage error"? Thanks, Nick

[Dovecot] Mysql access denied

Currently using dovecot 2.0.12 and mysql server 4.0.20 (I know, it's really old) and having issues getting Dovecot to authenticate to the mysql server. We have confirmed that the credentials are correct and the host machine can access the database, however we are getting the following error: Jun 23 08:12:50 hostname dovecot: auth: Error: mysql(databaseserver.com): Connect failed to database (database): Access denied for user: 'sqladmin(a)ip.of.host.machine' (Using password: YES) - waiting for 1 seconds before retry We are assuming this has something to do with the password hashing algorithm in older versions of mysql, but we are hoping to confirm this theory and find a solution. Thanks.

[Dovecot] Custom Trash (etc) location
by fusionstream 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hi there. I have dovecot 1.2.17 installed on me system. I'd like to create a gmail-esque imap tree where all imap folders except for the inbox are in a subdirectory(?). More importantly, I'd like the email client (specifically thunderbird) to be able to recognise the folders and thusly give it a special trash/junk/etc icon which I presume also makes trash and junk go to, well the truash and junk folders automagically. Based on searching the web, I believe that namespaces are the solution. I believed that I had set it up to be 1) Inbox 2) IMAP - Drafts - Junk - Trash - etc However, when trying to use namespaces, I get IMAP.Drafts, IMAP.Junk and all the other folders also appearing in INBOX, in addition to another top-level IMAP.*. What am I doing wrong? If I understand the solutions posted on the web correctly, solving this (resulting in only one of each type of folder) should make thunderbird automagically recognise these "special folders". This is my configuration: # 1.2.17: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 i686 CentOS release 5.6 (Final) ext3 ssl_ca_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: *[removed]* last_valid_uid: *[removed]* first_valid_gid: *[removed]* last_valid_gid: *[removed]* mail_location: maildir:/var/spool/mail/virtual/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): autocreate mail_plugins(imap): autocreate mail_plugins(pop3): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: IMAP. list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)example.com auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: dovecot-auth passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/mysql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/mysql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 509 user: postfix group: postfix plugin: autocreate: IMAP.Trash autocreate2: IMAP.Spam autocreate3: IMAP.Sent Mail autocreate4: IMAP.Drafts autosubscribe: IMAP.Trash autosubscribe2: IMAP.Spam autosubscribe3: IMAP.Sent Mail autosubscribe4: IMAP.Drafts Any help appreciated.

[Dovecot] Change passwd backend over cron: what happens if changes while reading?
by Denny Schierz 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

hi, I want to use two backends für DoveCot. One generated file from the LDAP tree, and the real LDAP. The first backend is generated from a cronjob thats reads the whole ldap server and converts them into a DoveCot passwd file. I red in the Wiki, if the user password isn't correct, than DoveCot asks the second backend (LDAP). Is this correct? Because, the the user can change his password, but Cron generates only every hour the file. So the password in the passwd-file isn't correct, until Cron runs again. The second, what happens, if Dovecot reads the file and in the same moment, Cron generate the new file? Does he change to the second backend? Or do I (the user) get an error? cu denny

[Dovecot] Performance settings for 500-1000User/per day
by Denny Schierz 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

hi, we have 2.0.13 running and most works well, but today we had some minor problems: The IMAP login process takes sometimes to much time. Over webmail (Roundcube 0.5.0.3) login wasn't sometimes possible, the normal clients hasn't any problems, until they login. We had only ~ 20-30 active accounts, but 50-60 sessions. The most are Apple products (Ip*/Mac/. ..)because they have 4 sessions or more open.

[Dovecot] high number of processes
by Egbert Jan van den Bussche 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Hi, Sometimes a script kiddie tries to guess passwords on our mailserver (Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, postfix, dovecot 1.2.9, scanners, the standard stuff). That leads to a nagios message about the high number of processes. The number goes above 500. Nagios threshold is set to 250, which is more than enough for normal operation of this server. When are these processes supposed to die again? They seem to stay at the high count quite long. Is there a way to limit the generation of extra login processes? Can I tune the login_process... params a bit? I have then all on default. dovecot - n below: root@mail-dev:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -n # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-32-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS log_path: /var/log/dovecot/error.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap pop3 imaps pop3s listen: *, [::] ssl_cert_file: /disk/site/etc/ssl/hobby.nl/hobby.nl.crt ssl_key_file: /disk/site/etc/ssl/hobby.nl/hobby.nl.key ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 200 mail_privileged_group: vmail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mmap_disable: yes dotlock_use_excl: no mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-wrapper.sh mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-wrapper.sh mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-wrapper.sh mail_plugins: convert autocreate mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh lda: postmaster_address: postmaster deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ rejection_subject: Rejected: %s rejection_reason: Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login realms: kader.hcc.nl hobby.nl default_realm: kader.hcc.nl cache_size: 1024 cache_ttl: 10 passdb: driver: pam args: failure_show_msg=yes cache_key=%u dovecot passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: convert_mail: mbox:/disk/mail/convert/%n autocreate: Trash autocreate2: Sent autocreate3: Drafts autocreate4: Spam autosubscribe: Trash autosubscribe2: Sent autosubscribe3: Drafts autosubscribe4: Spam login_process defaults: #login_user = dovecot #login_process_size = 64 #login_process_per_connection = yes #login_processes_count = 3 #login_max_processes_count = 128 #login_max_connections = 256 lsof -n output (part of long list): dovecot-a 12941 root 17u unix 0xffff88012a457300 0t0 13606994 /var/run/dovecot/login/default dovecot-a 12941 root 18u unix 0xffff8800272bd800 0t0 13565904 /var/run/dovecot/login/default dovecot-a 12941 root 19u unix 0xffff8800a68a9800 0t0 13610586 /var/run/dovecot/login/default TNX for any advise!

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.13 and sieve
by Claudio Prono 22 Jun '11

Hello all, I am testing Dovecot 2.0.13, with sieve for the vacation. I have some problems with the :regex as i can see... An example: # Sieve Filter # Generato da Ingo (http://www.horde.org/ingo/) (10/06/2011, 04:45:07) require ["vacation", "regex"]; # Vacanze if allof ( not exists ["list-help", "list-unsubscribe", "list-subscribe", "list-owner", "list-post", "list-archive", "list-id", "Mailing-List"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :is "Precedence" ["list", "bulk", "junk"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :matches "To" "Multiple recipients of*" ) { if header :regex "Received" "^.*(2011) (\$.*\$ )?..:..:..

Then, if i modify the script commenting all the regex for the date, the result is the following: sieve-test .dovecot.sieve new/1307715082.M173915P16839.mail2\,S\=1138\,W\=1168 sieve-test(root): Debug: Effective uid=0, gid=0, home=/root sieve-test(root): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/var/mail/virtual//root sieve-test(root): Debug: maildir++: root=/var/mail/virtual//root, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/virtual//root sieve-test(root): Debug: none: root=, index=, control=, inbox= Performed actions: * send vacation message: => seconds : 604800 => subject: Test autoresponder => handle : test autoresponder 22Test autoresponder<default-from><NO-MIME> START MESSAGE test autoresponder 22 END MESSAGE Implicit keep: * store message in folder: INBOX sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success But the date is right: date Fri Jun 10 17:22:14 CEST 2011 So, what is wrong?

[Dovecot] LIST-EXTENDED support?
by fusionstream 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Hi there. Can I check if LIST-EXTENDED refers to RFC 6154 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6154) rfc for special use mailboxes. I'd like to specify a designated folder as \Spam and etc. Googling "dovecot list-extended" and "dovecot special use" suggests that dovecot supports this feature (via patch logs and 1 bug report for Mozilla Thunderbird which suggests that dovecot supports this). However when trying to test this feature via thunderbird, it would seem to suggest that it is not currently possible. (Moving folders that Thunderbird has created forces thunderbird to recreate said folder in it's original location) # dovecot --version 1.2.17 Any help/pointers appreciated. Cheers.

[Dovecot] DoveCot LDA/Postfix deliver by address
by Zhou, Yan 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Hi there, I am using DoveCot 1.0.7 and virtual users. We want to integrate with Postfix 2.3.3 to use DoveCot LDA to deliver messages to user mailbox. All users are stored in LDAP. DoveCot looks up user by LDAP access. Our user name is not necessarily part of the address. For instance, address "zhouy@xxxx" may be with user "yzhou", thus all messages to "zhouy@xxxx" should go to /home/vmail/yzhou/Maildir I do not see how LDA can support a two-step lookup: 1. Look up user from the given address, 2. Lookup user mail directory from the user in step 1. My understanding is that /etc/dove-ldap.conf is a one-step lookup, it only does user lookup (without password lookup). Any suggestions?

[Dovecot] DoveCot LDA/Postfix get address rather than user from messages
by Zhou, Yan 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Hi there, We are using Postfix and DoveCot 1.0.7, using DoveCot LDA/Postfix to deliver messages to mailboxes via LDAP lookup. My Postfix 2.3.3 /etc/postfix/master.cf reads like this dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=Rhu user=hubdirect argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} And my /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf reads like this: user_filter = (&(objectClass=DirectUser)(username=%n)) user_attrs = userreference=user,usermaildirectory=mail,userhomedirectory=home I find the above "%n" value in "user_filter" I am getting is always the address, not "user part in user@domain" as the documentation says. Did I miss anything? Thanks, Yan Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this electronic transmission is confidential and may be legally privileged.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.1.20+NFS OS changed issue
by गौरव जोशी 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Hi, I am facing a wierd issue on dovecot while migrating OS of the server. I have CentOS 5.2 32bit OS , Dovecot 1.1.20 with NFS on the server. When I am migrating it to CenOS 5.6 32bit with same Dovecot version. I compiled the same version i.e. 1.1.20 again. Now when I check the number of connection on this new server I can see only 8-10 connections for IMAP and 8-10 for POP3, where on old server I can still see the number of connections crosses 500+. I checked system level configuration which I found identical, limits set to same as old server, still no change in number of connections. I even tried the above exercise on CentOS 5.6 64bit version. again the result is same. I have tried all the changes/configurations I could think of.

[Dovecot] Error

I tested POP3 access from my laptop's Outlook which is on the same subnet as the dovecot/postfix server (so there's no firewall in between them & was able to get the emails in Outlook with following statuses shown when "Test Connection" is clicked: > Tasks Status > ===================== ======== > Establish network connection Completed > Find outgoing mail server (SMTP) Completed > Find incoming mail server (POP3) Completed > Log onto incoming mail server (POP3) Completed > Send test e-mail message Completed # dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: NOTE: You can get a new clean config file with: doveconf -n > dovecot-new.conf doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:24: ssl_disable has been renamed to ssl # OS: Linux 2.6.12.6-xen0 i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 2) disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/pop3/spool/mail/%u mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } protocols = pop3 imap ssl = no ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } However, maillog has the following errors (172.19.21.23 is my laptop).

[Dovecot] dovecot-metadata-8 released
by Dennis Schridde 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

Hello everyone! I just released dovecot-metadata-8, which is an implementation of RFC 5464 (IMAP METADATA), allowing to add comments/annotations/metadata to folders of an email account. The major feature is that it works with Akonadi, or more specifically the Kolab backend thereof, while being dovecot-2.0 compatible. The module consists of 3 plugins, two IMAP frontends and one backend: * "imap-annotatemore" is a partial implementation of draft-daboo-imap- annotatemore-08 (early predecessor to RFC 5464), based on work by Bernhard Herzog (Intevation GmbH). The sole intention is to support Kolab, not to strictly implement the draft. * "imap-metadata" is a complete implementation of RFC 5464. Kolab clients do not (yet) use these commands. * "metadata" is the common backend imap-metadata and metadata were entirely written from scratch, while imap- annotatemore is an adaption of the work by Bernhard Herzog to the new backend. You can download the code via Hg [1] or as exported tarball [2] from the Hg webinterface. Please note that the README is outdated, as are some other files. The build process is pretty much straightforward, just make sure you have the dovecot headers available on your system: ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-dovecot=/path/to/dovecot make make install Next you need to adjust your dovecot config. The following works for me: == dovecot.conf == dict { metadata = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-metadata } == 10-mail.conf == mail_plugins = ... metadata == 20-imap.conf == protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins ... imap_metadata imap_annotatemore } == 90-plugin.conf == plugin { metadata_dict = proxy::metadata } To allow a Kolab client to find (e.g.) the addressbook folder, issue this IMAP command after login: SETMETADATA "path/to/folder" ("/shared/vendor/kolab/folder-type" "contact") If you find any bugs (crashes, incompatibilities with RFC 5464, etc), please write me a mail. Be advised that this code is still experimental and might crash your server! @Timo: Please have a look at the src/*-ext.[ch] files, they contain extensions to the dovecot libraries and might be useful for others, too. Kind regards, Dennis Schridde [1] http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-metadata-plugin [2] http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-metadata-plugin/archive/bdf2445e101f.tar.gz

[Dovecot] Gmail like virtual mailboxes
by Aleve Sicofante 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

I'm new to this list so let me introduce myself: I'm a computer literate user (I've done some C programming long ago and can run a Linux system and do some light admin), I've never installed a mail server before and I'm in the process of migrating my family and my small business from Gmail (Google Apps) to a virtual server mainly for privacy reasons. I'm in love with Gmail's label system and I just plain hate traditional folders. I use hierarchical labels (as if they were folders but with a message belonging to many at the same time) and that MUST be preserved in the migration. I've looked at Courier's IMAP keywords implementation and it looks good, but everyone on the internet is recommending Dovecot, so here I am. I've tried hard to find information about using unlimited hierarchical labels, virtual mailboxes or any other way of mimicing Gmail's functionality with Dovecot, but I'm lost. First of all: can it be done? If so, is there any introductory documentation? (I've only found very sparse information.) Is it available for any storage format (mbox, maildir, dbox)? Any help will be very appreciated. -- Aleve Sicofante

Vacation (Sieve) replies to the envelope address. However, I have a customer which receive e-mails from a service which sends e-mails on behalf of a user (submitted through a web form). So an e-mail would be like (envelope from and from-header is webformfromwhatever(a)foobar.com) From: webformfromwhatever(a)foobar.com To: mycustomer(a)hisdomain.com Reply-To: usersrealmailaddress(a)example.com I need the reply to go to the reply-to address. Can I handle this with Sieve? -- Vegard Svanberg <vegard(a)svanberg.no> [*Takapa@IRC (EFnet)]

Can I use the .DEFAULT files with global acls to access all mailboxes without explicitly sharing them first? Or must a share be created for every individual mailbox before they will appear in the shared namespace? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] ACL Groups
by Daniel L. Miller 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

From the wiki: ACL groups support works by returning a comma-separated acl_groups extra field <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields> from userdb, which contains all the groups the user belongs to. User's UNIX groups have no effect on ACLs (you can "enable" them by using a special post-login script <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting>). I've read that over several times - I still don't understand that. Are "ACL Groups" defined and managed by Dovecot - and described somewhere else in the docs - or are they UNIX groups that previously had no affect on mail access but by being listed in the "acl_groups" field they now have relevance? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] ACL enabled Public folder dovecot
by kumar shantanu 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hi All, I am trying to do ACL enabled Public folder on dovecot version 1.1.20, but the ACL thing is not working, the public folder is visible and accessible to everyone. My dovecot config for public folder is like ######## namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/mail/public subscriptions = no } plugin { acl = vfile } ######### and I have my dovecot-acl file in /var/mail/public/.test which reads ** user=test(a)mydomain.com lrw ** but every user can see the public folders and subscribe to it, which I don't want :( Can someone please suggest. Thanks in Advance, Shantanu

[Dovecot] Converting CLIENT_MAIL_DATA_MAX_INMEMORY_SIZE to a configurable?
by Attila Nagy 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hi, Currently Dovecot's LMTPd writes incoming emails to mail_temp_dir if it's bigger than 128k. But I would like to spare those unnecessary operations (creating a file, deleting it, writing into it, reading from it, checking whether there is free space and if not, rejecting (temporarily) the message). Memory is cheap, disk IO is not. :) And BTW, on a lot of systems, /tmp is a memory file system already, so there is absolute no need for this. I only fired two greps so far before writing this mail, in the hope that I can spare writing, testing and sending a patch, which will be either rejected, or rewritten. :) So, am I right that the following constant would be needed to be converted into a configurable setting and the task is done? static int client_input_add(struct client *client, const unsigned char *data, size_t size) { if (client->state.mail_data->used + size <= CLIENT_MAIL_DATA_MAX_INMEMORY_SIZE && client->state.mail_data_output == NULL) { buffer_append(client->state.mail_data, data, size); return 0; } else { return client_input_add_file(client, data, size); } } It could be defaulted to 128k, but the user could set it "unlimited" (0 or -1, depending on the author's mood, 0 and/or -1 being unlimited, or 0 being 0, meaning don't even store a bit -doesn't really make sense to me). LMTP is mostly protected from the outside world, so I don't see too much DoS potential here (absolutely not more than in the tmpfs case). Thanks,

[Dovecot] I can't setup namespace per user (with settings keept in sql db)
by Marcin Mirosław 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hello! I'm trying to setup additional namespace. I'd like to have this setting per user and keep it in postgresql. Global namespace is defined in this way: namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . } (mail_location is getting from db) I don't know how should looks like database field:( Now i have such configuration: user_query = select .... dovecot_location AS location, dovecot_namespace AS namespace FROM ...

Re: [Dovecot] ZFS Filesystem Quota under Solaris 10 and Sparc

The original zfs implementation didn't have user quotas. You could only add quotas to individual file systems as a whole. They apparently added it into the source base in 2009: http://blogs.oracle.com/chrisg/entry/user_and_group_quotas_for but I'm not sure when/if it made it to production. My sol10u8 * (10/09) has it in the man page, but I know some things in the man page isn't in s10 (like sharesmb), so, as they say, ymmv. The current doc for user quotas are here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gazud/index.html If you don't want to use the filesystem quotas, you have to change your rules/configuration to match what dovecot has. See doc/wiki/Quota.Configuration.txt. Hope this helps. -r

[Dovecot] quota_rule beeing ignored and set to system soft! quota
by Leon Meßner 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Hi, originating from the same Problem Edgar Fuß described here [1] about "Zero-sized Maildir files and index corruption on over-quota" i setup quota = fs:user quotas with a quota_rule set to 1.5G to prevent getting those zero sized mail files. What happens now is that when the user is over system soft quota (1G) mails stop beeing delivered. Jun 16 19:05:45 mail dovecot: deliver(elont1): msgid=<20110616185545.05ab0f56@x201t>: save failed to INBOX: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) This is bad as users get notified per mail by a script about beeing over quota (this mail is now beeing deferred). If i don't set a quota_rule i still get 0byte files (quota is ignored). If i set a higher than system quota quota_rule it still uses the system soft quota. I have a seconary mailserver which already uses dovecot 2.x but i can't test the feature there as it's running inside a jail and thus has no access to quota. I would like to keep this machine on 1.2.16 for now. dovecot -n output is below. thanks, Leon [1] http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-October/053554.html 19:20_root@mail:/usr/local/etc# dovecot -n # 1.2.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE-p2 amd64 log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imaps pop3s managesieve listen: mail.physik-pool.tu-berlin.de ssl_cert_file: /etc/private/mail.physik.tu-berlin.de.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/private/physik.tu-berlin.de_privatekey.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login login_processes_count: 6 login_max_processes_count: 512 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 200 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/maildir mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(managesieve): namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: mail/ location: mbox:~/mail list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)physik.tu-berlin.de log_path: info_log_path: mail_plugins: sieve quota quota_full_tempfail: yes sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail auth default: mechanisms: gssapi plain login krb5_keytab: /etc/mail.krb5.keytab gssapi_hostname: mail.physik-pool.tu-berlin.de worker_max_count: 120 passdb: driver: pam args: session=yes failure_show_msg=yes max_requests=100 userdb: driver: passwd args: blocking=yes plugin: sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/.sieve quota_rule: *:storage=15728640 quota: fs:user

[Dovecot] Global ACLs
by Daniel L. Miller 16 Jun '11

If I have: plugin { acl = vfile:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300 } And then a file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/global-acls/.DEFAULT with owner lrwstipekxa user=dmiller lrwstipekxa Does that give me unconditional access to all mailboxes? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] Removal of mailist duplicates?
by Peter Bell 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

I am using mpop to fetch mail from my service provider (who use dovecot). I use dovecot to hold all my mail on a local slackware server, with sieve filters, based on 'List-Id', directing mailist postings to their own folders. I use thunderbird to read my mail on an ubuntu desktop. When I receive a reply to a posting I make to a mailist (such as this one), replies I receive are usually sent to me with cc to the list. I would expect, then, to receive the message twice - once in my personal mailbox, and once to the mailist folder. However, this doesn't happen - I only see the posting in the mailist folder. Can anyone tell me at which stage in the process the other message is being supressed? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Bell Mob: +63 (0) 9287 340 343 Tagum City, Philippines.
