[Dovecot] Configure Dovecot to move read mails to another folder?
by Steven Weiß 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hallo, is it possible (with dovecot sieve?) to deliver incoming mails to the default INBOX and then, when I have read the mail with Thunderbird, automatically move it to another folder? I know I could create filters in my mail client. But that has the disadvantage that I would need to create these filters everywhere: on my office PC, at home, webmail, ... Also moving a mail from one folder to another marks the original mail as deleted, at least in Thunderbird. Maybe other clients finally delete the mail. Therefore that would be really cool. Another related problem for me is: how can I automatically move outgoing mails to another folder? I created sieve-rules but it doesn't work - the mails remain in the folder "sent-mail". For example: if address :domain :is "to" "somedomain.de" { fileinto "sent-mail.Somedomain"; stop; } Greetings, Steven

[Dovecot] Double logging problem
by Nikolaos Milas 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi, I have a relatively new installation with LDAP and Postfix, running smoothly on CentOS but it logs dovecot messages both in /var/log/messages and in /var/log/dovecot.log. I have configured it to log in /var/log/dovecot.log (with syslog_facility: local1 and a respective line in syslog.conf, see below) but it also logs in /var/log/messages. As a result, I would expect it to only log into /var/log/dovecot.log. Can someone suggest why this happens and help me stop logging dovecot messages in /var/log/messages ? Could it be because the following directive (in syslog.conf) does not capture dovecot messages to exclude them? *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages Could I use something like (in syslog.conf): *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;dovecot.none /var/log/messages to capture dovecot messages and *exclude* them from /var/log/messages ? I am not sure if syslog understands "dovecot.none". Please explain how this could be done. Here is the configuration (I've changed real domain name with example.com) # dovecot --version 1.2.11 # dovecot -n # 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.centos.plus x86_64 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) syslog_facility: local1 ssl_ca_file: /etc/pki/CA/certs/cert-xxx.pem ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/CA/certs/cert-xxx.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/CA/private/key-xxx.pem 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 mail_max_userip_connections(default): 10 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 10 mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 3 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir/ mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh 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(a)example.com auth default: mechanisms: plain login username_format: %Lu verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/vmail/%u socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix plugin: quota: maildir:User quota quota_rule: *:storage=307200 quota_warning: storage=75%% /opt/mail.sh 75 %u # grep -v '^ *$#.*$\?$' /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf hosts = ldap.example.com tls = yes base = ou=people, dc=example, dc=com scope = subtree ldap_version = 3 auth_bind = yes pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com pass_filter = (uid=%u) And the content of /etc/syslog.conf # cat /etc/syslog.conf # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.* /dev/console # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages # The authpriv file has restricted access. authpriv.* /var/log/secure # Log all the mail messages in one place. mail.* -/var/log/maillog # Log cron stuff cron.* /var/log/cron # Everybody gets emergency messages *.emerg * # Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file. uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler # Save boot messages also to boot.log local7.* /var/log/boot.log # Dovecot messages will be using local1 local1.* /var/log/dovecot.log #local2.* /var/log/php.log local3.* /var/log/sympa.log Thanks, Nick Milas Greece P.S.

[Dovecot] Cyrus to Dovecot migration (OS X Server): Backup + restore messages, live "standby server" and delayed expunge and…
by Thomas von Eyben 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Hi List, I am very close to migrating from Cyrus to Dovecot (to be more precise from Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 to 10.6.4). The latter is reporting the dovecotd version to be 1.1.20apple0.5. All I have read about dovecot is extremely positive so I am exited to make the switch. BACKUP: BUT I would like to be sure that I can make a sound backup strategy. For Cyrus i used topicdesk's mailbfr (a script that stops the mailservice and then rsync's the mailstore to a backup location incrementing daily and restarting a complete backup weekly). This script is not yet ready for Dovecot, but from what I have read it should be as easy as "just" backing up the mail-data (/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail in OS X), eg. with rsync. Our current setup is requiring ca. 11 hours for a full (200+ GB) backup (weekly) this is not good for uptime… RESTORE: Restore should be the same (well reverse) "just" restoring the files and making sure the get the correct permissions. What I am not sure about is the (cyrus specific) need for reconstructing the database, as I have read (on this list) it seems that dovecot is designed better and will "automatically" recognised the restored messages without the need to reconstruct any databases or stopping+restarting the service. Is this really true ,-)? NB.: For restores I plan to always restore to a specific subfolder for the user (eg RESTORED MAIL) as opposed to placing the mails within the folder hierachy LIVE BACKUP SERVER I have been told, that dovecot provides clever mechanisms for making it possible to synchronise the data to a "hot-spare" server. Both for being able to provide access to the data during breakdown or planned maintenance, but perhaps also to make backups easier (perhaps not needed?) DELAYED DELETION OF MESSAGES I believe that the feature is called "delayed expunge", a way of not deleting the messages until after an additional delay from the time the user deletes the message. Is this possible in dovecot? DOCUMENTATION Where would the best FAQ/KB for getting to know dovecot better be, perhaps there have even been written good books (I know old fashioned, but I really like the physical hands on a real book provides ;-) It's a lot of questions and I hope for good pointers to where I can find more documentation and good feedback from the list.

[Dovecot] IMAP IDLE, Virtual mailboxes
by Patrick Nagel 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, K-9 Mail (on Android) has been mentioned on this list multiple times recently, I think it's definitely an IMAP client "on the rise". :) It supports IMAP IDLE, and so brings "push mail" to Android mobile phone users. To bring this into the context of this mailing list: I guess a lot of people on this list are making use of server-side filtering (using sieve), so that mails from certain persons or mailing lists end up in the right mailboxes, right on delivery. Now, this is all great, but there are issues when server-side filtering and IMAP IDLE come together: Only one mailbox can be "watched" with one IMAP IDLE connection. So, people who have set up elaborate server-side filtering with say, 50 different sieve "fileinto" calls, will constantly have a *lot* of IMAP IDLE connections open, if they really want to get informed of any mail arriving in any of their mailboxes. Keeping those 50 IMAP connections open wouldn't cost much bandwidth, and who cares about the Internet router's connection tables getting unnecessarily big, anyway? But then there is the "problem" of a mobile phone being carried around constantly, switching physical connections (from WLAN access point 1 to WLAN access point 2 to 3G to 2G to no connection at all and back), every time needing to terminate* those 50 IMAP connections, and then establish 50 new ones (with SSL handshake overhead and all). So, all in all, not an optimal solution. *) (which does not always happen the way it should, see http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=1255) I see two ways to improve the situation (one of them quite dovecot-centric): 1) A new extension of the IMAP protocol: IMAP MULTI-IDLE, which somehow allows a client to get notified of changes to more than one mailbox within one IMAP connection. This conflicts with the basic IMAP design though, AFAIK, and is thus not likely to be feasible. 2) Enhancing dovecot's Virtual plugin, so virtual mailboxes do not only get updated on select and expunge, but also when anything changes that affects the set of messages shown in the virtual mailbox. I guess that would have an impact on performance, and thus should be optional. Let me explain the second one: With the help of the Virtual plugin, it is possible to pull all those 50 mailboxes that receive incoming mail together again, just like the INBOX of the pre-server-side-filtering times - the user could configure a virtual mailbox to show all unread mails from those 50 mailboxes. Now the mobile IMAP IDLE users could just watch that one virtual mailbox, needing only one IMAP IDLE connection. After having read the mail (directly in the virtual mailbox), it would disappear, but of course still be in the "real" mailbox, determined by the sieve filter on delivery.

[Dovecot] sender address of sieve vacation script
by Wolfgang Burger 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Hi, not entirerly sure wether this is the right place to ask. Sorry if not. I´m running dovecot on a Mac OS X Server (10.6.4). Everything works fine. When I try to enable a vacation message, I get the following error in the log: delays=0/0.01/0.09/0.1, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host XXX[x.x.x.x] said: 553 Mail to <name(a)domain.tld> not allowed; missing domain name in MAIL FROM (in reply to RCPT TO command)) Where host is the mail relay. The logs on the mail relay show matching entries. Sending mails is generally working. I´ve sniffed the network traffic and the FROM Field in the SMTP transfer contains only the following text: <> I´ve allready set the value of myorigin in /private/etc/postfix/ main.cf but to no avail. Can somebody tell me where I can set the sender address of the vacation mail? Or is there something else wrong? Thank you very much. Best regards Wolfgang

I didn't find anything interesting in the search, so I just wanted to see what other people have done (or thought about doing). I'd like to be able to access my dovecot server via IMAP, from the Internet, using the integrated e-mail client from a smart phone. I'm very concerned about security and don't feel comfortable just poking holes into the firewall for direct access from the Internet. Is there a better way to do this?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.13 intermittent authentication failures
by C. Bensend 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Hey folks, I recently upgraded my mail server from an older OpenBSD -CURRENT snapshot to the latest (Aug 1). As part of this upgrade, I updated all of my packages to their latest versions. Since this upgrade, dovecot has begun failing to authenticate intermittently. I use it primarily for web mail (Squirrelmail 1.4.20) and leave myself logged in during the day. This problem manifests itself by kicking me back to the "Username or password incorrect" screen occasionally (several times an hour) when the page refreshes. I am not using sieve, and while I have the PostgreSQL version of the OpenBSD package installed, I do not currently use it for authentication. I am authenticating against the OpenBSD system. The only error I get in the mail log is: Aug 3 11:00:09 fusion dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<benny>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured There are no errors in the Apache error log... Squirrelmail's version wasn't upgraded, so I don't think this is a Squirrelmail problem as far as I can tell. My config is pretty simple: # 1.2.13: /etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 128 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 640). Either grow the limit or change login_max_processes_count and max_mail_processes settings # OS: OpenBSD 4.8 i386 base_dir: /var/dovecot/ listen: *, [::1] ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/webmail.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/webmail.key login_dir: /var/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_user: _dovecot mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mbox_write_locks: fcntl imap_client_workarounds: delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep namespace: type: private prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)example.com auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: bsdauth userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: _postfix group: _postfix Everything seems to be working just fine (ie, I don't get any other IMAP errors or see any problems), it's just that it will spontaneously fail to authenticate. When this happens, it may take more than one try to get logged back in. I checked with the OpenBSD port's maintainer, and he hadn't heard of any similar issues (and he uses it himself). Can anyone please help? Thank you so much! Benny -- "Something's going on in this house - last night, I saw a face!" "Did it have a nose?" "Yes!"

[Dovecot] IMAP/POP3 Proxy Redundancy
by Cory 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Looking over the list archives and Wiki there doesn't seem to be any sort of built-in host redundancy with the proxy. I would prefer to use a built in though it doesn't look like this is possible. One of the suggestions that I found in the list archives was to write a script which checks the health of the hosts and adjusts the MySQL table accordingly. Has anyone done anything like this in production? Thanks, Cory Here is a sample of what I'm testing the proxy with. CREATE TABLE `users` ( `user` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `filesystem` varchar(5) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`user`), UNIQUE KEY `idx_user` (`user`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 CREATE TABLE `hostmap` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `filesystem` varchar(5) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Filesystem identifier', `ip` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, `alive` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1', PRIMARY KEY (`id`), UNIQUE KEY `idx_hostmap` (`filesystem`,`ip`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=103 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 password_query = SELECT user,NULL as password, INET_NTOA(hostmap.ip) as host, 'Y' AS proxy_maybe from users left join hostmap on users.filesystem=hostmap.filesystem where hostmap.alive=1 and users.user='%u' limit 1;

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.rc3 Capability response
by Christian Affolter 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Hi I have a question regarding the IMAP CAPABILITY command behavior of Dovecot 2.0.rc3. While connecting to a Dovecot 1.2.4 server and requesting the supported capabilities, Dovecot returns all capabilities: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. a1 CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH ACL RIGHTS=texk QUOTA AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5 a1 OK Capability completed. Doing the same on 2.0.rc3, will return only a limited set of supported capabilities: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. a1 CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN a1 OK Capability completed. However after a user has logged in, Dovecot 2.0.rc3 returns all supported capabilities: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. a1 login user(a)example.com pass a1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in a2 CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA ACL RIGHTS=texk a2 OK Capability completed So what's the idea behind the change of this behavior? Is it planned to support different capabilities per user in the future? The reason behind my question is, that the Open-Xchange IMAP client implementation relies on the presence of the ACL capability presented before the actual login took place. Thanks for any clarifications. Regards Christian

[Dovecot] OT dovecot w/postfix, mysql , postfix does unnecessary lookups
by Noel Butler 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

I know this unnecessary lookups question is really a postfix one, but I'm curious if anyone else sees the behaviour of postfix continuing looking up users after it clearly have got its answer that it is "not a local domain" response. (this msg is an extract from what I sent to WV some time ago, with him showing absolutely no interest, I got bored tonight so thought I'd throw it on this list since the question remains valid today) 30 Query SELECT 1 FROM virtual_domains WHERE name='example.net' AND active ='1' 31 Query SELECT destination FROM view_aliases WHERE email='someuser(a)example.net' Should that not have ended its lookups at Q30 and not gone on to ask Q31 which it now knows is not local? Secondly, it seems to do "double lookups" of destination and email before it gets to dovecots deliver, has anyone else ran a log on mysql and seen same? I'm trying to work out why, since it already has its answer by Q54 and Q55, it is doing Q56 and Q57, which seem pointless... 54 Connect 54 Query SELECT destination FROM view_aliases WHERE email='laura(a)example.com' 55 Connect 55 Query SELECT email FROM view_users WHERE email='laura(a)example.com' 56 Connect 56 Query SELECT destination FROM view_aliases WHERE email='laura(a)example.com' 57 Connect 57 Query SELECT email FROM view_users WHERE email='laura(a)example.com' So, it to me appears postifx does more work then it needs too since it already knows the answer, I consider this a flaw in postfix, yet perhaps I am the only one seeing it hence why WV couldnt give a shit. just curious if anyone has noted same or not....

P.S. I just tried it with 1.2.13 as well - still the same issue. Am I doing something wrong, or is this really a bug now!? Best Regards Leander S. Hi, Has anyone got the chance to get this running? I'm permanently getting this Serverbug error ... ;( *"[SERVERBUG] failed to send email"* ... This happens when I try to drag&drop mails from one to the other folder within a IMAP-session. What version of Dovecot must I have to get this plugin working? Or will it generally be broken in upcoming new releases of Dovecot? Best Regards Leander S.

[Dovecot] problem with mail_full_filesystem_access = yes
by Ladislav Pašek 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Hello, I have configured Dovecot 1.2.12 with Postfix 2.6.5 and everything is working fine. But tomorrow I wanted to run IMAP ALCs and from log I found that this plugin is conflicting with parameter mail_full_filesystem_access = yes in my config. But when I set mail_full_filesystem_access = no it stops authorization for postfix with this message: <pasek(a)valbek.cz>: Command died with signal 11: "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver" Does anybody know what could be wrong in my config? I've spend a night with it but without success. You can see my Dovecot here: http://www.volny.cz/vykupitel/Pictures/mail/dovecot.conf http://www.volny.cz/vykupitel/Pictures/mail/dovecot-ldap.conf and Postfix here: http://www.volny.cz/vykupitel/Pictures/mail/main.cf http://www.volny.cz/vykupitel/Pictures/mail/master.cf http://www.volny.cz/vykupitel/Pictures/mail/ldap-users.cf http://www.volny.cz/vykupitel/Pictures/mail/ldap-groups.cf Thanks in Advance Ladislav

[Dovecot] Convert plugin
by Egbert 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi, I'm trying to convert users from a sendmail server to a postfix/dovecot server. All works fine but one of the last things is to rescue the messages in /var/mail/<user> on the old server. This seems very straitforward using the convert plugin but with the settings from the wiki, nothing happens when the user logs in. Do I need a private namespace for this as suggested elsewhere in the wiki? I experimented with mb2md.pl and that seems to do what we need but having the old mail converted upon login is much more attractive. In that way we hope that we can also find some 'dead' users. TIA Egbert Jan

[Dovecot] Plugin Handle input messages
by Alex Baule 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi Timo.... I try to change my plugin to read the input email to increase a header line and one \r\n. But i need help to get this input.... My plugin is based in zlib plugin. In "static int zlib_permail_get_stream" function, have it. if (imail->data.stream != NULL || (_mail->uid == 0 && zuser->save_handler == NULL)) { return zmail->super.get_stream(_mail, hdr_size, body_size, stream_r); } I think this is the line that return the stream that is the stream sent by client. I try to change this line and put inside this IF , a call to my function to handle with the input email from client. But i got some errors about the input part. In other email, Timo said, to get the S and W flags in the email name, i need to intercept the email input from client to dovecot, in this part is done the W and S calculation. Timo, where is the part that i can get the input from client ?

[Dovecot] Mbox corruption - Inbox beginning with 'FFrom' or 'FrFrom'
by Henri Khou 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi, Since the 23rd of March, we encounter mailbox corruption for some users (15 out of 5000) using POP mainly via Thunderbird. Symptoms are : -users can login but fail to receive new mails and fail to read their inbox -Dovecot.log : ar 29 11:00:06 Error: POP3(user_login): Couldn't init INBOX: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox -The mailbox start with either 'FFrom or 'FrFrom' We can temporarily fix the issue by manually editing the mailbox so that it begins with a proper 'From'. For some users, the problem reoccurred after we apply this workaround. I have to mention that this server has been running fine since almost a year with the current hardware and software configuration. Does anybody has an idea regarding this issue?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.rc3 doesn't compile with custom OpenSSL
by Andreas M. Kirchwitz 03 Aug '10

Hi folks, when building Dovecot 2.0.rc3 (never used any other 2.0.X before, so this issue might not be new to that specific release), then compilation fails on anything that is linked against the new "libdovecot-login.so" library. For example, "imap-login" fails: /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 -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o imap-login client.o client-authenticate.o imap-login-settings.o imap-proxy.o ../../src/login-common/libdovecot-login.la ../../src/lib-dovecot/libdovecot.la -lrt libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o .libs/imap-login client.o client-authenticate.o imap-login-settings.o imap-proxy.o ../../src/login-common/.libs/libdovecot-login.so ../../src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so -lrt -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/Dovecot-2.0.rc3/lib/dovecot /usr/bin/ld: warning: libcrypto.so.1.0.0, needed by ../../src/login-common/.libs/libdovecot-login.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /usr/bin/ld: warning: libssl.so.1.0.0, needed by ../../src/login-common/.libs/libdovecot-login.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) ../../src/login-common/.libs/libdovecot-login.so: undefined reference to `OBJ_txt2nid' [...] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [imap-login] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/dovecot-2.0.rc3/src/imap-login' I'm not using system OpenSSL but a custom installation in /usr/local/ssl. According to the documentation, Dovecot is smart enough to get everything it needs from the /usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc files. Dovecot 1.2.X just compiles fine if configured like this: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/${DOVECOTVER} --with-ssl=openssl The problem with Dovecot 2.0.rc3 is, that libdovecot-login.so isn't given the correct pathes for the OpenSSL libraries: $ ldd src/login-common/.libs/libdovecot-login.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00b6e000) libssl.so.1.0.0 => not found libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00b2a000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x004d4000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00110000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x006e7000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x009c6000) So everything depending on libdovecot-login.so will fail. Setting "SSL_CFLAGS" and "SSL_LIBS" manually doesn't help because Dovecot already sets these perfectly fine via pkg-config: 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/${DOVECOTVER} --with-ssl=openssl Only the hard way works: env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/ssl/lib -lcrypto -lssl" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/${DOVECOTVER} --with-ssl=openssl However, setting CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS shouldn't be necessary because SSL_CFLAGS and SSL_LIBS already contain the information that is needed to build a proper library. They are just not used when linking libdovecot-login.so ;-) Greetings, Andreas

[Dovecot] Date problem after import
by Andreas Schenk 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi, am running into an import problem: After I upgraded an Mac OS X 10.5.8 Server to Mac OS X 10.6, not all, but quite some mails show wrong dates. They are dated to the year 2020, which is obviously not possible for mail that has been sent long ago. Now 10.5 to 10.6 is a move from cyrus to dovecot and the migration scripts used by Apple are supposed to do a nice migration. I have seen this suceed a lot of times, but this time not. As far as I understand, dovecot uses the modification date of the email to build its index and deleting the index should make it being rebuilt. But my "wrong" emails also have wrong modification dates. Only the headers inside the mail text still show the correct dates. My guess is, that something got wrong when migrating from cyrus. Even maybe the cyrus db might have been corrupt in the first place. As I can't go back and reimport I have to live with the situation. My plan to fix it is to write a script to traverse the mailbox hierarchy, delete the index files and have all email files with a modification date in 2020 be set to a modification date that is extracted from its contents "Date:" header. Now my question is, if you think this way is good, feasible or if another solution springs to the mind of those more adept with dovecot. Any help is appreciated.

Hello! When I migrans mailbox from one server to the second file subscribe "/" is replaced by a point "." the first file server subscription: & BB4EMQRJBDgENQ-& BD8EMAQ, BDoEOA-/firstname.secondname after migration to the second server: & BB4EMQRJBDgENQ-& BD8EMAQ, BDoEOA-.firstname.secondname on the second server before migration mailbox was not. After fixing the subscription file on the second server sync two mailboxes passes without problems. >From the outside for my English, I use Google Translator

[Dovecot] Dsync ignores INBOX when converting from mbox to maildir
by Jan Vítek 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi, I am trying to convert email box in mbox format to maildir++. It converts all folders except INBOX. For example: dsync -D -v -f -u 'info(a)example.org' mirror 'maildir:~/Maildir' prints: dsync(info(a)example.org): Info: Sport: only in source So it converts Sport folder, but INBOX folder is ignored. dovecot.conf contains: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u File /var/mail/info(a)example.org contains email messages. Dovecot is in version v2.0.rc3. Do you have any advice what am I doing wrong? -- Kind Regards Jan Vítek ČESKÝ WEBHOSTING s.r.o. Tel: +420 605 25 25 25 E-mail: info(a)cweb.cz http://www.cweb.cz

[Dovecot] Updating Database records from a Plugin
by John O'Brien 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Guys, In the file /etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf I have driver = pgsql connect = host=localhost dbname=ivr.db user=ivr password=passwd default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT password FROM embedded_device WHERE username='%u' user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid FROM embedded_device WHERE username='%u' In the table embedded_device there is a field called PIN. My plugin has the "user" and the "pin_value". What I want to do from the plugin is the following: UPDATE embedded_device SET PIN=pin_value WHERE username=user; Questions: Is there a way to locate the exiting database open connection? Is there a way to use the dovecot sql API to set the value of field? I have been looking for examples and have not been very successful. Regards, John

[Dovecot] [2.0] Experience in production environment
by Luigi Rosa 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I decided to put 2.0-pre3 in a couple of production environments with about 50 users each. The configuration is what I consider my own standard: Dovecot, Postfix with authentication via Dovecot, postfixadmin, maildir, userbase on MySQL. The new configuration schema is very flexible and much better than the "monolithic" file. The configuration conversion utility is very useful. No issue to report, the logfile is clean. The only difference between 2.0 and the previous version is the RIM server. Some users have configured their blackberry to synchronize the phone with their mailbox in IMAP. Previously RIM kept a connection open, after upgrading to 2.0, RIM opens a connection and then closes it. This is not an issue, because the synchronization is ok, and I think that is better this way than to keep an oper socket. Just for curiosity: it happens only to me and why this happens?

[Dovecot] Plugin for XFS project quota
by Wessel Dankers 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hi, I just finished writing a small plugin that reports XFS project quota in de IMAP component of Dovecot (1.2, currently). It was written to fill the needs of our organization but someone else might find this useful as well. In its current form it's not suitable for inclusion in the generic quota backend (see “Drawbacks”). Features: - every mailbox/folder can have its own project ID; - every project ID is mapped to a quota “root”; - caching to ensure reasonable performance; - Debian APT repository available; - LGPL 3 (just like Dovecot itself). Drawbacks: - quota are readonly, you'll have to manage limits and project assignment yourself; - IMAP only: I tried to write a generic quota backend, but the current setup of the quota plugin does not really seem to permit this; - extremely Linux-specific: assumes devices to be available under /dev/block/<maj>:<min> (this is valid for at least Debian lenny); - received only very limited testing; - no documentation whatsoever.

[Dovecot] LDAP + mail_location: Get "%d" from customfield
by Denny Schierz 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

hi, my mail_location looks like: mail_location = maildir:/imap/spool/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/imap/spool/% d/indexes/%1n/%n for example: /imap/spool/domain.foo/a/anton/new The problem is, that the user log in with only the username and no domainpart. So, Dovecot looks into: /imap/spool/a/anton/new what isn't correct. We created an LDAP entry in which domain the user is and searching for a way, to get it working. So, only what I want is to use our customfield as domainpart for the mail_location. Postfix works perfect and delivers the messages in the correct folder. any idea? cu denny

[Dovecot] need convert-tool advice
by Dave McGuire 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

Hi folks, I've got a few thousand accounts that I'd like to convert from mbox to maildir. I'm looking at using convert-tool from the command line to do this, but I'm uncertain about the command line syntax, so I hope someone can take a moment to go over this with me. I'm running dovecot 1.1.6 on this system. Mail accounts are not tied to UNIX system accounts, I'm using the dovecot LDA, users do not have home directories, everything is controlled from a database, and mail directories take the form of: /var/spool/mail/<domainname>/<username>/... The mail directories contain mbox-style spool files, including "inbox" and any user-created mbox-format folders. The entire hierarchy is owned by vmail.vmail. I'd like to batch-convert these offline in such a way that it's transparent to users. Here's what I have so far: ------------------------------------------------------------ mv ${user} ${user}-mbox convert_tool ${user} \ /var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user} \ mbox:/var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user}-mbox:\ INBOX=/var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user}-mbox/inbox \ maildir:/var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user} ------------------------------------------------------------ (sorry about that incomprehensibly long command line, I tried to break it intelligently) ...then I'll change the "mail" field returned by the database query to include maildir instead of mbox. I'll wrap the whole thing in a script and do it in one run. Is this correct usage of convert_tool's command line options? The thing that confuses me is the "home directory" command line option, not sure what that's for, as my mail users don't have home directories...at least not in the UNIX sense, does it mean something else? Will the users notice anything different here, with respect to UIDs, indices, or anything like that? If this is completely the wrong way to do it, I'm not opposed to using a different tool like mb2md.pl, but I looked at that and couldn't quite figure out how to make it work within my current directory structure. Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL

[Dovecot] performance problems with {s,m}dbox
by Jake Johnson 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

using rc3 and with the latest pigeonhole, I had problems with dovecot (deliver) keeping up with high volumes of E-mail. I tried sdbox, mdbox, and cyrdir all with similar (failed) result. using the default Maildir I had no problems. I did not try mbox. The problems seemed to happen when there were multiple deliver's running to the same folder I had defined in my sieve rules, either it would timeout and fail, or timeout and get delivered to my inbox, crash, or eventually halt because the queue would reach 20,000 messages which is the maximum with my postfix configuration. Everything was fine when I was using Maildir, no errors and no sieve errors/timeouts. perhaps it is more of an issue with pigeonhole than sieve, but thought I would post my experience using dbox, since it sounded like it was a winner based on performance.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 - expire with flat file?

I`m using Dovecot 2.0 with only one lokal user, so it`s imho overkill to use mysql. plugin quota with flat file running fine. It's possible expire also running with flat file? What's syntax in dovecot.conf (expire = file:??? and expire_dict?) Benn

[Dovecot] Dovecot and SSD
by Bryan Vyhmeister 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

I'm considering setting up my own mailserver with Dovecot 2.0 (as soon as it's out) and SSD. I'm debating whether it's worth it or not. I have been running a mailserver with the Dovecot 1.1 train for a couple of years and it's been flawless and amazing. I'm thinking about using either FreeBSD 8.1 w/ZFS or OpenBSD 4.8-beta on a 64 GB or 80 GB SSD (Corsair or Intel) using Dovecot 2.0 and mdbox. It seems like mdbox would benefit the most from an SSD because reads would be extremely fast while minimal writes (comparatively) take place due to the way mdbox is structured. I guess what I'm saying is that even if the SSD has average to slow write speeds the fast read speeds would make a big difference in many operations. Any thoughts? Alternately, run either option on a hard drive with indexes on fast flash memory. Anyone tried something like that? Thank you. Bryan

[Dovecot] relay access denied problem thru iphone imap auth
by Allen Walker 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

I'm using postfix smtpd / dovecot. Running imaps, imap, pop3s, pop3. I have a ssl certificate setup. Everything works fine via IMAP except sending to an email from outside the network to a recipient outside the network. The problem is when someone (and this is being tested thru the iphone email client configured to use imap) logs in, they can read messages but cannot send to an address outside my network, assuming they are logged in outside the network. If you they are logged in inside the network, they can send to anyone just fine.
