[Dovecot] Dovecot "deliver" with multiple UIDs (security question)
by Buzai Andras 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi all, I have a question related to using the Dovecot LDA (deliver) with a multiple UID setup as described on the http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA page in the "Multiple UIDs" section. I run Postfix (virtual mailboxes) + Dovecot using multiple UIDs (one UID per virtual domain owner). I configured Postfix to use Dovecot Deliver for the virtual transport. To overcome the problem of multiple UIDs I used the solution described on the http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA page in the "Multiple UIDs" section. I used the "sudo" solution as described on the page. I only call the deliver with sudo from inside Postfix and the sudoer user is only allowed to sudo on the deliver binary. My question is: Is this solution secure? Can It be used on a production environment? What exactly happens in the background from the time I call "deliver" with sudo, to the time the delivery is finished? The configuration works. The emails get delivered but I am concerned about the security of this setup :(. Thank you, Buzai Andras

[Dovecot] TLS Issue
by Leander S. 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi, I use Postfix & Dovecot with TLS / SSL - it authenticates / works fine - except I'm always getting this ugly SSL cert warning messages mit MTAs. It says that the following: "You have attempted to establish a connection with "server". However, the security certificate presented belongs to "*.server". It is possible, though unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your communication with this web site." Is there a serverside solution that I wont get that any more? Why is * as a wildcard not working? Iwonder How gMail or other providers solve that issue Regards

[Dovecot] deliver and root user
by Bradlee Landis 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

On RHEL5, dovecot 1.0.7, I have set up sendmail to use `deliver` for my local mda. It keeps giving me this error for the root user though: Jul 12 12:51:29 mail sendmail[4105]: o699225f001348: to=<root(a)localhost.localdomain>, ctladdr=<root(a)localhost.localdomain> (0/0), delay=3+08:49:26, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=7502879, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: local mailer (/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL I've tried to `chmod +s /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver`, which I read might fix some of those issues, but it didn't. Anyways, here are the important changes I made in my config files for using `deliver`: == sendmail.mc == ... dnl ## Should I modify this?? define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/bin/procmail')dnl ... dnl ## Should I have "localhost.localdomain" here? It currently is not. LOCAL_DOMAIN(`mydomain.com') ... FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver',`/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $u') MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-f') ... MAILER(smtp) MAILER(procmail) MAILER(local) == END == == dovecot.conf == ... protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.com hostname = mydomain.com } == END == Any ideas, or do you need more information? -- Thanks, Brad Landis

[Dovecot] Dovecot-lda and Postfix virtual
by D F 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hello, I'm currently testing Dovecot 2.0RC2 and I have a problem migrating my current configuration. Current configuration is : - Dovecot as IMAP server - Postfix as SMTP/LDA with virtual users. main.cf is : #----------------------------------------------------------- # inet_protocols = all myhostname = mail.domain.tld mydomain = domain.tld myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all mydestination = localhost local_transport = virtual local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/domain.tld virtual_mailbox_base = /home/mail virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/domain.tld virtual_mailbox_domains = domain.tld virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, [::1]/128 smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 0 virtual_mailbox_limit = 0 smtpd_helo_required = yes # smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unknown_helo_hostname, reject_invalid_helo_hostname # debug_peer_level = 1 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq setgid_group = postdrop html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/local/man sample_directory = /etc/postfix readme_directory = no queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix alternate_config_directories = /etc/postfix #----------------------------------------------------------- /etc/postfix/domain.tld looks like : #----------------------------------------------------------- # User denis(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/ # Admin root(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ dnsowner(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ abuse(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ postmaster(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ #----------------------------------------------------------- Currently, I can send mails to denis(a)domain.tld or root(a)domain.tld and they are all accepted and placed in the right IMAP folder/subfolder. Now I'd like to use Dovecot as a LDA (I want to use Sieve). I first add "mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda" and "virtual_transport = dovecot" to postfix.conf. Then I add "dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=nobody:nobody argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${recipient}" to master.cf Here is my Dovecot config : #----------------------------------------------------------- listen = *, :: protocols = imap base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ login_greeting = domain.tld IMAP ready. disable_plaintext_auth = no auth_mechanisms = plain auth_failure_delay = 2 secs mail_location = dbox:/home/mail/%d/%n default_login_user = dovenull default_internal_user = dovecot service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service auth { # Postfix smtp-auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix group = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 user = nobody group = nobody } } passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db } ssl = no #----------------------------------------------------------- /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db looks like : #----------------------------------------------------------- denis@domain.tld:password:5000:5000::/home/mail/domain.tld/denis #----------------------------------------------------------- If I send a mail to denis(a)domain.tld it works great, if I send a mail to root(a)domain.tld, it tells the user is non-existent. Is it possible to work the way it used to and benefit from dovecot-lda ? I read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix but it seems none of the case looks like mine. Thank you in advance, Denis

[Dovecot] Can only see some folders of inbox
by He Llo 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

I've had a working system for ages now with Postfix/Dovecot/Squirrelmail. This evening the right hand pane of Squirrel Mail failed to complete with the Inbox selected but would show some of the other folders. I can also filter and access mail from the 'Invisible' inbox. Other mailboxes on the same server are fine. I've copied my version number below and the output of dovecot -n In the dovecot.log I can see lots of entries like: Warning I/O leak: 0x804d640 (13) or (15) and IMAP login killed with signal 15. I get the same behaviour if I connect with Outlook 2007 configured for IMAP. The mailbox has a lot of mail in it: easily a couple of GB. Very puzzled and would appreciate any help.

The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server foo.domainname.ca failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections.

[Dovecot] maildir / deliver question
by Martin Waschbuesch 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi all, I have the following situation: On a qmail toaster I am running (with dovecot 1.2.12 as the IMAP server), spam mail gets automatically put into a 'this might be spam' folder (per user). Now, every user has the opportunity to move that mail into either a 'learn as spam' or a 'this was ham' folder and the mail items will be treated accordingly. As a cronjob, I run a script that loops through all the users' folders and either learns as spam and deletes or learns as ham and moves back to the user's inbox. My questions now are these: 1.) Is there any danger regarding maildir consistency in directly moving mail items about? 2.) Could I somehow use deliver to move the mails? I think I can recall that other LDAs (maildrop?) allow for that? This would of course be preferred as the maildir cache would also still be optimized after the operation. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate this. Thanks a lot for your help and this great tool!

Hey Everyone, I am running the new Dovecot 2.0 RC2. When I try to run 'doveadm quota recalc -A' I just get the usage info for doveadm. Running 'doveadm help quota' gives me the man page for the quota command, and I follow the man page examples as is. Is this feature not implemented yet? Or am I doing something wrong? I know quota is a "plugin" for the doveadm program, but there is no documentation on how to get this to load of if it needs to be loaded at all.

[Dovecot] Mercurial dovecot-2.0 branch change
by Timo Sirainen 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

I got tired of seeing the HEAD branch name in hg.dovecot.org (caused by the initial import from CVS), so I finally switched to "default" branch name where it doesn't show it. But apparently now everyone using dovecot-2.0 hg needs to switch to the default branch. You should see something like: ~/cvs/dovecot-2.0% hg pull -u .. not updating, since new heads added (run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge) Now give a command: hg up -C default Hopefully there won't be other problems with the change.

[Dovecot] LDA ignored
by Leander S. 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Hi, my final goal is it to make use Dovecot's sieve modul - but unfortunately I'm not getting the LDA running as it is described in the Dovecot's wiki pages ... ;/ I've more and more getting the feeling that the LDA section in the configuration is completely ignored, cause whatever change I do in there is not being recognized at all - I could just type wildly arround in there - restart Dovecot and it will work. But the dovecot.conf is being used by Dovecot - cause changes to other sections are affecting Dovecot's behaviour ... it's really just the LDA section. I configured and compiled Dovecot with LDA & Managesieve. Otherwhise Dovecot / Postfix setup is running quite well - mail is being scanned by amavis and Spamassassin and delivered as it did before I added / changed the configs to the sieve related options ... It's very weired. I activated "mail_debug = yes" and the following shows up when I start Dovecot: Starting dovecot.

[Dovecot] I can receive but not send
by Dennis Clarke 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

I'm not too sure where to look here. I can access my mail via Dovecot and there is an initial requirement to accept an SSL key ( self signed ) however after I look in my inbox and read a piece of email ( via SeaMonkey eMail client ) I can not send. I simply get told that the server would not accept the smtp connection. I was hoping for a smtps connection but I'll take what I can get. Am I missing something obvious here ? -- Dennis

Hello, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0. I plan to use Dovecot 2.0 with thousands of domains per server. My user base is under virtual MySQL. Is there a way to make the LMTP not make query to MySQL for each message delivered ? I'm afraid that the MySQL server does not support the load.

However, configuring this behavior is an interesting issue. If the user log verbosity is configured in the Dovecot userdb, it may in many cases still only be configurable by the administrator. An alternative solution would be to provide the logging configuration directly in the Sieve script; analogous to the way Procmail handles this. This would give users direct control. However, the Sieve specification and its extensions currently define no such facility. In fact, both Sieve and ManageSieve don't provide any means for the user to control what is logged during script execution. This would require some new or custom (vnd.dovecot.) Sieve or ManageSieve extension. However, defining a new extension like that is rarely useful unless clients implement support for it. Another problem is that users need filesystem access or some other custom (HTTP) interface to read the logs. This can be problematic when virtual users are involved. This too could be mended with an extension to the ManageSieve protocol. Alternatively, the Pigeonhole TODO list mentions a solution that writes logs as messages in a special IMAP-accessible folder, but I'm still not sure how practical that is. The above considerations may warrant starting a draft RFC on controlling and accessing Sieve runtime logs. But, I'm deviating from the original issue... what is it that you truly need right now? And for the Dovecot list, any other ideas on the above? Regards, Stephan.

[Dovecot] trash folder (again)
by Holger Hegmanns 08 Jul '10

Hi, I read very intently all the issues related to imap trash folders, but either I didn't unerstand them or my problem is slightly different. I plan to migrate from cyrus to dovecot. I've executed the perl script cyrus2dovecot successfully with the substitution flag "-E 's/^\./.INBOX./'" cause I want to have all folders as subfolders of the INBOX. The vmail dir looks like this afterwards: drwxr-xr-x 11 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:19 dovecot-uidlist drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 80 Jul 8 14:19 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp After the first access with Thunderbird, regardless of the version (TB2x or TB3x) and regardless of using TB with an empty profile or a well filled up, the directory looks different: drwxr-xr-x 12 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 .Trash drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot-uidlist -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 17408 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.cache -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 448 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.log drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 86 Jul 8 14:21 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp A Trash folder was added by TB, I guess.

The preexisting Trash folder (I created all the standard folders with cyradm by hand) below the INBOX seems sufficient to TB, no further Trash can was created and here all input fields are filled up as followed: private namespace "INBOX." shared "" other users "user."

I'm setting up shared mailboxes as in http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared, and have set ACLs as described on that page to share one folder of user A's mailbox with User B. However, I'm struggling to get Thunderbird for userb(a)example.com to read the shared folder of usera(a)example.com. Has anyone done this? Thunderbird 3.0, Dovecot 1.2.11 Thanks, Keith

[Dovecot] Eronious comment in sample Director configuration
by Brad Davidson 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

The sample Director configuration (10-director.conf) says that director_servers and director_mail_servers can be lists of either IPs or hostnames: # List of IPs or hostnames to all director servers, including ourself. # Ports can be specified as ip:port. The default port is the same as # what director service's inet_listener is using. #director_servers = # List of IPs or hostnames to all backend mail servers. Ranges are allowed # too, like 10.0.0.10-10.0.0.30. #director_mail_servers = However, if I use hostnames, it bails out with an "Invalid IP address" error. It also seems to be confusing the dashes in my hostnames for address range specifications. Obviously hostnames are not currently supported, but I thought I'd mention it so the documentation could be updated. -Brad

Just an FYI - if I have a two-node director ring, I get this when I start up the second node: Jul 7 16:59:38 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Received SYNC from 10.142.0.162:1234/left (seq=6) while already synced Totally expected since it's already received the same SYNC from the right side, but since I thought I heard you say that "any errors that Dovecot logs are bugs" I thought I'd report it ;) For that matter, it also logs errors when I shut down / restart the second node: Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.162:1234/left disconnected Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.162:1234/right disconnected Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/out): connect() failed: Connection refused -Brad

[Dovecot] Patch for second fs quota under solaris
by Juergen Obermann 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hallo. We use dovecot 1.2.12 running under Solaris 9 and wanted to set up a second filesystem quota root because the mail folders are in the users home directories and the inboxes of all users are in /var/mail. This is defined in dovecot.conf: quota = fs:Home-Verzeichnis:noenforcing quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail This second quota did not work, but now I found the reason why. The mountpoint_get in src/lib/mountpoint.c needs to call resetmnttab to find the filesystem for the second quota root (see man resetmnttab). The following patches correct this and also adds some debugging code to src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c to show the processing of quota2. These patches are only needed for Solaris with filesystem quotas. dovecot-1.2.12 ############## *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:14:17 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:21:11 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Sat Jun 19 00:12:44 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 16:54:20 2010 *************** *** 249,256 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 249,263 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_info("fs quota2 add storage dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } dovecot-2.0.rc1 ############### *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:16:12 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:24:10 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Fri Jul 2 21:32:40 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 12:52:38 2010 *************** *** 264,271 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 264,278 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_debug("fs quota2 add mailbox dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } Greetings, Jürgen Obermann -- Hochschulrechenzentrum der | Mail: Juergen.Obermann(a)hrz.uni-giessen.de Justus-Liebig-Universitaet | WWW: http://www.uni-giessen.de/obermann Heinrich-Buff-Ring 44 | Tel: 0641-99-13054 (0641-99-13001) D-35392 Giessen, Germany | Fax: 0641-99-13009

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0 rc1 missing folder INBOX
by Burckhard Schmidt 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello, I have maildir format, and usually I found a folder "INBOX" in older versions of dovecot. Now I get this folder structure: ~user/maildir with folder new tmp cur Drafts (auto generated) Sent (auto) Trash (auto) This happens if a first email arrives or the user logs in the first time. If I connect direct to the server and send the command 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" 1 OK List completed. Here "INBOX" is listed. Is this correct no folder "INBOX"? -- Regards --- Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] problems with sieve under 2.0...

I'm experimenting with a 2.0 setup, using the sieve plugin for 2.0 from mercurial. Without sieve, everything seems to work fine. Once I put in a .dovecot.sieve file, though, nothing gets delivered, with the only hint of what's going wrong being this mess in syslog: Jul 7 13:18:00 bellman dovecot: lda(perry): Panic: file index-transaction.c: line 70 (index_transaction_init): assertion failed: (box->opened) Jul 7 13:18:00 bellman dovecot: lda(perry): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x7f55e07fedd2] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_syslog_fatal_handler+0x2b) [0x7f55e07fee7b] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7f55e07ff1e3] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0x7f55e0cbdc31] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_transaction_begin+0x3f) [0x7f55e0cbdc7f] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_transaction_begin+0x13) [0x7f55e0c750d3] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0 [0x7f55df800724] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_result_execute+0x173) [0x7f55df7f9183] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_execute+0x7d) [0x7f55df807b5d] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f55dfa3bbed] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-lda.so.0(mail_deliver+0x44) [0x7f55e0a41e84] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda(main+0x692) [0x402f72] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7f55e00831a6] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda [0x402819] Ideas? -- Perry E.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird problem
by Frank Bonnet 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello Some users had occasionally a problem with Thunderbird , some random emails with attachement(s) cannot be read anymore the email appears empty and TB seems to enter in an infinite loop saying it is downloading the message The only solution I found was : 1 - stop thunderbird on the client machine 2 - remove the .imap user's directory 3 - restart thunderbird on the client machine After doing that all emails re-appear normally and attachements are readable/downloadable again. ALL our clients use the IMAP(S) protocol. Anyone had the same problem ? Thanks F

List, With sites like this appearing everywhere: http://www.dontfilterme.com and http://nocleanfeed.com/ Just trying to get a general opinion with what everyone thinks of the filtering situation in Australia. Whether you believe its a good thing or a bad thing or you don't really care. I'm writing a letter to an Australian MP (Member of Parliament) and I want to get some actual opinions of what other systems administrators think of the internet filter, even if they are not in Australia. Not only at a technical aspect but at an opinion aspect as well. Either reply on list or pm me. I just want to get a general idea. Thanks, Ryan.

[Dovecot] OT: Sieve + Forward as Attachment
by Jerry 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I know that this is technically not a Dovecot problem; however, I was wondering if anyone knew if 'sieve' had been updated with the ability to 'forward as attachment' a received document. I believe it has the ability to forward a document; however, I need the ability to forward it as an attachment if possible. Also I believe, somewhat due to my asking for them, that sieve exits with appropriate error codes. Is there a listing of these codes, other than in the actual program code itself, of what those exit codes are? -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] Manually creating folders from terminal
by A. J. Giurato 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware that the structure should look like: ~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ... I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that my system has. I feel that in the past, folders I have made this way worked. However, now none are showing up in my clients. In Thunderbird, they aren't even listed on the "Subscribe" window for me to enable. Using Squirrelmail doesn't show them either. Essentially what I am doing is taking my current IMAP dir structure, and making a copy in a subfolder called ".INBOX.Archive.<year>" to archive my old mail. Thus, .INBOX.Subfolder1.Subfolder2 becomes .INBOX.Archive.2009.Subfolder1.Subfolder2. My system: Ubuntu 8.04 # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_listen: * disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_access_groups: mail default_mail_env: ~/.maildir mail_location: ~/.maildir auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix

We use dovecot 1.0.15 with POP3S and IMAP and we want to keep a trace of the reading of messages by the users of our mail server (who, when and what are the subjects of the e-mail messages read) because some users complain that they did not read some messages but in the logs of the server (maillog files( those messages appear to be delivered to their inboxes.

[Dovecot] dsync convert Maildir -> mdbox, separators in subscriptions file
by Frode Nordahl 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hello, I'm playing around with Dovecot 2.0 beta 4. If I use dsync to convert a users mail stored in Maildir format to mdbox format, the subscriptions file in the new mdbox is created using the wrong mailbox separator ('.') leading to folders within folders not being readable by clients using the subscription feature. Excerpt from IMAP: . LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam/Test" . LSUB "" "*" * LSUB () "/" "Spam" * LSUB () "/" "Spam.Test" I am not currently using Maildir, and have no plans to either, so I am very pleased with mdbox using '/' as seperator. I am considering to use Maildir as a transition format so that I can use allready available scripts to do the job (uw2dovecot.pl first, then dsync). So the question is, is this a bug in dsync? At the time of conversion mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I used the following command to do the conversion: # dsync -u username convert mdbox:~/mdbox -- Frode Nordahl

[Dovecot] how to setup a simplest travel-mode read-only IMAP
by Seetamraju Uday Bhaskar Sarma 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hi All, I don't use gmail/hotmail etc... I have been a Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Thunderbird user for ever now... The mail and folders are all on my private fileserver. But on certain tours, I do know in advance that I would like IMAP access to my mail folders. Nothing but the simplest read-only access to the years of accumulated email. (All that email was soft-mounted onto /mnt/mail for safety and simplicity.) I have read the FAQ and Wiki. I even created the /cur /new /tmp folders under /mnt/mail... (after noting errors in dovecot logs) But when I test from another machine as :- # mutt -f imap://sarma@10.0.1.10/Inbox mutt comes up blank. I did check that /mnt/mail/Inbox exists, and has read permissions to all. Ideally, I don't want dovecot updating my mail files. I just simply want to read my old mail, while my new mail will continue to reside-on/be-accessible via the webmail. Thanks in advance! # /usr/sbin/dovecot --version 1.0.15 # /usr/sbin/dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_processes_count: 1 login_max_processes_count: 2 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/mnt/mail:INDEX=/var/mail/dovecot/index:CONTROL=/var/mail/dovecot/lib:LAYOUT=fs mbox_dirty_syncs: no mbox_lazy_writes: no auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Correct folder permissions for maildir....

G'Day, I am trying to find a definitive answer to what the directory permissions should be for my configuration under Centos 5.5. I see a number of the following error messages in the maillog as a consequence of permissions errors. After reading the FAQ, Wiki etc. and browsing the web I am unable to determine just exactly what the user security settings should be for the offending folders. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Should you require additional diagnostic information let me know and I will source it.

Hello, there seems to be an error writing into the expire database defined by dict. dict { expire = sqlite:/usr/dovecot/etc/dovecotbeta-dict-expire.conf } ... plugin { ... expire = AutoCleanSpam 1d expire_dict = proxy::expire } with dovecotbeta-dict-expire.conf: connect = /test/addons/expire/expiresbeta.db map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = expire_stamp fields { username = $user mailbox = $mailbox } } sqlite shows schema: CREATE TABLE expires ( username varchar(100) not null, mailbox varchar(255) not null, expire_stamp integer not null, primary key (username, mailbox) ); CREATE TRIGGER mergeexpires BEFORE INSERT ON expires FOR EACH ROW BEGIN UPDATE expires SET expire_stamp=NEW.expire_stamp WHERE username = NEW.username AND mailbox = NEW.mailbox; SELECT raise(ignore) WHERE (SELECT 1 FROM expires WHERE username = NEW.username AND mailbox = NEW.mailbox) IS NOT NULL; END; Delivering of an email into folder AutoCleanSpam via sieve script works fine. error-log: Apr 08 12:57:05 lda(account1): Debug: sieve: executing compiled script /addons/sieve/account1.sieve Apr 08 12:57:05 lda(account1): Debug: expire: Mails expire in 86400 secs in mailbox: AutoCleanSpam Apr 08 12:57:05 dict: Error: sqlite: exec(INSERT INTO expires (expire_stamp,username,mailbox) VALUES ('1270810625','account1','AutoCleanSpam')) failed: unable to open database file (14) Apr 08 12:57:05 master: Error: service(dict): child 10936 killed with signal 11 (core not dumped - set drop_priv_before_exec=yes) Apr 08 12:57:05 master: Error: service(dict): command startup failed, throttling deliver-log: Apr 08 12:57:05 lda(account1): Error: read(/var/run/dovecot//dict) failed: Remote disconnected Apr 08 12:57:05 lda(account1): Info: sieve: msgid=<4BBDB681.10003(a)hu-berlin.de>: stored mail into mailbox 'AutoCleanSpam' If I use a non existing database filename in dovecotbeta-dict-expire.conf like connect = /test/addons/expire/expiresbeta.dbbbbb I see in the log dict: Error: sqlite: open(/test/addons/expire/expiresbeta.dbbbbb) failed: unable to open database file So I'm sure, having the rigth config file.
