Released Pigeonhole v0.4.13 for Dovecot v2.2.22.
by Stephan Bosch 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final v0.4.13 release of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2.22. Nothing changed since the RC. Changelog v0.4.13: * redirect action: Added the list-id header to the duplicate ID for mail loop prevention. This means that the message sent directly to the user and the message coming through the mailing list itself are treated as different messages by the loop detection of the redirect command, even though their Message-ID may be identical. * Changed the Sieve number type to uint64_t, which means that Sieve numbers can now technically range up to 2^64. Some other Sieve implementation allowed this, making this change necessary for successful migration. + Implemented the sieve_implicit_extensions setting. The extensions listed in this setting do not need to be enabled explicitly using the Sieve "require" command. This behavior directkly violates the standard, but can be necessary for compatibility with some existing implementations of Sieve. Do not use this setting unless you really need to! - redirect action: Made mail loop detection more robust by forcibly adding a Message-ID header if it is missing. - Prevent logging a useless "script not found" error message for LDAP scripts for which the entry exists but no attribute containing a script. This is not necessarily an error. - extprograms plugin: Changed the communication channel between parent and child process for a directly forked program from a socketpair to a double pipe. Linux does not support /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout and friends for sockets. For some shell program authors this may be confusing, so that is why it is changed. When using the script service, these device nodes are still not usable though. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Xi has a new home
by Stephan Bosch 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hi, The automatic package builder Xi has moved to system within the Dovecot infrastructure. This also means that the repositories are available at a new host name: xi.dovecot.fi. The old host name still works and is a CNAME pointing to the new venue. I expect the old domain to be active for years to come. So, there is no need to update your /etc/apt/sources.list right away. Still, it is a good idea to do so. I've updated the wiki accordingly. Regards, Stephan.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.13.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.22.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Hello Dovecot users, Pigeonhole v0.4.12 still compiles against Dovecot v2.2.22.rc1, but only with warnings. That is the primary reason for this new release. However, there are also a few significant changes as listed below. When no significant problems are reported, a definitive release will follow closely after Dovecot v2.2.22 is released. Changelog v0.4.13: * redirect action: Added the list-id header to the duplicate ID for mail loop prevention. This means that the message sent directly to the user and the message coming through the mailing list itself are treated as different messages by the loop detection of the redirect command, even though their Message-ID may be identical. * Changed the Sieve number type to uint64_t, which means that Sieve numbers can now technically range up to 2^64.

v2.2.22 release candidate released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.22.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.22.rc1.tar.gz.sig There are some larger changes here, especially to doveadm to make it support HTTP API. There's still time to do smaller tweaks to the API, so let us know if you have some improvement ideas. Note that the API was designed to look mostly like JMAP, which we're planning to implement also for v2.3. The plan is to fork v2.3 development tree soon. + Added doveadm HTTP API: See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Design/DoveadmProtocol/HTTP + virtual plugin: Mailbox filtering can now be done based on the mailbox metadata. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual + stats: Added doveadm stats reset to reset global stats. + stats: Added authentication statistics if auth_stats=yes. + dsync, imapc, pop3c & pop3-migration: Many optimizations, improvements and error handling fixes. + doveadm: Most commands now stop soon after SIGINT/SIGTERM. - auth: Auth caching was done too aggressively when %variables were used in default_fields, override_fields or LDAP pass/user_attrs. userdb result_* were also ignored when user was found from cache. - imap: Fixed various assert-crashes caused v2.2.20+.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.12 for Dovecot v2.2.21
by Stephan Bosch 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final v0.4.12 release of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2.21. Nothing changed since the RC. Changelog v0.4.12: + Implemented the Sieve extracttext extension (RFC 5703; Section 7). It is now possible to extract body text from a message into a variable. * Increased ABI version due to changes in the Sieve interpreter's object definitions. - multiscript: Fixed bug in handling of (implicit) keep; final keep action was always executed as though there was a failure. This caused the keep action to revert back to the initial message, causing editheader actions to be ignored. - managesieve-login: Fixed proxy to allow SASL mechanisms other than PLAIN. Before, the proxy would fail if the server did not support the PLAIN mechanism. - ldap storage: Prevent segfault occurring when assigning certain (global) configuration options. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.12.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.12.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.12.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.21
by Stephan Bosch 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Hello Dovecot users, The last few releases had an annoying bug that made the Sieve editheader and imap4flags ineffective when multiple scripts were executed sequentially (sieve_before/sieve_after). That is why I am making a new release. Unlike the previous release, this release also adds a new feature: support for the Sieve extracttext extension. Changelog v0.4.12: + Implemented the Sieve extracttext extension (RFC 5703; Section 7). It is now possible to extract body text from a message into a variable. * Increased ABI version due to changes in the Sieve interpreter's object definitions. - multiscript: Fixed bug in handling of (implicit) keep; final keep action was always executed as though there was a failure. This caused the keep action to revert back to the initial message, causing editheader actions to be ignored. - managesieve-login: Fixed proxy to allow SASL mechanisms other than PLAIN. Before, the proxy would fail if the server did not support the PLAIN mechanism. - ldap storage: Prevent segfault occurring when assigning certain (global) configuration options.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.11 for Dovecot v2.2.21
by Stephan Bosch 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final v0.4.11 release of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2.21. Nothing of consequence changed since the RC. Changelog v0.4.11: - Sieve mime extension: Fixed the header :mime :anychild test to work properly outside a foreverypart loop. - Several fixes in message body part handling: - Fixed assert failure occurring when text extraction is attempted on an empty or broken text part. - Fixed assert failure in handling of body parts that are converted to text. - Fixed header unfolding for (mime) headers parsed from any mime part. - Fixed trimming for (mime) headers parsed from any mime part. - Fixed erroneous changes to the message part tree structure performed when re-parsing the message. - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed logging of actions; sometimes the configured log format was not followed. - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed bug in error handling of script storage initialization. - Sieve Extprograms plugin: Ignored ENOTCONN error in shutdown(fd, SHUT_WR) call. - Fixed duplication of discard actions in the script result. Each discard was counted as a separate action, which means that action limit would be crossed too early. - Made sure that quota errors never get logged as errors in syslog. - Fixed handling of implicit keep for a partially executed transaction that yielded a temporary failure. - Fixed handling of global errors. If master and user error handler were identical, in some cases the log message could be lost. - Fixed AIX compile issue in message body parser. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.11.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.11.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.
