[Dovecot] OT: Cron Output When Deleting Files
by Jeff Grossman 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

I have a Dovecot setup for a personal e-mail server. I have a cron job setup each evening which runs the following command to delete old messages from my Deleted Items folder. find ./ -type f -ctime +14 | xargs rm I don't know that much about bash scripting. I would like the output to tell me how many files were deleted. Can anybody share with me how can I get that done, or point in the correct direction? Thanks, Jeff

[Dovecot] Squirrelmail Problem with 1.1 Beta 3
by Jeff Grossman 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

I just installed 1.1 beta 3 and noticed a problem when sending an e-mail with Squirrelmail. When I hit send, I get the following error in my log: Oct 16 11:35:54 apple dovecot: IMAP(jeff): Disconnected: EOF while appending bytes=1851/5926 Oct 16 11:35:54 apple imapproxyd[9132]: Raw_Proxy(): IMAP server unexpectedly closed the connection on sd 9 I am also using imapproxy. I wasn't sure if that line would help also. In Squirrelmail I get a LOGOUT message when it tries to redisplay the INBOX listing. The message does get sent correctly, but it does not get copied to my Sent Items folder. I went and deleted all of the dovecot.index* files and now I don't get that error anymore, but I now get the following error. The message is now copied to the Sent Items folder. Oct 16 11:44:45 apple dovecot: IMAP(jeff): Cache file /home/jeff/.maildir/.Sent Items/dovecot.index.cache: Newly added field got lost unexpectedly Jeff

[Dovecot] namespace prefix issue with avelsieve and dovecot v1.1beta2
by Martin Konopka 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hi, I have installed dovecot v1.1.beta2 with the sieve plugin v.1.1.2. I have configured the following namespace: namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. location: inbox: yes hidden: no list: yes When I create a rule which should move messages into the subfolder "Junk", Dovecot's deliver seems to ignore the namespace and creates a new folder .INBOX.Junk . I think I read somewhere that in Dovecot v1.1+ deliver supports namespaces? Or have I misconfigured something? Thank you!

[Dovecot] Error: net_connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
by Maykel Moya 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

I'm using deliver (1.0.5) with Postfix (2.1.6). I made a test for a few minutes in a moderated busy server. While most mails was delivered, a lot of them failed with this error: deliver(userfoo): Oct 15 09:58:31 Error: net_connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable Sounds to me something like not enough auth-master to answer every concurrent deliver. Any hint? Regards, maykel PD: If there any other info I could give let me know.

[Dovecot] assertion failure when appending
by Johannes Berg 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

I get this assertion failure: file maildir-save.c: line 456 (maildir_save_finish): assertion failed: (ctx->seq != 0) once a while when I APPEND messages to a folder. My plugin doesn't touch the ctx, especially not the internal maildir one, but I have no idea where to start looking. Any hints? johannes

Version: 1.0.beta8 Is it possible to listen on just specific IP addresses as opposed a single IP or just all IPs on the same server? Thanks, LDB

Timo, I'll send you the mail in private. Regards, Bernhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] Logging client commands (patch)
by Zach Bagnall 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

This might be useful to someone so I'll throw it out there. Patch against 1.0.5 adds support for two new configuration params: pop3_debug_client_commands = TOP, RETR, DELE imap_debug_client_commands = FETCH, DELETE Obviously add in whichever ones you're interested in, or none, or comment them out completely. It'll log the appropriate events: Oct 12 18:30:18 kea dovecot: IMAP(zach): Client command: FETCH The parameters are included for POP3 events. Wasn't sure quite how to do the same for IMAP and for my purposes it's not too important so imap command parameters aren't logged. Running smoothly here with a few dozen IMAP and POP3 users. Not suggesting this gets added to the codebase - I just needed it to help debug some other IMAP software and thought it might be useful. Zach.
