[Dovecot] Upgrade 1.0->1.2 dbox mysql
by Bradley Giesbrecht 17 Dec '09

Seems to work but it's weird that I lost my subscribed folders. Also the perl script imapsync is only seeing an inbox and no other folders. I seem to be creating a lot of name mailboxes where my INBOX and other folders are located. /opt/local/var/mail/domain.com/username/dbox/mailboxes This dir is getting populated with new INBOX and default folders. (domain.com and username are substitutes for the real users domain and username) dovecot.log: Dec 17 12:29:17 IMAP(username(a)domain.com): Info: Effective uid=5000, gid=5000, home=/opt/local/var/mail/domain.com/username Dec 17 12:29:17 IMAP(username(a)domain.com): Info: dbox: data=/opt/local/ var/mail/domain.com/username/dbox Dec 17 12:29:17 IMAP(username(a)domain.com): Info: fs: root=/opt/local/ var/mail/username.com/username/dbox, index=, control=, inbox= dovecot-deliver.log: Dec 17 12:35:08 deliver(username(a)domain.com): Info: auth input: home=/ opt/local/var/mail/domain.com/username Dec 17 12:35:08 deliver(username(a)domain.com): Info: auth input: uid=5000 Dec 17 12:35:08 deliver(username(a)domain.com): Info: auth input: gid=5000 Dec 17 12:35:08 deliver(username(a)domain.com): Info: dbox: data=/opt/ local/var/mail/domain.com/username/dbox Dec 17 12:35:08 deliver(username(a)domain.com): Info: fs: root=/opt/ local/var/mail/domain.com/username/dbox, index=, control=, inbox= Dec 17 12:35:08 deliver(username(a)domain.com): Info: msgid=<E5136D91-256C-4FD8-87AE-065C95DEAA58(a)gmail.com >: saved mail to INBOX Could someone confirm that this looks right?

[Dovecot] Upgrade 1.0->1.2 dbox mysql
by Bradley Giesbrecht 17 Dec '09

Hi, I just upgraded to from dovecot v1.1.15 to v1.2.9 so I can use dovecot- sieve. Most everything seems to work but my webmail (roundcube) clients are not seeing their subscribed folders. Reading over the upgrade docs at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.2 I'm wondering if I have the two settings below configured correctly. dovecot.conf: mail_location = dbox:/opt/local/var/mail/%d/%n/dbox dovecot_mysql.conf user_query homedir result: /opt/local/var/mail/example.com/foo bash-3.2# dovecot -n # 1.2.9: /opt/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 9.8.0 Power Macintosh hfs log_path: /opt/local/var/serveza/log/mail/dovecot.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /opt/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /opt/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /opt/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: now what? mail_location: dbox:/opt/local/var/serveza/mail/%d/%n/dbox mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /opt/local/etc/dovecot/bin/log_imap_login.sh mail_executable(imap): /opt/local/etc/dovecot/bin/log_imap_login.sh mail_executable(pop3): /opt/local/etc/dovecot/bin/log_pop3_login.sh mail_plugin_dir(default): /opt/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /opt/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /opt/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 lda: log_path: /opt/local/var/serveza/log/mail/dovecot-deliver.log auth_socket_path: /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address: postmaster(a)pixilla.com auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 ntlm apop verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: sql args: /opt/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot_mysql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch userdb: driver: sql args: /opt/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot_mysql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /opt/local/var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: _postfix group: _postfix master: path: /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: _vmail Thanks for any clues, Bradley Giesbrecht

[Dovecot] Upgrade 1.0->1.2
by Ivica Glavocic 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hi all We are planning to upgrade Dovecot from production version 1.0.10 to latest version 1.2.9 Users are using maildir style mailboxes with ~20 GB of messages on SLES10 server. Upgrade will be done by installing new server and then migrating mailboxes from old on new server. Since dovecot-uidlist file have new format and index files have changed in v1.1, what must be done to have new Dovecot v1.2 working properly with old v1.0 maildirs? Thanks, regards Ivica Glavocic

The Dovecot version is 1.2.8 and i am using an LDAP for a user database. The problem is following... i would like to use a quota dictionary backend from file rather than sql proxy for some reasons. Is it possible to get the full path for dovecot-quota file location from LDAP like from mail variable (/mailboxes/storage_01/domain.org/u/us/use/user/dbox/dovecot-quota)? /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf user_attrs = storageBase=home,mailMessageStore=mail=dbox:~/%$/dbox/,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$,mailQuotaMessageLimit=quota_rule2=*:messages=%$ Also is it also possible the same for sieve location? I can solve the problem by adding in dovecot.conf sieve = /var/sieve/%Ld/%Ln/dovecot.sieve but i would like to have it all in one place ... t -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Dovecot-1.2.%2B-tp26803721p26803721.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] v1.2.9 released

16 Dec '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.9.tar.gz.sig Hopefully this release will be enough bug-free that I don't need to make v1.2 releases for next few months. * maildir: When saving, filenames now always contain ,S=<size>. Previously this was done only when quota plugin was loaded. It's required for zlib plugin and may be useful for other things too. + lazy-expunge: Support a single-namespace configuration. If a mailbox is deleted, its messages are merged with its old expunged messages (if there were any). + expire: Settings now support spaces in mailbox names by using quoted strings. - maildir: v1.2.7 and v1.2.8 caused assert-crashes in maildir_uidlist_records_drop_expunges() - maildir_copy_preserve_filename=yes could have caused crashes. - Maildir++ quota: % limits weren't updated when limits were read from maildirsize. - virtual: v1.2.8 didn't fully fix the "lots of mailboxes" bug - virtual: Fixed updating virtual mailbox based on flag changes. - fts-squat: Fixed searching multi-byte characters.

Hi Timo, the imap_client_workarounds are not always parsed. There was on situation, in which cmd->client->set->parsed_workarounds was set to WORKAROUND_TB_EXTRA_MAILBOX_SEP. Sorry, I can't remember what I have done. But when I try to delete a mailbox with Thunderbird imap_client_workarounds are not parsed: (gdb) print cmd->client->set->imap_client_workarounds $7 = 0x1422de0 "tb-extra-mailbox-sep" (gdb) print cmd->client->set->parsed_workarounds $8 = 0 And therefor the command 'x delete box_with_trailing_slash/' fails.

[Dovecot] CRAM-MD5 in Python
by Andre 16 Dec '09

Hi to all! I’m writing a python module (python+sqlalchemy) to manage user and domain configuration on my system (I hope to get a CLI tool, a Web app and even a native Mac app, via PyObjc, from my lib). I’m implementing password crypto, but I have some problem in generating CRAM-MD5 password, dovecot style. I’ve found an old discussion on this mailing list and a piece of Perl that works, but I need to implement it in Python; I’ve even read code (hmac-md5.c), but before start hard coding (hard from my POV at least, since I’ve never worked with crypto algorithms in a deep way), is there anyone that have had solved the problem or has any idea on how to approach it?

[Dovecot] S=xxx missing in new messages
by Andre 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi to all! I’m setting up dovecot 1.2.8 on my system to substitute an older IMAP server and I’m testing all features of Dovecot. Yesterday I was testing support for zlib, for compressed messages, to set up a new namespace for old mails and I read that it is safe to compress only mails that have the field “S=XXX” in their name (XXX being the original size of message) and to leave uncompressed the ones that don’t have S=XXX in their name. Testing and searching I discovered that only new mail, mail that used to arrive in mailbox via SMTP have S=XXX, mail copied from another mailbox loose S=XXX. Later I’ve found that this not work anymore, even directly delivered mail messages do not have S=XXX anymore. I use dovecot-lda as delivery program and postfix as SMTP server, but I’ve not touched postfix configuration since one month ago. What can it be? How can I have S=XXX again in my messages file name? TIA Andrea

[Dovecot] Kerberos Cross-Real username
by Nikolay Shopik 16 Dec '09

Hi List, Is anyone is running Dovecot with Kerberos and tried to authenticate user from different REALM and have same user principal with default domain. Currently Dovecot only logs user principal w/o REALM. So before I go in production maybe somebody already run into this using Dovecot? If not I just create virtual machines and see how it behaves.

Greetings, I've recently upgraded from version .97 to v. 1.2. Everything seems to be working OK, but I'm wondering why I'm getting authentication failure messages in /var/log/maillog. Like this: Dec 15 11:02:41 triata dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<mycenay>, method=PLAIN, rip=140.9.5.1, lip=140.9.5.1, secured Although that user can log in to the server and get email no problem.

[Dovecot] mail_max_userip_connections
by Richard Stockton 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

What is the appropriate setting for mail_max_userip_connections ? My POP3 connections seem to be mostly 1 at a time, but my IMAP connections are often 3 per user per IP. Is this appropriate? If I change the IMAP setting to mail_max_userip_connections=1 will it break things for the user? I am trying to improve this situation: > ps auxwww | grep "imap " | wc 237 3080 22400 TIA, - Richard
