[Dovecot] short-cut for install prefix in conf file?
by Steffen Kaiser 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, is there a way to shortcut the absolute path in the dovecot.conf file for the various referenced files? Something like: Now: acl = pgsql:/usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc8acl-hook2/etc/dovecot-dict-acl-sql.conf mail_executable = \ /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc8acl-hook2/libexec/dovecot/rawlog \ /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc8acl-hook2/libexec/dovecot/imap Short #1 - relative to dir of conf file acl = pgsql:dovecot-dict-acl-sql.conf mail_executable = ../libexec/dovecot/rawlog ../libexec/dovecot/imap Relative paths are currently evaluated relative to /tmp or '.', it looks like. Because of the different useages of the .conf file, this variant will be troublesome, I guess. Short #2 - use variables as in the shell INSTALL := /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc8acl-hook2 acl = pgsql:$INSTALL/etc/dovecot-dict-acl-sql.conf mail_executable = \ $INSTALL/libexec/dovecot/rawlog \ $INSTALL/libexec/dovecot/imap So you need to define the path just one time in the file. Maybe use %$INSTALL instead of $INSTALL, in order to _not_ introduce another metacharacter and break backwards compatibly. Short #3 - pseudo variable (%* here) with modifier (I == installpath) acl = pgsql:%I*/etc/dovecot-dict-acl-sql.conf The background is to support multiple parallel installations, e.g. during testing, I cannot rely on symlinks, but want that all stuff in a conf file is referenced to the same install tree.

[Dovecot] IMAP bandwidth
by Martijn de Munnik 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Hi, I want to calculate the bandwidth usage of the IMAP protocol. POP3 displays a message when the connection is closed about the transfered bytes. In an old mailinglist post I found this message: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-March/020478.html Is this patch integrated or is there another way to calculate the bandwidth for IMAP connections?

Re: [Dovecot] No folders listed in felamimail

I've managed to find the source of the problem and apply a temporary hack to get the folders listed. I'm not sure whether it's a bug or a feature or if there is a proper fix. The issue is that our mail folder layout is still based on "elm" (hands up everyone who remembers that) and we store all the users folders in mbox format under a directory called Mail in their home directory. We've defined a namespace in dovecot called "" which knows to look there and will list all the folders. However, we have run uw-imap in the past so we have a hidden namespace that maps all the folders starting "Mail/" to the new namespace so that we didn't have to change any of the clients. Egroupware has a bunch of code that tries to guess what sort of IMAP server is on the other end based on what folders it can find. One of those checks is for "Mail" and when it finds it it assumes that's the place to go looking for folders rather than using what the Namespace command returned. I'm guessing that this was put in by someone with the same layout as we used to have with "elm" trying to overcome the lack of a configuration file in uw-imap. Our "Mail/" namespace doesn't list any folders and so felamimail can't see anything for the user. My temporary hack was to comment out all the IMAP server guessing code and that fixes the problem for us. Now I need to find out how felamimail deals with IMAP servers that can't have mail folders containing messages and subfolders (it's one or the other with dovecot using mbox) Jon.
