[Dovecot] Problem with LDAP query
by Aleix Dorca 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

Hi people, first message to this list. I've a problem with dovecot 1.0.15 (debian latest package) and an LDAP query. The situation is the following. My LDAP users have multiple mail addresses (field 'mail') and mail should be able to be sent to any of these and the mail should always end on the user's mailbox. This is not working for me now. My dovecot-ldap.conf relevant config shows: user-attrs = uid=user user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(|(uid=%n)(mail=%u))) This correctly detects multiple addresses but mail always end in folder (from dovecot.conf): mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%n/Maildir So if user@domain gets a mail it ends in /home/vmail/user/Maildir but if the same user gets an email to user-alt@domain it ends in /home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir instead of /home/vmail/user/Maildir. I've been debugging and I get this on my mail.log file: Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: user-alt@domain Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: user=user Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: uid=5000 Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: gid=5000 Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): maildir: data=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): maildir: root=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir, index=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir, control=, inbox= Since I'm in version 1.0.15 can't use the mailLocation with the $ substitution. Anyway, any help will be appreciated.

[Dovecot] converting from vm-pop3d
by Tim Uckun 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Hello All. I am looking into an old server which is running vm-pop3d. This server is having problems because the pop3 server is taking up 100% of the CPU. I looked at the largest mailboxes and there are a handful over 20 megs in size, the largest one is 55megs, they are all mbox format (I think). I have been looking at the wiki and it looks like there is a perl script to make the mailboxes behave. There are also other scripts that try and convert mbox to maildir formats and from what I can gather dovecot can do this as well. Finally the dovecot in the fedora repos is 1.0.X and I notice that the latest in 1.2.X is there a more up to date dovecot RPM repo? I would appreciate any advice anybody can give me on how to proceed with this transition. Thank you in advance.

[Dovecot] Migration from Courier to Dovecot: is it recommended to "force" d.index* creation?
by Sandro Tosi 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hello, we are planning to migrate from Courier to Dovecot. We already know courier-dovecot-migrate.pl, that will convert UID list and subscriptions files to dovecot format, and we will run it in batch on all Maildir + enable it at login, once we do the switch But we are also wondering it it might be wise to "force" the creation of dovecot.index{,.cache} files at conversion-time. It seems that, at least, d.i.c is created at FETCH of a mail, i.e. reading it, but we do not want to "alter" mails status of our clients. Is there a way to create them in batch, or is it better to just let them be created once clients start accessing their mailboxes via dovecot? Thanks in advance, Sandro

[Dovecot] Problem after migrating from mbox to maildir and squirrelmail
by Wawan S 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hi all, I just finished migrating from mbox to maildir (and upgrade squirrelmail to the latest version) with some issue. We are using Postfix 2.3, Dovecot 1.2.7 and Squirrelmail 1.4.2. One of user report that suddenly all his Sent and Drafts emails were disapeared. After log in to webmail, I found out that there are 3 new folder called Drafts, Sent and Trash apart from Drafts,Sent,Trash underneath INBOX folder, and all his sent and draft emails were there. I thought I just move the email from Sent folder to the Sent underneath INBOX, but I was wrong. Now he got all sent emails in Sent items but after refreshed the webmail, INBOX wont open at all. it just blank but in the left side it said the amount of his email. what did i do wrong? is it something to do with the dovecot.index and index.cache or the uidlist? please enlighten me.... thank you Hendry

[Dovecot] dovecot transaction log permissions
by Jordan Tardif 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

So after some problems with NFS and transaction logs getting corrupted. Im tyring out storing them localy. via.. mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/%u the problem is with a large amount of users.. the indexes dir becomes huge with this setup. So a change to make this better is... mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/%d/%n to seperate the users dir's into domains. What seems to happen is dovecot creates the index's folder automaticly and its owned by that user.. eg.. drwx------ 3 10651674 2598184 4096 2010-06-02 19:08 domain.com this makes it so no other user of domain.com can get their transaction logs created cause the dir is owned by another user at that domain. Is there anyway around this? I see there used to be a umask option but that is gone in 1.2.x. -- Jordan Tardif DreamHost
