[Dovecot] Problems Converting Maildir to mdbox
by Christian Felsing 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hello, I would like to convert all users mail from maildir to mdbox. My Dovecot version is 2.0.1, converted from 1.2.13 but config was rewritten from scratch. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat says following: maildir -> mdbox migration. Set mail_location=mdbox:~/mdbox and run doveadm convert -u username maildir:~/Maildir but doveadm does not know a command like "convert". Is there a _working_ way to convert maildir to mdbox ? How to do that with all Dovecot mail users (about 10000) ? Christian

Hello, I saw that there is now an antispam plugin repository for the V2.x version. It doesn't compile and it seems it cannot be configured like the old one. Any ETA? Cheers, Olivier

[Dovecot] Running auth as root
by Egbert Jan van den Bussche 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hi, I seem to be forced to run the auth proces as root because I want to use pam for local users. My gut feeling says that this is Not Good. Is there another way? For the virtual users 'vmail' is good enough because that user may access the MySQL database. This is on Ubuntu server 10.04.1 and Dovecot 1.2.9. TIA, Egbert Jan

[Dovecot] Size limit for a single mail in the IMAP store?
by Ralf Hildebrandt 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Postfix has "message_size_limit = 26214400", but that doesn't keep my users from sending huge messages which canot be sent, but can be stored in the IMAP "Sent" folder. Is it possible to set a size limit for the size of a single mail? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de | http://www.charite.de

[Dovecot] doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d
by Jerrale G 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

In the shell: ,doveadm(root): Error: User listing returned failure,doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users In the log: dovecot: auth: Error: sql: Iterate query failed: Table 'mail.users' doesn't exist (using built-in default iterate_query: SELECT username, domain FROM users) Why is dovecot trying to "select username, domain from users" when the "service auth" is setup to "select homedir, maildir, sieve_dir, from MAILBOXES.... the same with the password query except for selecting password from mail.mailboxes. The expire dictionary is EXACTLY like the example you posted in the wiki2. I can't remember whether I posted this thread before or not; I remember writing it two days ago but I'm not sure if I sent it as I can't find it in this "mailing lists" folder. Jerrale G.

[Dovecot] Is there a way to catch mailbox and message flag changes?
by John O'Brien 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Guys, We have been trying to establish if there is a way to get some type of notification from Dovecot when a message is appended to a mailbox or when a message has its flags updated. These are the 2 use cases: A message is appended to the mailbox "/Watch", we want to trigger "processing" of the message immediately it arrives. A message in the "Inbox" has its status changed from Unseen to Seen, we want to trigger some code to indicate the message has been "processed". Regards, John

ive added args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/ mail=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/mail and it work. Im not really sure about the hole LDAP thing :) my conf: uris = ldaps://ldap.example.org:636 dn = cn=dovecot server,ou=people,ou=Server,dc=example,dc=org dnpass = hiddenpw auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = dc=example,dc=org scope = subtree user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uid=mail=maildir:/home/%$/mail user_filter = (&(objectClass=gosaMailAccount)(|(mail=%u)(gosaMailAlternateAddress=%u)(uid=%u))) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=gosaMailAccount)(uid=%u)) (yea on 1.2 my home was /home/%uid but that suxx and i want to move it to /home/MAILBOXES/%uid) 1) I have a user that can read the PW so i dont need "auth_bind = yes", right? 2) user_* and pass_* i dont need them anymore cause its always: home=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/ mail=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/mail 2010/8/27 Mihajlin Evgenij <skyworker(a)ooobadm.dp.ua>: > В сообщении от 27 августа 2010 17:32:04 автор spamvoll(a)googlemail.com написал: > >> > log say: >> > dovecot: imap(hpeter): Error: user hpeter: Initialization failed: >> > mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage >> > autodetection failed with home=/home/MAILBOXES/hpeter/mail > > may be try to set into 10-mail.conf or in namespace private (if you have such) > mail_localtion = ~/Maildir > >
