[Dovecot] archiving
by PA 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi, recently I installed the newest 2.x version of dovecot working with postfixadmin/mysql and it works great, thanks Timo, however I been reading dovecot's mailing list archived messages and haven't run across a good solution for archiving mail with dovecot. There was mention of using rsync but I was looking for incoming mail to be copied to another folder, maybe called archive J, in real time where the user would have only read access to the messages in the archive folder and the expire plug-in would delete messages older then x number of days. Does anyone have an suggestions on how I can implement this, I would also like to hear how some people were implement archiving if they do it differently. Also as far as shared calendars with dovecot what are my options. Sorry if it's a little off topic. Thanks, Paul

[Dovecot] dovecot director terminate ssl ?
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I plan on putting two dovecot directors in front of our backend dovecot pop/imap servers, instead of our current haproxy loadbalancing of the connections -- but how do we handle SSL in such a setup. Will all SSL be terminated on the directors automatically, and then proxyed plain text, or is there any configuration needed to achieve this ? Does it matter that the directors are v2.0 while the backends are running v1.2 ? -jf

[Dovecot] RV: Quota ignore subfolders
by Héctor Moreno Blanco 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Please, any help with this issue. Thanks. Héctor Moreno Blanco. -----Mensaje original----- De: dovecot-bounces+hmoreno=gmv.es(a)dovecot.org [mailto:dovecot-bounces+hmoreno=gmv.es@dovecot.org] En nombre de Héctor Moreno Blanco Enviado el: miércoles, 15 de diciembre de 2010 12:48 Para: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Asunto: [Dovecot] Quota ignore subfolders Hello, We have dovecot 2.0.8 in our servers with Scientific Linux SL release 5.2 (Boron). We want to ignore a mailbox and its child mailboxes. A few weeks ago Timo told me to do this in dovecot.conf, create a new namespace which will be the quotaless namespace and edit the quota: namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } namespace { location = maildir:%h/Maildir/carpeta1 prefix = carpeta1. separator = . type = private } plugin { quota = maildir:carpeta1:ns=INBOX. quota_warning = storage=75%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 75 quota_warning2 = storage=90%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 90 } We also have passdb and userdb with ldap, with dovecot-ldap.conf: pass_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u)(accountActive=TRUE)) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(|(mailAlternateAddress=%u)(mail=%u)(uid=%u))(accountActive=TRUE)) We also tried the easy solution which was to indicate a quota rule in order to ignore the mailbox but with no success. It still get every mailbox to calculate the quota. We set mail_debug=yes to see if there was any error, but everything seemed to be ok. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advanced.

[Dovecot] Dovecot Quota plugin as Couier quota
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I get a similar behavior between dovecot quota plugin and courier quota with the attached patch. When the client change flags, then is forced to recalc. This is because I don't know how to get the changed flags on quota sync method. The courier quota behavior is avoid to count all deleted mails, include "mark as deleted" mails. -- Antonio Pérez-Aranda Alcaide aperezaranda(a)yaco.es Yaco Sistemas S.L. http://www.yaco.es/ C/ Rioja 5, 41001 Sevilla Teléfono +34 954 50 00 57 Fax +34 954 50 09 29

[Dovecot] lmtp (xxx@mydomain.yy): Error: user xxx@mydomain.yy: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mbox: mbox requires client_limit=1 for service
by G.Nau 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

new Dovecot 2.0.8 installation on Opensuse 11.3 I got the error "lmtp (xxx(a)mydomain.yy) Error: user xxx(a)mydomain.yy: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mbox: mbox requires client_limit=1 for service" while trying to transfer mails by lmtp from postfix to dovecot. I googled and looked on the dovecot wiki about this client_limit issue, but no success. What's the syntax of the client_limit and where to place it? Into which config file? Inside the global namespace doesn't seems to work (error on dovecot start). -What's the side effect of this setting to my IMAP clients? Are multiple imap connections to the same mailbox still possible? Regards Birte Nauer

[Dovecot] listescape breaks acl plugin
by Jens 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Hi all Without the listescape plugin I see the following things happen: - If I share a mailbox, dovecot-acl-list in Maildir root is updated accordingly. - If I create a subfolder in an already shared mailbox the dovecot-acl file of the parent folder is copied to the new folder and dovecot-acl-list is updated as well. When I activate the "listescape" plugin, this doesn´t happen. Additionally (with listescape enabled), if I create a folder which contains a dot and then share that folder the dovecot-acl-list looses all entries except the first found shared folder without a dot in foldername. I Hope this is not a bug but only a configuration issue. Thanks for any hints in advance and best Regards Jens

[Dovecot] Shared Folders via Symlinking
by Adrian Mardlin 01 Jan '11

01 Jan '11

Hi folks, I'm trying to set up shared folders via symlinking and have come across a problem. I created a folder for one user, then symlinked it to another. I figured that one thing that is likely to happen at some point is that user 2 is going to decide they don't want to look at that folder any more, and will delete it, so I tried this. Much to my relief, it didn't delete the actual mails, just the symlink. However, it did alter the dovecot.index.cache file to indicate that the folder had been removed, and subsequent attempts to select this folder via the primary user resulted in an error, "NO Mailbox was deleted under us". I had to delete dovecot.index.cache to get it working again. Sorry - can't bring myself to call folders mailboxes... ;-) Adrian Mardlin in charge @ The Very Good Email Company t 01442 892641 m 07920 102401 f 01442 808081 w www.verygoodemail.com The content of this email and any attachment is private and may be legally privileged.

[Dovecot] Sieve rule issue with certain character sets
by Thomas Leuxner 01 Jan '11

01 Jan '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a global sieve rule in place to filter mailing-lists. This has worked well so far. Recently however one subscriber on a list seems to create strange character set encodings in the 'From' and 'To' headers. This leads to unprocessed/unfiltered mails (no errors thrown). Is this a configuration or Pigeonhole issue (latest HG used)? Headers from failing mail: From: "=?UTF-8?B?VG9yaW50aGllbA==?=" <user(a)domain.tld> To: "=?UTF-8?B?ImJpbmQtdXNlcnNAbGlzdHMuaXNjLm9yZyI=?=" <bind-users(a)lists.isc.org> Relevant sieve rule: if allof (address :is ["To","CC"] ["bind-users(a)lists.isc.org","bind-users(a)isc.org","comp-protocols-dns-bind(a)isc.org"], header :contains "List-Id" "bind-users.lists.isc.org") { fileinto "Public/Mailing-Lists/Bind-Users"; } Regards Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.16 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAk0dvZ4ACgkQ+meF/S97aXgYTACfZC70bsYn3d4/VRY2GfK5lF0k xOIAnRsBliv9EErA919vc5KoTAHhq3rC =IE3C -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
