[Dovecot] sieve in sql or reporting
by Bradley Giesbrecht 24 Dec '11

24 Dec '11

With dovecot2 and pigeonhole sieve/managesieve is it currently possible to store sieve rules in an sql database? If not is there a way to query all accounts; looking for things like active vacation rules? Regards, Bradley Giesbrecht

[Dovecot] Corrupted index cache file and high CPU usage
by hydra 24 Dec '11

24 Dec '11

I suspect, that dovecot v2.0.16 under Linux (tested on Gentoo 3.0.4 Hardened, Gentoo 3.0.6, Gentoo 3.1.4) causes 100% cpu utilization when index.cache is broken and doveadm is lanched. Dovecot uses LDAP as the userdb and provides IMAP and LDA. Because each user has a quota, the doveadm's expunge functionality is used to get rid of old trashed mail. The mail log: Dec 12 07:38:59 www dovecot: imap(user): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/data/mail/domain.tld/user/mail/dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size Doveadm is launched as: doveadm -D expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 1w Mail is stored on ext4 and flush will use all of the CPU capacity like this: load average: 4.00, 4.01, 4.05 ps: root 26401 98.2 0.0 0 0 ?

When this happens, I cannot unmount the drive nor a system reboot works. Thank you !

[Dovecot] Limit maximum connections for user/IP on proxy
by Martin Abrahamsson 23 Dec '11

23 Dec '11

Hi, Is it possible to limit the maximum number of IMAP connections allowed for a user from each IP address, on the proxy server instead of on the mail store server? mail_max_userip_connections works well when the client is connection to the mail store without proxy, but when using proxies the POP/IMAP server will register the remote IP (rip) as the proxy server's IP address - thus a low limit will be reached quite easily. Thanks -- Martin Abrahamsson

[Dovecot] Patch for dovecot 1.2.16 (and .17) for vpopmail module
by Alessio Cecchi 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Hi Timo, I love dovecot but I love also vpopmail and its functions for manage user limits (via vmoduser). Unfortunately in dovecot 1.2.x auth default set to use "vpopmail" is unable to apply this limits. Only if used with checkpassword limits works fine but in the dovecot.log only user (without @domain) is logged. So, based on the code of dovecot 2.0, I have created this very simple patch that correct this bug.

[Dovecot] Backing Up To Windows File Server
by Asai 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Greetings, Working with dsync and setting up backups to a Windows file server. Problem seems to be that Windows is renaming the dovecot mail files (maildir) to Windows friendly filenames, and losing the Dovecot name. For example, 1323817925.M36368P32049.triata.globalchangemultimedia.net,S=2255,W=2318:2,S becomes 1AETPH~X. Does anyone have any ideas about how to tell Windows to not do this? Or is it not possible? -- --asai

[Dovecot] lmtp logging incomplete (does not tell what mailbox mail is actually being saved to!)
by Gary Chodos 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

We created a new virtual domain and created a user in that domain in our pgsql database. Instead of creating any directory structure in /home/virtual/mail/<domain>/<user>, I just sent a test email to see if dovecot's lmtp would autocreate. And it did! And mail appears to be delivered to an inbox.. but, logging is weird and I'm not sure everything is working as it should because: Dec 20 23:01:28 mx dovecot: lmtp(21458, user(a)example.com) lUDFG8tZ8U7SUwAAO3tENA: msgid=<20111221040122.GP13367(a)hostname.example.org>: saved mail to . so why doesn't dovecot log where mail is stored/saved? thanks, Gary
