[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA/LMTP vs postfix virtual delivery agent and the x-original-to header

Does anyone know if the use of LMTP (or even the dovecot LDA) still loses the x-original-to header that the postfix vda adds and that I rely heavily on (since I use a lot of aliases), and if it does, is there any solution to get the original recipient added back in before final delivery? Everything I'm reading says that LMTP is better, but I really do need this header (or one like it) to be there so I know who the original recipient was (for filtering and other purposes). Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] Dovecot stops with "Fatal: kevent(): Invalid argument"
by Henrik Larsson 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

# 2.0.11: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE amd64 Dovecot stops with the following logged: - master: Fatal: kevent(): Invalid argument I have found that a diff was created for "src/lib/ioloop-kqueue.c" for a similar issue: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2010-November/054855.html I have patched my system with this and haven't seen the problem since, but I don't know if this is a coincidence. Could you please explain if the diff should actually fix anything or just add some more logging in case it stops again? Best regards Henrik Larsson

[Dovecot] Plugins: virtuals vs acls
by Leho Kraav 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

Hi all dovecot-virtual: * all when dovecot-acl files restrict some subset of * for a user, does dovecot respect these ACLs when collecting messages for virtual folder? I'd like a confirmation about what I should be seeing when I start implementing this setup.

[Dovecot] Patch: 2.0 support for URLAUTH, BURL, CATENATE
by Mike Abbott 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Thank you Timo for beginning the port of URLAUTH, BURL, and CATENATE from 1.2 to 2.0. Attached please find two patches that finish the port to 2.0. One patch updates the dovecot-2.0-urlauth branch and is based on the tip of that branch. The other patch adds the full support to dovecot-2.0.beta5. The resulting URLAUTH/BURL/CATENATE code is the same. Please let me know if you have any questions about these patches. Thanks.

[Dovecot] Sieve vacation not working
by Phill Edwards 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

I've been trying all night to get vacation working in my .dovecot.sieve file. The way our email works is we have one account on dovecot which serves my mail and my wife's and we use procmail and sieve to put the emails in different folders depending on who it's for. I'm trying to set up a vacation reply on my wife's email address (aaaaaaaa@optus* below) so people can update to her new address. Here's my file with the email addresses masked: require ["fileinto", "vacation"]; if address :is "to" "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(a)ozemail.com.au" { fileinto "Phill_OzEmail_Folder"; stop; } elsif address :is "to" "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(a)optusnet.com.au" { fileinto "Phill_Optus_Folder"; stop; } elsif address :matches "to" "aaaaaaaa@optus*" { vacation "Please update my email address to bbbbbbbbb(a)exemail.com.au"; fileinto "Sarah_Optus_Folder"; stop; } else { keep; stop; } The problem I'm having is that no auto-replies are sent. I removed .dovecot.lda-dupes and that didn't help; so then I touched it and now it's a 0 byte file and that didn't help. There is no dovecot.sieve.err file and I can't see anything in /var/log/dovecot.log which gives any message about why this wouldn't work. The emails to aaaaaaa@optus* get filed into the right folder so I know the matching is working. I've also tried a reject recipe and that worked fine, so I know that it can send an email if it chooses to. So it's a complete black box mystery as to why it just won't send a reply. Regards, Phill

[Dovecot] RFE: IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes
by Patrick Ben Koetter 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Timo, would you consider adding support for "IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes" <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6154.txt> any time near in the future? I would really love to get rid of all those folders created by all those different mail clients just because they can't agree to use the same folder for special purpose. Obviously clients need to support it too. Having Dovecot support it certainly would make them adopt the standard sooner. p@rick -- state of mind Digitale Kommunikation http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstraße 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 München Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht München Partnerschaftsregister PR 563

[Dovecot] OT: z-Push
by Christian Rößner 04 Sep '13

04 Sep '13

Hi, just a short question: I have installed and configured z-Push to use BackendIMAP. On my iPhone I have created an account and I can see my mails. Also sending works. So far so good. Now the question: When I create a new folder i.e. Test under the root (/), then I get an error. And after resyncing the folder has been created not under /, but under /0/Test. Also I can not remove that folder over ActiveSync. Does somebody have z-Push fully working with Dovecot or is z-Push designed for Cyrus and only some features are working with Dovecot? So at the moment folder create/move/delete does not work here with z-Push-2.0.3 and Dovecot 2.1.9 Thanks in advance -Christian Rößner --- Bachelor of Science Informatik Erlenwiese 14, 36304 Alsfeld T: +49 6631 78823400, F: +49 6631 78823409, M: +49 176 93118939 USt-IdNr.: DE225643613, http://www.roessner-network-solutions.com
